Apparently the Lakers have a couple of major weaknesses. This article outlines them well. Bench scoring as a whole really sucks and of course the Lakers are a horrible defensive team and have been for awhile!!

Defense would get a quick boost when Vando returns. Koloko may help in a depth role as well, once he gets fully worked into the rotation. If the Lakers finally pull the trigger on a trade, hopefully they focus on that as well. Right now, the only real defenders are AD, Christie and Reddish (maybe Vincent?). Lebron tends to float, and we know Dlo/AR/Knecht aren't defensive minded.

Was nervous in the first half as they struggled but they managed to put it away in the 2nd half.

Reddish has been a nice insertion into the starting lineup as a defender and Russell is playing well off the bench with the 2nd unit as the primary scorer.

Back-to-backer coming at the end of the week. Both away games. We suck on the road, so the Lakers could be at the bottom of the standings by Sunday.

Click bait bullshit. We don't need no Zach Lavine.


Absolutely trash trade. Lakers already are struggling with their bench, so let's trade multiple pcs for a contract that nobody wants. Hell no.

Russell to the Nets for Schroder and Sharpe sounds much better to me. Expand it to Russell/Rui/JHS/Lewis for Schroder/Sharpe/Johnson? Use the extra roster spot to elevate Olivari or Koloko.

All depends on the Nets being sellers (which they should be; their decent start needs to be tanked to rebuild IMO).

The Spurs and Pels up next.

Need to win both and be sitting at 8-4.

Good win.

The amazing Bron James had another triple double, AD, Hachimura and Reaves all had good games and Knecht 4 was the guy off the bench nailing all 5 treys. He is going to be a major player for us.....

Lakers go to San Antonio on Friday. It is time for the Lakers to turn around this poor win-loss record for away games.

He's not human, he's a robot.

Another player, I was screaming for the Lakers to draft when they had the chance. They are now looking for a good Center and this guy was the ticket. Now AD has to face him and Edey is playing serious minutes and doing very well at the Center spot for Memphis. I suppose Knecht is a good seconds but what could have been with Edey.
