Lakers Nation expects the front office to pull off a mid-season miracle like last year and turn the season around with some great moves.
One of the biggest Lakers fans, Snoop Dogg, made an earnest plea to team owner Jeanie Buss while tearing into LeBron James’ teammate for his inconsistent form.

“Jeanie, this is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you. We have to move some furniture,” the rapper said. Snoop requested the Lakers owner to make some trades before the trade deadline to improve the current roster and end the team’s struggles.
“Get us some young guns out there,” Snoop added. According to him, the Lakers freeze up when a young team shows up in town. He gave an example of Ja Morant and how well he was playing before getting injured.

The Lakers acquired Prince last summer from Minnesota and expected him to be a two-way presence on the team. But he has been highly inconsistent all season. Prince is averaging 9.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists. He shows glimpses of greatness some nights and falls flat on others. Jeanie Buss might consider trading Prince among other players to acquire a more consistent star for her team.
