The 2019 NBA Draft is just a few days away, but the entire basketball world is still talking about the huge Anthony Davis trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans from Saturday.
The Lakers acquired a superstar center in Davis, but they did so at an enormous cost. Los Angeles sent Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and a bevy of unprotected first-round picks and swaps, essentially giving up their draft capital for the next five or six years.
This trade will have an impact on other moves made around the league, including both free-agent and trade transactions. The rumor mill is going to be churning at warp speed leading into the draft, and also in the week or so leading into free agency on June 30.
Keep it right here throughout Monday for the latest trade rumors, free-agent news, draft buzz and more!

Charania also reports the Utah Jazz as the "frontrunner" to acquire Memphis Grizzlies star Mike Conley via trade if Memphis selects a point guard with the No. 2 pick in the 2019 draft.
12:51 p.m.: Mark Singer of the Denver Post reported Sunday the Nuggets weren't willing to include talented guard Jamal Murry in AD trade talks. If that's the case, Denver had no shot of landing the superstar center.
ESPN's Tim McMahon wrote Monday "There is friction between James Harden and Chris Paul, the franchise's two maximum-salary centerpieces." The Rockers could be a team to watch this summer if general manager Daryl Morey decides to make another bold trade. He's certanly not afraid to shake things up.
11 a.m. ET: The Pelicans have more assets than any team in the league following the Davis trade, and moving the No. 4 pick (via Los Angeles) in the 2019 NBA Draft could help them acquire an established star to pair with likely top pick Zion Williamson.
The Atlanta Hawks have the No. 8 and No. 10 picks in the 2019 draft, and they are one team looking to move up in the lottery.
One player who won't play on the Pelicans' new-look roster next season is Julius Randle.
It doesn't sound like the Houston Rockets want to move on from veteran point guard Chris Paul.
