The Portland Trail Blazers hit the road for a five game road trip, starting with a date against the updated Los Angeles Lakers. The Blazers weren’t much of a match for Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers Monday, losing 125-103. Now they’ll face LeBron James (?), Anthony Davis and new Laker Dorian Finney-Smith in Los Angeles.
Lakers fans are of course buzzing about the trade that sent D’Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis, and three second round picks to the Brooklyn Nets for Finney-Smith and Shake Milton. Most pundits are pretty enthusiastic about the trade for the Lakers, but the big question is what comes next for them.
