After a handful of disappointing performances, Lakers head coach Luke Walton is considering shaking up his starting lineup. Here are a few moves he could make.

The Los Angeles Lakers bench has been a talking point all season. Their starters, however, have been incredibly underwhelming. It’s for this reason head coach Luke Walton and his staff are considering making changes to the first unit.

“We’ve talked about it,” Walton told reporters on Spectrum Sportsnet. “Maybe we’ll get there soon but we’ll have more discussion about it as we go.”

With playoffs virtually out of the question for the Lakers, Walton will have room to experiment with his young team for the remainder of the season. Here are a few lineup changes we could see before the end of the season.
