The Los Angeles Lakers are struggling, currently holding a 4-6 record in December and suffering a significant loss to the Houston Rockets.

With the trade deadline approaching, the Lakers must act quickly to improve their roster, despite being aware of their desperate situation and the associated “Laker tax.”
