The Los Angeles Lakers picked up an impressive victory on the road on Christmas Day, taking down the Golden State Warriors despite losing Anthony Davis in the first quarter to injury. The win showed some of the potential that exists within this team, and that perhaps this team could be a contender if Rob Pelinka and the front office can pull off the right move at the trade deadline.
That has been the story of this season so far for the Lakers and the pressure is growing on Pelinka to improve this roster. The team has been linked to many different players and is seemingly motivated to make a move, but finding the right deal has proved difficult.
