Lonzo Ball is somehow still a Laker after being dangled in many different trade scenarios for Anthony Davis earlier this week.
Landed in Indy; update on Lakers-Pelicans talks. Magic Johnson, Dell Demps talked twice today, per source. Lakers willing to give Pelicans cap relief for Anthony Davis by taking Solomon Hill for Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Ingram, Rondo, Lance Stephenson, Beasley, 2 1st round picks.

Apparently the Pelicans trade talks with the Lakers fell through because the Pels are interested in engaging with the Boston Celtics in the summer.
New Orleans GM Dell Demps has had no communication today with Lakers president Magic Johnson on LA's most recent trade offer for Anthony Davis, league sources tell ESPN. Lakers running low on hope that Pelicans will engage them before Thursday's 3 PM trade deadline.

After not getting traded, Lonzo took to Instagram to celebrate by blasting P. Diddy’s “Bad Boy 4 Life”.

Unfortunately for Lonzo he’s going to have to head back into the Lakers locker room and coexist with his teammates after his father put everyone on blast this morning.
