Los Angeles Lakers: Is the current roster built to win a title?

We’re slightly past the halfway point of the season for the Los Angeles Lakers. The February 6th trade deadline approaches. How should Lakers’ general manager Rob Pelinka approach a crucial time for transactions?

Between the deadline and the buyout market, the Lakers can add a veteran or two to strengthen the roster. Does this team absolutely need help?

That question came up after the Lakers’ 128-113 victory over the Brooklyn Nets last week.

ESPN’s Dave McMenamin tweeted LeBron James‘ response.

With the trade deadline coming up on Feb. 6th, LeBron was asked if the Lakers are "one piece away" from cementing their championship contender status.
