Stephen A. Smith thinks the Lakers should trade LeBron James and everyone thinks he might actually have a point

Alright. I think it’s fair to say that we all think the Lakers are in a pretty dire situation right now.

They just had one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history. On top of that, they’re capped out with three star players on their team all making at least $35 million or more and, clearly, they are not a playoff team. Some drastic changes need to be made to that roster but there aren’t too many vehicles to make them.

They don’t have a ton of salary to ship out with the exception of moving one of their stars and, obviously, Russell Westbrook is the guy they’re looking to move at this point but that’s so hard to do after his disappointing season this year.
