For LeBron James' Lakers, there's no Hollywood ending in sight for this horror show

Winless, the only thing scarier than Los Angeles' present is its future

There are two problems right now for the Los Angeles Lakers. The first is how they're currently playing. The second is what comes next.

The present is the most visible and ugly manifestation of what's wrong in Lakerland. This team, as LeBron James has pointed out, is not "constructed of great shooting." 

That's diplomatic, indeed. But there's no getting around what an utter and accurate indictment LeBron's words present to the Lakers' roster and chances this season.
