The Los Angeles Lakers got their marquee player Anthony Davis back and running from his stress injury. However, many reports suggest that the 29-year-old has received much attention from the trade market. But the huge center is supposed to be the future of the Lakers as they thought he would be when they signed him.

There is no doubt that Anthony Davis will be a considerable part of the Lakers’ future after they bid farewell to LeBron. King James is already 38 and playing the most premium and precious last few years of basketball in the NBA. However, soon he will hit retirement, and father time will take over him to witness his kids in the NBA.

   

So when that time comes, Anthony will step up to become the face of the franchise. Until then, Hollywood is set with their prominent stars playing in the Purple and Gold as both have extended contracts. And James even aspires to play alongside his children in the NBA, which is impossible for two more years.
