The Lakers are evaluating the roster to determine if they’d prefer to make a smaller move or a bigger one to address the roster’s need for better perimeter shooting and size, sources tell jovanbuha. Will L.A. go all-in?
But given the Pacers’ hot start and potential ambition of remaining competitive rather than bottoming out, it’s unclear if they’d even be willing to reconsider that deal’s original framework. The Lakers may have already missed their window with Indiana.
The other benefit of waiting until at least Dec. 15 to make a move is that the Lakers can trade players they signed in free agency. One name to watch is, who’s the fourth-highest-paid player on the team at $13 million. Beverley is a still an elite defender and one of the group’s vocal leaders, but he’s averaging a career-low 4.1 points per game and shooting a career-worst 23.8 percent on 3s.
, could still have value on teams looking for veteran backcourt help. The Lakers’ needs and glut of guards make both expendable.Considering the top-heavy makeup of the roster, there are only six players making more than a minimum salary.
The Lakers’ blueprint for success was always going to require elite production from James and Davis. After a rocky start, both are playing more like like the All-NBA-level players the Lakers need them to be. Davis is averaging 33.4 points, 17.6 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 2.6 blocks over his last five games. James needed just a game to regain his rhythm after a five-game absence, scoring a season-high 39 points with a season-high seven 3s against the Spurs on Saturday.
The reasons for optimism extend beyond just the two stars. New head coach Darvin Ham has convinced his players to buy into their roles and his system. Walker IV and Reaves are growing into effective role players.
