The Los Angeles Lakers have had a significant amount of roster turnover this offseason as they hope to be more competitive this season after a dreadful 2014-15 season. The Lakers brought in guys like Roy Hibbert, Brandon Bass and Lou Williams to try and improve the team but they also lost Ed Davis. In his one season with the Lakers, Davis had his best season in the NBA and reportedly wanted to re-sign in Los Angeles but the two sides couldn't agree to a deal, according to Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders.

Davis reportedly said that his first choice in free agency was to remain a Laker but that he also wasn't surprised with how things worked out because it's a business. Prior to last season Davis signed a two year $2 million deal with the Lakers with a player option for year two. Davis had a very good year and ended up declining the player option. Davis went on to sign a three year $20 million contract with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Davis is a 26 year old power forward that will be playing for his fourth NBA team already next season. Davis was a big time prospect coming out of high school and also coming out of college at North Carolina. So far in the NBA he has been a solid bench guy as he averages 12.1 points and 10.6 rebounds per 36 minutes. Davis is 6 foot-10 and very long which helps him rebound well and block shots. Throughout his career Davis has only averaged 21.4 minutes per game but he has always been productive in those minutes.

Last season with the Lakers Davis averaged 8.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 23.3 minutes per game while making 60 percent of his field goal attempts. Davis has yet to get a chance to be a starter or even play big minutes in the NBA but that chance might come this year in Portland. Davis is likely the favorite to start at power forward for the Blazers with his main competition being Noah Vonleh and Meyers Leonard.

Since signing in Portland Davis has said that he would love for this to be his last stop and to be able to retire as a Blazer. Davis is still nowhere near retirement but he has bounced around so much it makes sense for him to want to stay in one place for a while. If Davis shows well during his three year contract in Portland he may just be able to stay for the very long-term.
