We are way past midseason for the Los Angeles Lakers. The playoffs are getting closer, and the Lakers are putting the final touches on the roster. They signed Markieff Morris and more recently Dion Waiters to add another scorer to complete their bench.
These additions are obviously important for a contender that needs to round up its rotations before a playoff push, but the core part was built in the summer. The group that brought the team where it is now.
This particular Lakers team seems to have developed good chemistry and a strong bond, one that championship teams cannot do without.
