Playing 10 minutes with 0 points and 0 assists, the Lakers failed to make another signing, and it is difficult to compete for the championship this season

Today, the Lakers sat at home to face the Hornets, and in the end they reaped a loss, losing to the Hornets by three points at home. Doncic still didn't perform well in this game, scoring only 14 points on 5-of-18 shooting from beyond the three-point line, while James still delivered a very good performance, with 26 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists in the game. After Doncic joined the Lakers, many Lakers fans were very excited that they had gained a future leader. Even many fans believe that the Lakers have a good chance of competing for a championship this season, and they are sworn by the current Lakers roster.

After bringing in Doncic, the Lakers knew that the weaknesses on the interior needed to be filled. So they brought in Ryan. However, after Ryan joined the Lakers, his performance was not particularly impressive. He didn't shoot a shot and grabbed just one rebound in 10 minutes of playing time today. On the court, both offensively and defensively, it is not very effective. It's impossible to get Ryan to replace Davis's role before. Not to mention letting him go to the playoffs against Jokic. So at present, the Lakers' interior line is still very weak, and Ryan's recruitment has basically failed. Hayes is also not a very defensive player, and he is also not good at protecting the rim.

The interior combination of Hayes and Ryan can't stand up to many of the league's best teams. So at the moment, the Lakers are a very weak team on the inside. It's basically impossible to rely on such a weak interior to build an advantage in the playoffs. In the past, when they had Davis, Davis was a big deal on the inside, able to score and protect the frame, both offensive and defensive. But at present, they have lost a figure who can be described as a needle in the sea in order to get Doncic. They are bound to pay the price.

Now for the Lakers, they may have some worries, as Doncic seems to be in a noticeable difference from previous seasons. He's getting fatter, he's extremely undisciplined, and he's getting worse and worse, and if his form has been slumping, then whether the Lakers were right or wrong to trade Davis for Doncic may still be worth re-judging. I wonder what the fans think?
