The Los Angeles Lakers have made adding a big man "even more of a priority" after Anthony Davis' recent comments regarding his desire to see the team

The Los Angeles Lakers, now in direct Western Conference NBA playoff contention, are aiming to build on their winning streak. Anthony Davis’ stellar performances have been pivotal, prompting surprising words from head coach JJ Redick.

Davis hasn't just given the front office a directionless mandate to improve the team — he has ideas on how it should be done, namely that the Lakers trade for a center so that he can slide to the 4, which he has long stated is his preferred position. Rob Pelinka, I hope you're listening.

According to NBA reporter Jovan Buha of The Athletic, trading for a center is a big priority for the Los Angeles Lakers.  Anthony Davis will miss at least one week after suffering an abdominal muscle strain in the Lakers’ loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday.

LeBron James spoke about Davis' unfortunate injury and what is the biggest challenge for the Lakers with their best player likely missing at least a couple of games.

During the win over the Hornets, Lakers star Anthony Davis had a dominant showing, capping off the night with 42 points and 23 rebounds. The NBA posted Davis' first-quarter numbers, where Davis posted 21 points and 11 rebounds in the first 12 minutes, shooting 9-of-12 from the field. "ANTHONY DAVIS WITH A DOMINANT FIRST QUARTER," posted the NBA.

Anthony Davis was ruled out for at least one week after suffering an abdominal muscle injury against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, the team announced.

The Los Angeles Lakers are fifth in the Western Conference, but if they go after a reported trade target, they could have more than enough size to tackle the Denver Nuggets.
