The Lakers have not performed well enough so far this season, and according to Los Angeles Times reporter Dan Woike, the current atmosphere in the Lakers locker room is "not good", and the dialogue between the staff and the players is probably similar to the topic of "there is only one month left", which refers to the rest of the regular season:
There are still many problems in the Lakers at the moment, they are a team that is underperforming on the defensive end, and the team simply cannot have a good enough chemistry in the team. Obviously, this season's Lakers are difficult to expect, which means that what is more important to the Lakers may be to make a move in this offseason.
On the other hand, Timberwolves veteran Patrick Beverly talked about how Lakers guard Westbrook's remarks in 2019 damaged his reputation in the league, and even players and coaches in the league took Westbrook's statement as a fact:
Beverley said in a statement that Westbrook had indeed been injured by his own defense, but he was not the one who was just running around, and that Westbrook's remarks had already had an impact on his career reputation.
Finally, it needs to be discussed that the US media Nick Wright has always been Jamie's identity, and he has repeatedly claimed that LeBron James is the greatest athlete in the history of the league, but even Nick Wright no longer has confidence in this Lakers.
On one show, Nick Wright bluntly said the Lakers, who lost to the Rockets, were "finished" this season:
For now, the Lakers really don't have any momentum to turn the season around, and if they can't play a good enough game, this Lakers may even have the possibility of missing the playoffs, not to mention the chance of competing for the championship.
