Lakers Need to Make Major Changes?

Things are broken. That’s blatantly evident after the Lakers’ 106-90 Game 5 loss to the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals Monday, knocking L.A. out of the postseason in the second round for the second straight season.

It’s time to fix them.

Lakers management had the right idea before this lockout-shortened sardine tin of a season began by piecing together a blockbuster deal to ship (Pau) Gasol and Lamar Odom out of town and acquire Chris Paul.

We all know how that turned out.

Time to go back to the drawing board. That means major changes.
