Where Will the Lakers Strike on the Trade Market?

The Lakers weathered an early storm to sit at 15–9 on the season following a victory over the Spurs on Wednesday night, good for fifth in the West. LeBron and Los Angeles' cast of youngsters and misfits are just two games back of the conference's top seed, and have displayed stronger cohesion early in the year than previously expected. It's hard to imagine the baby Lakers claiming consecutive playoff series, let alone challenging the Warriors.
