The Los Angeles Lakers have bounced back from back-to-back blowout losses a week ago to string together three wins in a row. They first defeated the Boston Celtics without LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and they then downed the New York Knicks and Charlotte Hornets to end their six-game road trip with a solid 4-2 mark.
The trade deadline is less than 48 hours away, and rumors continue to swirl regarding what the Lakers may or may not do. While they may be turning a corner, they still have real roster deficiencies that should be addressed if they are to make the playoffs and do damage there.
