The Lakers had a blowout loss to the Suns, what they need at the trade deadline

The Phoenix Suns gave a reality check to the Lakers to snap their two-game winning streak and showed the many deficiencies the team has that need to be addressed by the trade deadline if they want to turn the season around.

In another forgettable night by LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Austin Reaves, the Lakers suffered a blowout loss to the Phoenix Suns and coach Darvin Ham remains the main responsible for the growing downfall.

The Lakers front office has shown their support for coach Darvin Ham but if the team needs to win that should happen. In case Ham stays on the team, and that's how things are looking it will be, the organization needs to make a big move in the trade deadline.

Chris Haynes on what the Lakers are looking for ahead of the trade deadline: “They’re looking for speed in the backcourt.” That need could happen if the Lakers pursue the guard Zach LaVine.
