While the Lakers were active with a seemingly distinct plan in free agency of getting much younger than last season, the area they didn’t address was shooting. They did take strides forward as DraftKings lists them at +1300 odds to win the title, fourth-best in the Western Conference and eighth-best odds overall.
But that very big weakness remains and is something they will have to fix if they want to compete for a title. The team’s belief is that they can address shooting in other avenues with their final roster spots, a potential trade with Kyrie Irving being the prime example.
