[LeBron James](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/lebron-james-dxRvkEThnxpMbhcr/) and [Anthony Davis](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/anthony-davis-YhDofdcmUKoYKV18/) flail.

It feels much too early to depose your new coach or make a flurry of trades. They finished the year 17-65. The once-proud Lakers are 0-4 after a 110-99 loss to
