Lakers Top 5 Stories of the 2021 Season So Far

Recapping a ROUGH start to the season for the Lakers.

Let's be completely honest, the Lakers season so far has been a huge disappointment. With an entirely new-look roster coming into the 2021-22 season, Frank Vogel and his team continue to fail to get things done. But on the plus side, we've got some good stories out of the year so far. 

With that, let's take a look at some of the top stories from the Lakers season so far. 

Anthony Davis Slammed By Montrezl Harrell

Remember earlier this year when Montrezl Harrell went after Anthony Davis? When AD got married, Trez was not invited to the wedding. And Harrell would later say that the two don't have that kind of friendship together. Was he joking? Maybe. But we'll never really know. 

LeBron James Open to Former Clipper Patrick Beverly

Can you imagine the Lakers adding in Patrick Beverly? Well, as it turns out, even LeBron James was open to the idea earlier this season. The way things are going, they might need that kind of guy.

If we know anything about the Morris brothers, it's that they're not afraid to speak their minds. Markieff seemed to take some subtle jabs at the Lakers and LeBron James when he headed over to Miami this season. 

LeBron James Is Ejected After Scuffle with Isaiah Stewart

Maybe the hottest Lakers story of the year so far, LeBron James getting into it with Isaiah Stewart was huge. The two went after each other after James elbowed him in the face, and Stewart ran through his own players and coaches trying to get to the star.
