Here is all the recent Los Angeles Lakers news you need to know, including trade predictions for a much-needed center.

After a bad first half on defense, coach JJ Redick challenged the Lakers, who rallied to beat Miami and end a three-game losing streak.

Redick has challenged the Lakers ever since he took the job as head coach. There's been a level of accountability, transparency, and consistency throughout this season. So far, that method has paid off. They sit at the No. 6 seed right now with a 21-17 record. Los Angeles has had some bumps in the road, as all teams do.
