Lakers are going to need a real evaluation about their team. They are 8-3 but are sporting an abysmal 1.6 point differential. They look closer to the other teams than to the top 6. They might be negative after this game. Every player not named Luka needs to be offered up. LeBron is not going to save this team. Probably why they're ready to move on. A 26 year old Superstar and 40 year old star do not mesh.
