The Los Angeles Lakers had the most disappointing season, failing to even reach the playoffs. The fans were expecting so much from the team at the start of the season, but it didn’t happen. They were one of the favorites heading into the 2021-22 season, with LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook on their side.

In light of the fact that the season has ended, everybody’s attention is focused on the offseason. The Lakers have been in the news with various trade rumors going around. It is no secret they have been looking to trade Russell Westbrook, and there have been reports of them trying to sign Kyrie Irving.
