The Los Angeles Lakers are attempting to figure out who they are as a basketball as new faces come together and a new playing style emerged. With so much room to grow, are they turning to the talents of LeBron James too much, and what does that say about young players like Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram?
On this episode of the Lakers Nation Podcast, host Trevor Lane and guest Hannah Kulik dive into the question, taking a look at whether the team’s youngsters are ready to take their games to the next level.
If not, it’s possible that the Lakers will pursue a trade to give them a boost this season, and that could mean targeting Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal, who has had trade rumors swirling around him for much of the season.
