The Los Angeles Lakers are facing the New Orlean Pelicans tonight, and Anthony Davis is listed as questionable to meet his former team; this isn't good news for the squad that is trying to have their second win back-to-back.

The good news is that Juan Toscano-Anderson is now listed as probable and is almost guaranteed that he will see minutes in the game against New Orleans.

But with the Anthony Davis situation, a lot  has been speculated if it's time to move on forward, as when he is fully healthy, he is undoubtedly one of the best players in the league; the problem is he can't stay healthy anymore.

Three options could replace AD; even when the teams won't like to trade them, the Lakers could find the way; the first option is Devin Booker, who has already been his replacement in an All-star call. The second option would be the Grizzlies star Mike Conley, who has been a little underrated. And the third would be DeMar DeRozan, who almost was a Laker player last year, but Pelinka decided to go with Russell Westbrook.

The free agent Dwight Howard could be an option.

Even when former Lakers player Dwight Howard plays at the center, the veteran could make a comeback to the team, give some experience, and, even with the rest of the roster, help cover the absence of AD
