Anthony Davis has really come into his own as a leader for the Los Angeles Lakers both on and off the court.
Davis played second fiddle to LeBron James when he initially arrived, but has since taken over the mantle as the franchise’s primary superstar.
Davis and James’ partnership immediately resulted in a title in 2020, but the two have been searching for ways to get back to the NBA Finals. It’s no surprise then that both Davis and James have been pushing the front office to make trades at the deadline to give them a better shot of competing.
