I like to think of myself as an optimist so with roughly 35 games left in the season a lot can still happen. As long as the Lakers don’t pull away and stay within 2 or 3 games of the bottom group I’m still hopeful.
Lakers need to get back to their losing ways, and the trade deadline can’t come me soon enough as well as the buyout market.
There is talk of Randle and Clarkson potential trades, but I would also keep an eye on Lopez, Caldwell Pope, and Brewer as potential buyout candidates as all are in the last year of their contract.
