With a balance sheet which now points to 2 wins for 8 losses, it will take weeks for Darvin Ham’s men to return to the positive. If it happens. A real problem in Los Angeles, while Rob Pelinka could try to fix it quickly with a trade. Two new names are just mentioned…
The crisis continues on the side of the City of Angels. With a new defeat against the Jazz this Monday evening, without LeBron James, Darvin Ham’s men are not doing much better. The disappointments continue, to the point that Rob Pelinka could take action quickly to help his roster. If the Angelinos do not want to fall too far behind the competition, we must in any case act.
Trade in sight for the Lakers?
This is why two names could soon strengthen the rank of Purple and Gold. We are not talking about Buddy Hield and Myles Turner, almost untouchable given their current performances. According to SpursTalk’s LJ Ellis, the Lakers are tied to San Antonio. It seems that Doug McDermott and Josh Richardson are very popular in Los Angeles. It remains to be seen whether an agreement is possible…
According to a source, the Los Angeles Lakers targeted Josh Richardson and Doug McDermott in a trade involving Russell Westbrook. However, these discussions have not advanced, since the Lakers do not want to integrate several second rounds to recruit the two players. (…) If the Spurs recover Westbrook, sources confirm that it will not be retained, allowing him to become a free agent.
Richardson is averaging 10.3 points this season, with a 41.9% three-pointer that wouldn’t be too much in Los Angeles. McDermott remains the most impressive, with a percentage climbing to 43.1. Two players capable of providing scoring and a light defense…against Russell Westbrook and draft rounds. Seeing how the leader performs off the bench, is it really a good idea? Not for internet users.
Josh Richardson is not the solution to their 3 point issues…

They’re trying to clear Westbrook when he’s literally the best creator and brings the most energy this year, unbelievable.
Buddy Hield and Myles Turner received more home-level success. It must be said that both are superior to Josh Richardson and Doug McDermott, but let’s not forget that the means of the Lakers are very limited. However, Rob Pelinka finds himself with the obligation to do something. We should know more in the next few weeks…
