Will the Lakers make a trade to upgrade the roster? The time is now to decide

New York Times  

After a league-worst 2-10 start, the Los Angeles Lakers have quietly rebounded to win five of their past six games. The Lakers collected wins against the Spurs, Detroit Pistons and Brooklyn Nets, though it’s also worth noting James missed five games and Davis missed one during that span. It’s also the day the Lakers are targeting to begin exploring roster upgrades via trade, league sources tell The Athletic. The Lakers players and coaching staff have done their part recently, winning games they’re supposed to win to nudge the team closer to.500. Once there, with James, Davis and upgrades like Hield, Turner, and/or others, it’s easy to envision the Lakers having at least a puncher’s chance to make some noise in the playoffs.
