The Los Angeles Lakers have been linked with a string of big men in recent weeks. The Feb. 6 trade deadline is fast approaching. Rob Pelinka is expected to make at least one more move following the addition of Dorian Finney-Smith from the Brooklyn Nets.

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.

Davis, selected for the fourth time in his six seasons as a Laker, is averaging 25.7 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.1 blocked shots and 1.3 steals in 34.3 minutes.
