The Lakers are relying on a mix of veterans and young prospects to round out the rotation and provide meaningful minutes to a championship contender, which may not be the best recipe for a team consisting of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

The NBA trade deadline is in 15 days and the Los Angeles Lakers continue to be mired in mediocrity.At 23-18, the Lakers enter Wednesday in sixth place in the Western Conference and just one game ahead of the Dallas Mavericks (23-20) for the final non-Play-In Tournament spot in the playoff picture.

Redick has challenged the Lakers ever since he took the job as head coach. There's been a level of accountability, transparency, and consistency throughout this season. So far, that method has paid off. They sit at the No. 6 seed right now with a 21-17 record. Los Angeles has had some bumps in the road, as all teams do.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and head coach JJ Redick discussed the team's professionalism against the Washington Wizards.

The Los Angeles Lakers are a good team, but they don’t have as many stars as other Western Conference contenders. The trade deadline is just a couple of weeks away, and they could use it to bolster their roster.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis urge the Lakers to make impactful moves before the trade deadline to secure their championship window.

The Los Angeles Lakers will likely have their superstar big man Anthony Davis on the court against the lowly Washington Wizards. Davis' status has been upgraded from questionable to probable ahead of tonight's matchup.
