The biggest roster decision Lakers must make before deadline is whether to trade for starting or backup 5.
Pros for starting 5 is it allows AD to play 4 & frees up AD to roam on O & D. Cons are it forces LBJ to play 3.
WK, RW, MT, NV w/b starters. JV, DRS, NR w/b backups. https://t.co/wXxEHu7Csw pic.twitter.com/SbUwLxyfag
