There are just no two ways about it: the Los Angeles Lakers are really bad. There has been some encouragement of late, particularly on the Russell Westbrook front and his rather surprising decision to embrace his role as a Sixth Man, but the harsh reality for LeBron James and Co. is that at 2-9, they remain to be one of the worst teams in the NBA right now.

Major change still need to happen for this team to significantly improve this season. This might come in the form of Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal, who is reportedly still a trade target for LA. This comes via Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report.
