Lakers have to make a plan as they aren’t winning any title in this season.

The chances of the Los Angeles Lakers winning an NBA title this season are extremely slim. While there is always a remote possibility of success with the combination of LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the roster, statistical projections indicate that it is highly unlikely. Basketball-Reference projections give the Lakers a 0% chance of winning the championship and an 11.4% chance of missing the play-in tournament.

As the season concludes for the Lakers, they will need to regroup and strategize for the future in order to give their aging yet still dominant stars another opportunity to contend for the championship. One aspect they may need to address is the lead guard position. While they have shown interest in D’Angelo Russell, they have reservations about his fit within the team due to defensive limitations and the need to prioritize touches for James and Davis.LOS ANGELES, CA - MARCH 18:  D'Angelo Russell #1 of the Los Angeles Lakers handles the ball during the game  on March 18, 2024 at Crypto.Com Arena in Los Angeles, California.

Improving three-point shooting is another area that requires attention, as the Lakers currently rank low in both volume and attempts from beyond the arc. Adding a player with a reliable jumper will be crucial for enhancing spacing around James and Davis.LOS ANGELES, CA - FEBRUARY 29: LeBron James #23 and Head Coach Darvin Ham of the Los Angeles Lakers look on during the game against the Washington Wizards on February 29, 2024 at Crypto.Com Arena in Los Angeles, California.

During the recent trade deadline, the Lakers chose to hold onto their assets and wait for the offseason when they will have more flexibility to make moves. This decision was made with the intention of exploring trade opportunities with the additional draft picks they will possess. It remаins to be seen whether the Lakers will actively pursue trades and make the necessary upgrades to reestablish themselves as contenders.

In summary, the Lakers face an uphill bаttle in their quest for an NBA title this season, and they will need to make strategic moves during the offseason to bolster their chances of returning to championship contention.
