The Los Angeles Lakers need to do anything possible to improve the roster and make it even further in the NBA Playoffs next season. Making the Western Conference Finals is great but the ultimate goal is to hang banner No. 18 in the rafters.
Luckily, the Lakers actually have flexibility this offseason, unlike in previous years. Because of the moves made at the deadline — which Rob Pelinka dubbed pre-agency — the Lakers have a solid core that can easily be added to in a variety of ways.
Some additions may come via free agency but fans may also see the Lakers pull off a trade.
