Los Angeles Lakers Receive: C Bam Adebayo, G Tyler Herro, F P.J. Tucker, 2025 First-Round Pick, 2027 First-Round Pick

Miami Heat Receive: C/F Anthony Davis, C DeAndre Jordan

This trade would certainly shake up the landscape of the NBA. The Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers are both considered contenders already, but this trade would shift those standings a little bit.

It would be hard to imagine the Heat parting ways with that much depth, as they have been hesitant to do it previously. However, acquiring an all-world talent in Anthony Davis may be something the team feels is worthwhile.

A new Big 3 is formed in South Beach with Davis joining Kyle Lowry and Jimmy Butler. That is a fearsome trio that will cause problems for every team in the Eastern Conference in the postseason.

Los Angeles gets quite a haul in return. Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro become the new long-term faces of the franchise along with Talen Horton-Tucker. P.J. Tucker is an excellent pickup to remain competitive navigating the Western Conference, providing some toughness in the frontcourt.
