Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis suggested Saturday that he is relieved the NBA trade deadline has passed.

According to Marc J. Spears of ESPN's The Undefeated, Davis said getting beyond the deadline "lifted weight off the shoulders," before adding, "This is our team, let's go."

Despite owning a disappointing 26-31 record this season, the Lakers did not make any moves prior to Thursday's deadline.
