The Los Angeles Lakers need to add a little more talent to their roster this offseason in order to be able to seriously contend for the NBA championship next season. One question is whether they will look to make incremental improvements or major changes.
It has been suggested by at least one prominent writer that the Lakers may need to trade guard Austin Reaves in order to take the next step. Reaves increased his production yet again this season, but he played poorly in the first round of the playoffs when L.A. lost in five games to the Minnesota Timberwolves, and once again, people are re-examining his weaknesses.
