The Internet went nuts with the trade and mocked LaVar Ball after Lonzo got shipped off to New Orleans.

Lebron, Anthony Davis and Kyle Kuzma can compete for the title. Las Vegas has them as a favorite (still feels like they need another shooter) The Pelicans will be a blast to watch and strong for years. Like the deal for both.
