The trade deadline is getting closer and closer, and teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers could be in the middle of closing some huge deals worth watching. In fact, as Anthony Davisand LeBron James are back in to the probable list of players, the Purple and Gold will have to set a joint trade to make this happens.
Despite their 8-2 record in the last 10 games, things couldn’t hold on for the Lakers as the Purple and Gold lost once again Davis and James won’t be in any back-to-back games. So the team managed by Darvin Ham will have to seek for inmediate solutions in the short-term run for the rest of season.
In the middle of a six-game schedule on the road, neither of the players that performed over the expectations couldn’t hold up with it and the Lakers have already lost of those games. Their last two games on the road will be against the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Detroit Pistons.
