LA needs to make one key acquisition for a shooter

If the Los Angeles Lakers are going to make some waves this season, they’re probably going to need to make one key acquisition. And it will likely have to be someone that can shoot the lights out of the basketball.

I don’t know if that’s Buddy Hield or Eric Gordon or perhaps another player that hasn’t been linked to the Lakers just yet, but this team needs to add shooting. The Lakers lost their best 3-point shooter from last season in Malik Monk and he needs to be replaced.

The Lakers, especially with LeBron and AD, are probably closer to contention than most realize. But they don’t have much room for error this season.
