Los Angeles Lakers: 3 people not named Luke Walton responsible for slow start

Let the Los Angeles Lakers rumors begin! I mean, did anyone think that this Lakers season would be without a little Hollywood drama after LeBron James left Cleveland (…again) to take his talents to the west coast?

The gauge of the Lakers success varied from the team going to the Western Conference Finals (Not me folks…that was Stephen A. Smith) to the team struggling with a chance to miss the playoffs altogether.

Well, the Lakers coming out slow this season at 5-6, the supposed words of comfort like patience, positionless basketball and playmakers have been replaced with…drama, defensive lapses, inconsistency and frustrations.
