BEIJING, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- The Lakers had a poor record last season, and the relationship between head coach Vogel and guard Russell - was not handled well. He will be given more power when new head coach Darvin Ham takes over.
According to Athletic reporter Jovan Buha, "As the roster currently stands, I expect the Lakers' finishing lineup to be Davis,, Anderson, Brown and Reeves. Westbrook will be on the roster a lot as well, though it will depend on his shooting, his on-court decisions and his defense. Ham will have more power to decide whether or not to bench Westbrook in key moments, and it may end up that Westbrook is moved out of the starting lineup. Considering his form, Willis may still have an advantage. But he could end up playing with Brown, Nunn or Walker in the starting lineup, depending entirely on their shooting form that night."
While the Lakers have been trying to trade Willis, it's incredibly difficult to send him away considering his $47.06 million dollar contract.
