The Lakers need a trade?

The attention has been on the coach for the past days with the lakers. Is it because of the coach that the lakers are still struggling? Maybe they need a trade. Could there be a trade happening before the deadline? What are your thoughts?

In my most personal opinion, I believe that a trade is not the best solution to their problem right now. What they need is to acclimatize themselves in the new system that coach D'Antoni is employing. The sooner they make adjustments, the better for them in the long run. However, if they can't put their ego outside the door, they will not become what they envision themselves to be in the coming playoffs. Bryant is putting his all in every game. I don't know of the others. If they find a way to play cohesive team basketball, they will become a force to reckon with during the post-season. They don't need a trade right now. A little polishing in their system would make a tremendous impact in their game as a team. I know they can do it - and they must do it fast.

Yeah. It would make them look good to find another small forward. I don't like world peace that much though. If they would get another player who is young and full of hustle then it would be better.

the lakers is a victim of its own high expectation. with the acquisition of nash and howard, the team puts itself as a strong title contender prepared to battle it out with the thunder in the western conference and heat in the eastern conference. but the injury of nash and the change of coach turned things around. now, the team looks so vulnerable and lacks teamwork. i don't think any trade will do better.

Oh really. How about getting better bench players? I don't know but I'd like them to get a young small forward. World peace is old and is not good offensively.

I don't think trades will happen in Lakerland. The current line-up they have is just like or almost like when Malone and Payton. Anyways, I still believe in them and they are still one of the best teams in NBA right now. Adjustments will be done and hopefully, it will be just in time.

Well, they can still get a small forward because I don't think World Peace is the best one here.

Problem is D-Howard is not playing at his top level, he obviously wants to get traded again. We all know how hard-headed this guy is and he will not play at his best if he thinks something is wrong. He wants to be the leader of Lakers and since he cannot get that, he will play garbage in every game. He is a rebellious person.

I think I believe you. This guy is hard-headed. Why don't he just play defense the way he did when he won the defensive player of the year. Now, he's lazy and has no desire.
