The Lakers have been under the spotlight since the arrival of none other than the locomotive known as “King James”. As if last night’s Anthony Davis trade request drama wasn’t enough. The official announcement from agent Rich Paul regarding Anthony Davis has made trade request Heat Up Involving Bulls and Celtics. There’s now more news connected to the Davis-Lakers drama.
