Hopefully, we see the Los Angeles Lakers make a trade to get LeBron James some help in the future. There have been many calls to get him some help, but the Lakers have held off on making a trade thus far.
The Los Angeles Lakers Could Ride It Out With Current Team
Even though the Los Angeles Lakers have the ability to make a trade, that doesn’t mean it will happen in the future. In fact, a previous report revealed that the team is giving “serious consideration” to simply “riding out the season” with their current roster if they don’t find a good deal.
Internally, sources said, there’s been serious consideration given to riding out the season without making a major deal if they can’t find one that would make the team a realistic contender.
Thanks to Davis’ and James’ injuries, roster depth depleted from a deal for Russell Westbrook and a revolving supporting cast since his title with L.A., the Lakers’ level of competitiveness since winning the 2020 NBA championship has been uneven at best.
This season, while fully healthy, they went to Milwaukee and played a near-perfect game to beat the Bucks.
This stance from the Los Angeles Lakers is somewhat understandable. If they made a smaller deal, they would have to mortgage their future draft compensation, with no guarantee of winning a championship. Perhaps it is best to simply wait for the right opportunity to trade for a star-level player that can be a difference-maker for the team.
Hopefully, we see the Los Angeles Lakers improve as a team, with or without a trade. It is unfortunate that LeBron James is currently on a non-competitive team, but that could change in the future once Anthony Davis comes back.
