Los Angeles Lakers fans might want to sit down while listening to Paul Pierce’s suggestion on how to fix their team.
Speaking with Kevin Garnett, via All the Smoke Productions, Pierce said the Lakers should trade Anthony Davis, bring Bronny James out of the G League, and let him and LeBron “cook” for the rest of the season.
Garnett could hardly believe his co-host’s idea, and Lakers fans all over the world collectively gasped when hearing it.
Man… the Truth just might have the Lakers figured out 🤣

While everyone agrees that the Lakers should try something before the upcoming trade deadline, few people think they should consider getting rid of Davis.
If anything, they feel the Lakers should continue to double down on Davis and keep him as the centerpiece of the team.
Davis is posting 27.5 points and 11.2 rebounds per game.
This means he’s a central part of the Lakers.
However, if the front office really did toy with the idea of cutting Davis loose, they would get a huge return for him.
He would immediately become the biggest target on the trade market, and he could greatly change the future of the Lakers.
But LA will most certainly not trade Davis away and promote Bronny to a full-time player.
They will think of some other changes they can make, though.
Pierce believes the Lakers should part ways with Davis, but most fans think he should remain in LA as long as possible.
The Lakers trading Davis would be the biggest NBA shock in years, and it probably won’t occur.
But the team is in a tough spot and stranger things have happened, so perhaps Pierce is onto something.
