Lakers Land Hornets’ Terry Rozier In Bold Trade Scenario

In the NBA, nothing counts more than talent. Look at the last several NBA champions. Without fail, they feature one of the best players in the NBA. At the same time, you need more than talent to succeed. 

Just ask the Los Angeles Lakers. They’ve got three superstar-caliber talents between LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook. Yet, somehow, they sit 13-17.

Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets are one of the worst teams in the NBA at 8-23. They’ve got a star talent in LaMelo Ball, but unfortunately, he’s been injured for much of the season. 

Whether the Lakers like it or not, they are in an urgent position to contend if they want to make the most of having LeBron James at the end of his NBA career. He can’t be traded midseason after signing a contract extension, so without a midseason move to improve the roster, the situation is stuck.

Can the Lakers make a marginal move using Russell Westbrook’s contract to improve around James? If they have a deal out there, it’s worth considering.

Could these two underwhelming squads make a deal this season?
