Six months later and with a new Pelicans regime led by David Griffin, Davis’ dream scenario occurred. He was traded to the Lakers. “I just wanted to win, and right now we’re winning besides these four we lost in a row,” Davis told Yahoo Sports. “But we still have the best record in the West, and we’re going to continue to try to figure things out. But having the best record in the West and winning games in the regular season is not what my end goal is. I want to have some hardware. And I feel like we have the team and the personnel to do it. It’s a long season.”
