Whether you love or loathe the Lakers, I think everyone can agree that their roster as currently constructed is not good enough to win an NBA championship (which is the stated goal of every top decision-maker in the organization). I’m not breaking news or offering up a hot take when I say this — the Lakers are currently 3-10 and have the second-worst record in the western conference. And while the pending returns of Dennis Schröder and Thomas Bryant will help, they’re two role-players coming back to a team in need of more than two role players, if they’re to morph into title contenders.
The Lakers have more draft picks than you’ve been led to believe
