Great read again Trevor. This Lakers team defensively are really impressive so far, the shooting though is historically bad (20+ years I heard you say?). There should be a ‘progression to the mean’ from some players like Pat Bev hopefully.

With the trade front, we surely need a minimum of 3, maybe 4-5 players via including Wenyen & Nunn (regrettably). Any combination of Richardson, McDermott, Hield, Turner, Theis, Beasley, Clarkson, Gay, Crowder. Hield alone doesn’t solve the shooting issue. What would be your optimum return from a Russ deal Trev?

Great piece, as expected, Trevor. I was really pulling for Chris Mihm in the post-Shaq era. Unfortunately, I've never seen someone pick up fouls that effortlessly (and I watched Elden Campbell).

One thing getting overlooked is how much the Lakers are losing the rebounding battle. It hasn't even been close. Not sure why. If they are going to shoot poorly, they will need the extra possessions.
