If you follow the NBA, you’re well aware of the problems plaguing the Los Angeles Lakers. 

In fact, their 2021-22 season was nothing short of a disaster. Despite rostering two former MVPs in LeBron James and Russell Westbrook alongside Anthony Davis, the Lakers managed 34 wins. 

There’s plenty of blame to go around. With that said, a far chunk of it falls on Russell Westbrook’s shoulders. His inability to space the floor alongside James made for a clunky fit. Now, many fans expect the Lakers to move Westbrook at some point during the 2022-23 season. 

For that matter, they might. On the other hand, what if the Lakers simply put more spacing around James and Westbrook instead?

All told, they had one of the worst three-point shooting rosters in the NBA last season. Acquiring some well-known snipers could help them maximize Westbrook. 

Snipers like, for example, Seth Curry. Here’s a deal that sends him to Hollywood.
