?That?s Why He?s Getting Traded?: Star Center, Linked to LeBron James? Lakers, Reportedly Seeking a Big Payday Has NBA Fans Going Bonkers

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a tough time at the start of this season. With a 2-5 record so far, the Lakers are currently in 13th place in the Western Conference. Be it their lackluster three-point shooting or troubles with Russell Westbrook, the Lakers have not gotten on to a great start. LeBron James and co. have also been dealing with nagging injuries constantly. And that has led some fans to wonder why the Lakers’ front office hasn?t made some roster changes.?

Fans are constantly voicing their concerns with the Lakers roster and their lack of depth for three-point shooting. Another issue is the injuries that Anthony Davis has been dealing with so far. This is making them think the Lakers should make some trades to bolster their roster going forward.
