Los Angeles has had a new starting lineup basically every other game this season as players are constantly in and out of the lineup whether it be because of injuries or entering the league’s health and safety protocols.
Los Angeles will do all they can to compete this season and as long as James is around, but they have to keep an eye on the future. They put a lot of assets toward building this Big 3 and depleted their future.
The Lakers have virtually no draft capital to speak of and very few long-term player assets. As a result, could they actually entertain the idea of trading Anthony Davis at some point down the road?
