The Los Angeles Lakers could be a trade away, or maybe two, from truly competing for a title this season.

The Lakers have proven thus far that they are not slouches; in fact, the opposite. As for Thursday, they hold a 15-5 record, which is good for the second seed in the loaded Western Conference. Los Angeles has the star power to compete with the best teams in the league, but it is clear they need to make an upgrade to their depth pieces to make a deep playoff run, and then some, possibly.

LA still has a long way to go, but this massive three-team trade idea could see them make a huge jump in that direction.
