As the Lakers continue to spiral out of playoff contention with their latest loss on Sunday to the Nuggets, former Los Angeles star and current TNT basketball analyst Shaquille O’Neal has seen enough.
O’Neal joined CBS Sports HQ on Sunday and discussed what the Lakers have to do in the offseason to right the ship heading into next season.
“You gotta get rid of expiring contracts“ Shaq told CBS Sports HQ. “You gotta get rid of the projects that didn’t work. And you gotta try to get younger and more athletic around LeBron. Because paper-wise, when everybody did the deals ‘Ooh Westbrook, ooh this and that’ but you know age is a factor. You know [Anthony Davis] was hurt all year. ... But gotta keep him healthy. So you still keep LeBron and AD but then you gotta probably make moves for everyone else.”
