No doubt it wasn’t the season the shippers had hoped to have yet. At 17-21, the team is 12th in the West and eight games out of first place. There was a point in this season when Anthony Davis looked like an MVP candidate and the injury derailed that season. The Lakers are desperate for some depth in their forward talent and are reportedly bringing in DeMarcus Cousins for a workout.
Cousins is an 11-year NBA veteran and last played for the Denver Nuggets last season averaging 9/6/2. Despite the possibility of Davis’ return in the next week or so, the Lakers could still use some veteran depth from a center like Cousins.
California sports betting sites have the Lakers at (+3300) to win the Finals this season.
A home team takes care of the business. #LakersWin
