Summary

Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers when he want's out of New Orleans, LaMarcus Aldridge wants out of the San Antonio Spurs, he ends up in with the Brooklyn Nets, just like James Harden wanted out of Houston and ended up in the same place.

I think you'll agree, this system is not sustainable. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
