After two games the Lakers are getting to where they want to be, but an NBA analyst believes James Harden in LA could take things to the next level

With the James Harden and Philadelphia 76ers drama continuing to go on, ESPN's Kendrick Perkins makes the case for the Lakers to trade for James Harden to make Anthony Davis' life easier.

But the real question is if that would be the right move for LA, as Harden is known to be problematic and could break the locker room, just in a season when things look to go smoothly than ever.

Perkins said: "If I'm the Lakers, I might be looking to trade for James Harden... [it] makes the most sense for Anthony Davis. If you want to get him good easy looks like James did for Joel Embiid last season, how about trading for him?"

On the other hand, the move could make sense with LA starting to move away from LeBron James, but at the moment, everyone in the purple and gold seems to be happy with their guards.

Stephen A. Smith believes the Lakers could win it all if Anthony Davis wants it

"If Anthony Davis showed up on a night in, night out basis, the Lakers could win it all." Said Stephen A. Smith about AD's lack of consistency.
