Its been a long time since the Lakers have had a team with no superstar on their roster. They’ve seemingly always had at least one superstar since the beginning of time with George Mikan, Jerry West, and Elgin Baylor. The last two big names to dawn the Purple and Gold were Shaquille O’neal and Kobe Bryant.
Looking at their current roster you can see they’re missing that marquee franchise player. However what they do have is good young players with a lot of potential. This has some Laker fans wanting to trade those young players in order to try and acquire a superstar who might be available like a Demarcus Cousins or go after them in free agency.
