The Los Angeles Lakers may be in win-now mode, but they’re also in position to develop young players with an eye on the future.
They have become considerably younger over the last several months. They jettisoned multiple players in their 30s in trades that have netted them Rui Hachimura, D’Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley and Mo Bamba, all of whom are 27 or younger.
