The Los Angeles Lakers have made some big moves in the last week, acquiring point guard D’Angelo Russell and several other players to help the team in its push for the playoffs. With the addition of Russell and the other players, the Lakers have a more balanced and dangerous team that is capable of making a deep run in the postseason.
Russell’s return to the Lakers was met with great excitement and enthusiasm by the fans. His presence on the court was felt immediately, as he scored 21 points and dished out seven assists in the team’s 120-102 win over the New Orleans Pelicans at the Crypto.com Arena. He also received a standing ovation from the crowd after draining a three-pointer late in the third quarter.
James was also very pleased with the moves made by the team, praising Russell, Malik Beasley, Jared Vanderbilt, and Mo Bamba for their contributions. He also thanked the players that were traded away, commending them for their commitment to the team and their contributions on the court.
The Lakers have a tough road ahead of them if they want to make the playoffs, but the addition of Russell and the other players have given the team a much-needed boost that could help them make a deep postseason run. With James’ health being a key factor in the team’s success, the Lakers will need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a high level if they want to make it to the playoffs.
The Lakers have the potential to be one of the best teams in the league and the addition of Russell and the other players has given them the tools they need to make a deep postseason run. With the added depth and talent, the Lakers have the potential to be a dangerous team in the playoffs and could be a force to be reckoned with.
