The Los Angeles Lakers are in an incredibly odd position at the minute. The team has a 22-26 record more than halfway through the regular season. But in a Western Conference where everything is wide open, they are just one streak away from finding themselves within the playoff places. The roster has been criticized all season long, but the Lakers have been linked with making some serious moves.
The Los Angeles Lakers recently acquired Rui Hachimura, and Rob Pelinka went on to suggest that this wasn’t the end of their business. With two picks and Russell Westbrook’s contract to play with, there have been suggestions that they could even land a star. And most importantly, Anthony Davis, who was playing like an MVP before his injury, will return soon. But even their biggest fans aren’t feeling too bullish about the Lakers.
Shannon Sharpe Says The Lakers Have A 5% Chance Of Winning The Championship
If there is one thing Shannon Sharpe has proved in recent times, it is that he is a massive fan of the Los Angeles Lakers. He has been spotted at games multiple times, even participating in a heated exchange with the visiting Memphis Grizzlies. But despite the great love that Shannon has for the Lakers and LeBron James, he doesn’t see how the team can win it all, even when Anthony Davis returns.

“I think they have so much ground to make up,” Sharpe said. “You still going to have to figure out a closing lineup … 5% chance if AD comes back, plays like he played before he got injured.”
In a 13-game stretch before he got injured, Anthony Davis was averaging 32.4 points per game and grabbing 14 rebounds on average to go along with that. Those are MVP numbers, and the Lakers went 8-5 during that stretch. The team seems to have come together a little as the season has gone on, with role players stepping up too, so there’s still every chance they could make some waves in the Western Conference.
Ultimately, it all rests on Rob Pelinka making a move to add more talent to their roster. The Lakers will need some more help, and some options would make them immediate contenders. A 5 percent chance seems fair for now, but stranger things have happened in sports.
