The Lakers have finally taken action. The newly acquired Smith and Milton will need about 10 games to acclimate with the Lakers. With Russell being traded, the Lakers' starting lineup in the coming games could be Rivers + Christie + James + Hachimura + Davis, or Milton + Rivers + James + Smith + Davis, with Hachimura coming off the bench.

Currently, the Lakers have a record of 18 wins and 13 losses, ranking fifth in the Western Conference!
