As Laker fans beg Rob Pelinka to get some shooters on this roster, one of the better shooters who has suited up for the purple and gold in recent memory is ...

It's a tough place to play, it's a tough place to be under that microscope and playing alongside those guys.” Green has some sympathy for the front office’s thought process but made it clear to Beck that the Lakers should have prioritized shooting and defense around their stars instead of an additional playmaker. That this critique is coming from Green, a career 40 percent 3-point shooter and one of the first players to ever receive the 3-and-D designation, is not lost on the listener. I thought there was a lot of good pieces that were good fits for them that they let go or traded away and they thought they had a better fit. Green was asked if he thinks about what has happened to the 2020 title team over the last two years, and his response wasn’t exactly surprising: I think it’s interesting, I mean all the teams that I've played for, you try to see what kind of moves they make, what direction they're going in, and especially if you win a championship there, it's home, you have some type of invested feeling toward that city, toward that group, toward some of the players that are still there, the organization.

Lakers' struggles '92 percent about' Anthony Davis, says Channing ... (New York Post)

The Lakers are still winless after losing to the Timberwolves on Friday night to drop to 0-5 for the franchise's worst start in 65 years.

“Other than LeBron, everyone is on the block,” Frye said. This is 92 percent about A.D. off the team, and just put Russ on that team. This is about A.D. “He’s the youngest. Much of the blame for L.A.’s struggles has fallen on Russell Westbrook, who has proven to be a disastrous fit since the Lakers traded for him last August.

5 things we learned from the Timberwolves' win over the Lakers (Sports Illustrated)

The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night and there were more clues to how this team will look this year. With another monster ...

LeBron James scored 28 points with seven rebounds and five assists, but his supporting cast is crumbling at the seams. We're six games into the season, so we can assume Russell will get comfortable with Gobert in due time and eventually start performing better offensively. The Timberwolves point guard shot just 4-for-15 on the night and 2-for-7 from 3-point range. There are moments where the Timberwolves appear to be forcing looks on Gobert offensively, but that's a work in progress. Towns also finished with eight rebounds and seven assists while backing his transition to power forward after the game. Gobert had another big night for the Timberwolves, putting up 22 points and pulling down 21 rebounds.

LeBron James could make interesting positional switch for Lakers? (Larry Brown Sports)

Dec 9, 2021; Memphis, Tennessee, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (6) warms-up prior to the game against the Memphis Grizzles at FedExForum.

It might not be wise either to rely on James, who is 37 and now in his 20th season in the NBA, as a full-time paint anchor (even if he still seems strong enough to do so). But James was able to log those minutes in part because co-star Anthony Davis missed over half of the season with injury. According to Basketball Reference, roughly 50 percent of James’ minutes came at the center position in 2021-22.

Lakers' Max Christie: Called up by Lakers (CBSSports.com)

The Lakers have re-called Christie from South Bay ahead of Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

He shouldn't see heavy minutes and could be re-assigned to the G-League affiliate rather quickly. The Lakers will have several absences Sunday and are likely to be shorthanded when it comes to depth, but Christie figures to be nothing more than a deep bench alternative while he stays with Los Angeles.
