Plenty of Lakers fans will be happy with the latest change head coach JJ Redick has made to the team's starting lineup.

Playing short-handed following a third consecutive loss the night before, the Lakers lean into offense with Knecht replacing Cam Reddish on Wednesday night in San Antonio.

Giving up 127 points in back-to-back games, the Lakers followed their 25-point loss to the Denver Nuggets with a 27-point loss in Phoenix. Speaking with reporters after the game, Lakers head coach JJ Redick said big changes could be coming.

The Lakers, who are now on a three-game losing streak, are one of the NBA's worst defensive teams, and they must do something about it right now.

With the Lakers getting blown out in multiple games and looking bad defensively, JJ Redick admits changes might be needed.

The Los Angeles Lakers dropped their third straight game on Tuesday evening to the Phoenix Suns. Los Angeles kept the game close in the first half but found themselves getting blown off the court once the second half got going.

JJ Redick may be digging through his old contacts list to help the Los Angeles Lakers improve. During a recent X broadcast, Lakers writer Anthony Irwin of ClutchPoints reported that the Lakers have expressed trade interest in forward Dorian Finney-Smith of the Brooklyn Nets.
