The NBA Trade Deadline is exactly one week from Thursday on Feb. 6, meaning the Los Angeles Lakers have seven days to make some final decisions about their team. Their biggest choice revolves around Anthony Davis, who recently went public with a request that the Lakers add another center and allow him to play more power forward. He has been saying this for years, but has never done so with such directness as he did recently.
After that, Davis went down with a nondescript abdominal strain that is expected to sideline him for at least one week.
