We have been told, I think, through channels – most of us have heard this same scuttlebutt – that Gayle Benson has basically told him, “To the Lakers, over my dead body.”

To be fair, this seems like a second or third hand rumor, and it seems incredibly unlikely to be coming from the Pels.

But it is likely ultimately true (also because the Lakers can't put up the best package).

UPDATE:

Story is completely false:

Per the “over my dead body” reports out there regarding Gayle Benson, the Lakers and Anthony Davis. I have spoken to Gayle. She laughed at the report and called it “totally absurd,” and “completely untrue.” @wdsu @basketballtalk @Rachel__Nichols
