The NBA Trade Deadline Looms Large For LeBron and the Lakers

Los Angeles has won five games in a row behind the strong play of LeBron James, but the superstar has made it clear the team needs to make moves.

The Lakers, the team Rob Pelinka misassembled (I’ve written some version of that), LeBron James couldn’t carry (ditto) and Anthony Davis couldn’t stay healthy enough to support (well … ). The team that reacted to last season’s 33-win disaster by ousting the person (Frank Vogel) least responsible for it.

That’s right … the Lakers.
