The Los Angeles Lakers season did not go according to plan, to put it lightly. According to Robby Kalland of Uproxx.com, since February 1st, the Lakers have the second-worst record in the NBA, a far cry from expectation for the Purple and Gold.
While a lot of this can be put down to injuries to key players, even more blame can be put on poor roster construction and the inability to land the second superstar Magic Johnson had promised.
If this season for the Lakers has proven anything, it has shown that it is essential that they land a second player capable of carrying the offensive load, that much is certain from the poor showing this season.
