They have a below 500 record and losing many straight in a row. There might be one thing that is holding them back from greatness. It might be Russell Westbrook or it might be something behind that scenes. Russell Westbrook has many things going on in his life, for example, if he is a good fit for the Lakers.\u00a0 I took a poll my class, which has 21 students and not one of them\u00a0think he is a good fit\u00a0anymore. He scores 18.3 points per game which is 7 points lower than last season. Is Lebron going to go back to Cleveland? I don\u2019t have an answer for that but I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he did at this point. Frank Vogel gets a lot of money but I do not think that he is the best fit because he does not know how to handle the new team well. Since AD gets injured a lot. He might be causing confusion off the count which might be causing the Lakers to fumble. Rob Pelinka is making the wrong trades right now which is messing up the chemistry. One season we have a championship team, and now we have a team that just might make the playoffs. Unfortunately the Tune Squad is not a place for LeBron to go because if he doesn\u2019t beat AL G Rhythm he won\u2019t be able to come back. The Lakers might have a better time trading AD because they will save a lot of money and he will get injured some other place. They\u00a0are 10-11 with Anthony Davis. And without Lebron they are 6-11.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/library.sportingnews.com\/styles\/amp_lead_image_16_9\/s3\/2021-10\/lakers-ad-russ-melo-lebron_109fpenkm3qxg1su5bygmyp9q7.jpeg?itok=NevzuWK8\" alt=\"lakers-ad-russ-melo-lebron_109fpenkm3qxg1su5bygmyp9q7.jpeg (1280\u00d7720)\" width=\"590\" height=\"332\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Charles<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should the Lakers rebuild for the second time in 2 years?
