Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 30-point game helped the Thunder secure their win. Lakers fans are not happy with the team’s losing record. With two back-to-back losses, the Lakers stand as the 13th seed in the Western conference, struggling to move up the ladder. Fans are now looking forward to the team, as D’Angelo Russell has reunited with the Lakers in a blockbuster trade today. The trade has also sent Russell Westbrook to the Utah Jazz, shocking the entire league.?

Will the Lakers make a few more additions?

The Lakers’ front office delivered right before the deadline with a few additions. D’Angelo Russell and Malik Beasley are the new athletes to join the team after Rui Hachimura. The Lakers still have a chance to move Patrick Beverly and Lonnie Walker IV a few hours away from the deadline. Although that might be a difficult task for the front office.

Fans consider the trades to be a good addition, as these players suit the needs of the team. Three-point shooting and defense stand as the main weakness. D-Lo is a great shooter outside the line, and Beasley has a notable defensive skill set. Hachimura has a great wingspan, which will be useful in both offense and defense. However, only consistent wins can help the team reach the playoffs.??
