Despite the fact that LeBron James is on the wrong side of his 30s, there’s no denying that the Los Angeles Lakers superstar still remains to be one of the top players in the game today.

The Los Angeles Lakers (23-26, 13th) have been making slight headway in the Western Conference, but could still use some help on the perimeter.

For the second game in a row, late-game execution was a problem for the Boston Celtics.

The Los Angeles Lakers addressed an area of need (in theory) by trading for Rui Hachimura on Monday — kicking off the NBA’s unofficial trade season and hopefully jump-starting the market ahead of the Feb. 9 deadline.
