Los Angeles Lakers
Record: 11-10
Grade: C
Even though the Los Angeles Lakers have begun to play a bit better over the last couple of weeks, this team still doesn’t look like a playoff team. Apart from LeBron James, there’s no other real consistent factor on the roster.
And that’s been this team’s biggest issue this season – they don’t have a clear No. 2 on the roster, and it’s hurt this team’s ability to climb up the standings in the difficult and competitive Western Conference.
In the end, this team will likely still make the playoffs, but I can’t help but think that this team needs a trade in the worse way. They need to shakeup this roster and need to find a legit No. 2 option to stick next to LeBron.
