The Los Angeles Lakers are 26-30, ninth in the Western Conference.
They've lost six of their last eight, including Wednesday's loss to a Portland Trail Blazers team that has been stripped to the studs. Their biggest acquisition of the offseason is publicly airing his grievances with their head coach. They're being openly mocked by one member of the team in first place.
That team, a team which entered this season fully expecting to contend with their big three and veteran supporting cast, ended up doing nothing at the trade deadline.
