Lakers Fans Are In Shambles After Embarrassing 37 Point Loss To Nuggets: "Trade The Whole Team."

With over half of the games clocked in for the Lakers, many fans expected the team to be in better shape by now. Surely, folks thought, some time and practice will be all the team needs to get their act together

Unfortunately, that hasn't proven to be the case so far. If anything, things have only gotten worse as the weeks have gone by.

With the spring quickly approaching, fans are starting to come to terms with the idea that the Lakers, as presently constructed, are a fringe playoff team at best and that no real success will be had until significant changes are made to the roster. They've apparently already been sniffing around for a deal.

The Lakers have little trade flexibility, but that hasn't stopped Los Angeles from exploring various potential deals. Rob Pelinka's front office has only Talen Horton-Tucker and Kendrick Nunn as non-minimum players with tangible trade value, and that combination won't be nearly enough to land Grant or Turner. But the Lakers have called rival teams to assess the trade value of DeAndre Jordan, Dwight Howard and Kent Bazemore, sources said.

The question is, what more can Rob Pelinka do? Russell Westbrook is not likely to be moved and none of their other players are enough to get someone who will move the needle.

Needless to say, righting the ship will not be an easy task for the team. At 21-22 on the season, they have fallen under the .500 mark once again and this latest loss could be a sign of what is to come.
