Much ink has been spilled over the failures of the Los Angeles Lakers this NBA season. That’s an inevitable consequence of rostering two former MVPs alongside Anthony Davis and failing to qualify for the play-in tournament.
This offseason, the Lakers will go back to the drawing board. Most observers expect them to seek new digs for Russell Westbrook. By all means, that might be the right move. His inability to fit in with LeBron James caused the team a tremendous amount of grief in 2021-22.
