The Los Angeles Lakers season has been filled with plenty of ups and downs throughout, but the team feels like they may be turning a corner. They have played much better over the last few weeks, but are still expected to be active at the upcoming trade deadline.

The team has run through multiple lineup changes all season long, which has led to some frustration among players. However, they have settled on a more consistent lineup, and it has seemed to work wonders for the team.

tar forward LeBron James opened up about the new lineup and how it has helped the team work out the kinks in the rotation.

“The good thing Coach Ham did was (say), ‘This is the lineup we’re sticking with and we’re going to go with that,’” LeBron James said. “And the rotations have been good. Our starting lineup has been consistent over the last few games. And we have a lot of playmaking, a lot of shot-making in that first unit. And we’ve got guys that come off the bench that know their roles and come in and play at a high level. “It’s been working so far.”

The key for any player is to understand their role and thrive within it. With different injuries and attempts to change things up, the Lakers coaching staff has caused some issues with lineup changes. But maybe they have finally figured things out, and James’ seems happy about it.

“We’re just playing the right way, you know? Just playing the right way,” James said. “Guys are feeling comfortable, feeling very comfortable out there. We’ve got guys that can make shots, we’ve got guys that can make plays.”

The Lakers entered the season with high expectations to be one of the better teams in the NBA. It hasn’t worked out that way so far, but there is plenty of time left to change the narrative for themselves.
