Summary

Robert Horry emphasized the need for the Los Angeles Lakers to build a competitive roster during an appearance on ESPN L.A. radio. He noted that the team must find capable players to contend with the current Western Conference leaders, the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder. Horry pointed out that the Lakers should focus on acquiring a tall defensive player to counteract Victor Wembanyama and also acquire dynamic two-way wings to match up against excellent guards in the league.
