Anthony Davis leaves the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ers early with an apparent injury.

Davis believes they are just a couple of players away from being title contenders, and he hopes the front office can add a center before the Feb. 6 trade deadline.

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.
