Why the Lakers Should Win Their Next Six Games, Plus a Revived Collin Sexton?

The Lakers should have Austin Reaves back on the floor on Wednesday in Milwaukee. Not that it should really matter?

The Bucks are a one-win team on the wrong end of a back-to-back, and might not have leading scorer Tyler Herro to boot.

So even if Quentin Grimes isn't available -- he's questionable with a finger injury -- the Lakers should have more than enough to get a dub against the Bucks. And from there, it's five more games against teams that are sub-.500, or even sub-.150. Just the NBA's worst. So realistically the Lakers ought to enter November 27th's game in San Antonio at 16-2.

One big reason is Walker Kessler. We revisit the idea commonly put out there that the Lakers paid an exorbitant price for his services over the summer. Really? Did they? For a guy who was available for reasons we couldn't really understand?

Meanwhile, the Lakers have signed another two-way center to try and shore up that spot on the roster. Carson Cooper is another guy who played in Memphis for a cup of coffee and an alliterative name. We'll see if it'll pan out.

Same with Collin Sexton, who is showing signs of life!
