It's been more of the same for the purple and gold team in Los Angeles so far to start this season, with the Lakers once again struggling at both sides of the floor slumping to an 0-3 start in the new NBA season.
The Lakers embarrassingly missed the playoffs this season, an unthinkable thought this time last year after they acquired perennial all-star Russell Westbrook to play alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis. However it's a trio that just has not worked, for a multitude of reasons, and continues to look dysfunctional on the floor together.
With the embarrassing losses to the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers and Portland Trailblazers, questions are already being asked about what the Lakers can do to improve in order to give themselves any chance of a successful season.
