The goal of the Los Angeles Lakers is always to compete for a championship and that is especially the case with LeBron James in the final years of his career. This team as currently constructed is clearly not a championship contender, however, and some are wondering what moves could be next.
The team already swung a trade for a much-needed 3-and-D wing in Dorian Finney-Smith, but he alone is not enough to boost this team to elite status. Even with James and Anthony Davis playing at All-NBA levels, the Lakers just aren’t there and now the trade deadline is less than a month away.
