The Los Angeles Lakers went from potential NBA Championship contenders to early offseason participants in the blink of an eye.
Despite having the crypto.com Arena crowd's support, the Lakers couldn't keep their playoff dreams alive as they fell 103-96 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5. It was a humbling elimination for the Lakers, who have plenty of needs general manager Rob Pelinka can't afford to ignore this summer.
Change is a two-sided coin, though, meaning Los Angeles must get rid of various veterans to make room for incoming reinforcements. When it comes to those who could be moved this offseason, one Lakers guard likely sealed his fate with a forgettable Game 5 performance.
