Los Angeles Lakers were an incredible team during the Kobe Bryant era. They were able to reach the playoffs in 16 of Bryant's initial 17 seasons, winning five NBA Championships en route. However, when he endured different wounds, constraining him to miss 139 out of 246 games, the Lakers did not make the playoffs for three straight seasons.
Reports claim that since the Black Mamba is officially resigned from playing, it would seem that the Lakers will proceed with its playoff dry spell this season. Subsequent to beginning the season at 10-10 in their initial 20 games, they now lost 23 of their last 29 games. At 16-33 win-loss record, they are currently the worst team in the Western Conference, reports Tv Solm.
During the beginning of the season, reports were that the Lakers might need to redesign their program since they are pursuing for a playoff spot in the West. Since the NBA season is mostly completed, it would appear that the Lakers' playoff expectations are gradually scattering.
Reports added that Lakers at this key moment are in search of trading some of its key players for a lottery pick. Also, as indicated by Basketball Insiders, the Lakers could give away Lou Williams to the Sacramento Kings, reports Hoops Hype.
At 18-27 win-loss record, the Kings are at present at the tenth spot in the West. They are only 1.5 games behind the eighth place Denver Nuggets and achieving the playoffs is especially conceivable. However, sources claim that the team is lead by All-Star focus DeMarcus Cousins, who is one of the best centers in the NBA at this moment.
Sources say that in spite of the fact that Williams is a tiny bit old, it is obvious that he is as yet a decent scorer. Furthermore, with the Kings having a 10-year playoffs dry spell, reports say that they have to accomplish something to overhaul their list so they could have a superior possibility in achieving the playoffs this season.
