lakers head coach Darvin Ham declared his departure on
With the Lakers possibly looking to bring in some roster reinforcements ahead of the trade deadline, their starting point guard could be on the move.
- The Lakers are considering making roster moves as the trade deadline approaches, with D’Angelo Russell considered their most valuable trade asset.
- The Lakers have been linked with Dejounte Murray as a potential trade target.
- Despite shooting inconsistencies, Russell has been shown to have a significant impact on the team’s offense when he is on the court.
The Los Angeles Lakers are currently in a very poor run of form, having won only six of their previous 18 games and continuing to slide down the Western Conference rankings. As such, they now face the predicament of whether to abandon their continuity project and make some roster moves as the trade deadline fast approaches.
However, their wins haven’t just come against teams in the NBA that have below-.500 records. Perhaps surprisingly, they picked up two wins against the impressive Oklahoma City Thunder, as well as defeating their arena rivals the L.A. Clippers, of whom are each vying for the top spots in the West.
Nonetheless, the Lakers currently find themselves sitting just within a play-in tournament spot in 10th place, with a 20-21 record so far on the season, and this has prompted rumors over whether they will choose to forgo their continuity experiment and be one of the most active teams ahead of the trade deadline next month.
