Since beginning a three-game losing streak in early November, the Los Angeles Lakers have won 12 of their previous 17 games and four of their previous five games. In that time, they have not suffered back-to-back losses in games.
However, Sam Vecenie of The Athletic is not persuaded by their impressive start and thinks Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors could be the solution given there is still space for improvement on the roster.
“All the Lakers need is another ball handler and a starting wing.” On the “Game Theory” podcast on December 14, Vecenie stated, “I think they just need… stuff on the perimeter.” “Klay is running out of time. What market does Klay Thompson serve? The Lakers would most likely be interested, in my opinion. Though I’m not sure, I believe that.
Thompson is averaging 15.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists going into the Warriors’ matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. He is shooting a career-worst 34.3% from beyond the arc. Thompson only set his previous career low of 38.4% during the previous season.
