Among the offseason winners, the Los Angeles Lakers made a bunch of moves including their most notable trade for Anthony Davis. Their first year with #23 wasn’t very successful and they once again missed the playoffs. After a failed attempt at a deadline deal, they finally sent a group of potential stars and the #4 overall pick among others to the New Orleans Pelicans to land the biggest prize in the trade market. They continued their pursuit of a third star though they lost out on the Kawhi Leonard sweepstakes. Instead, Demarcus Cousins will be reuniting with his old teammate from New Orleans.
The Lakers will head into the year with 3 superstar/star level players in their lineups. Lebron James is still one of the best all around players in the league though age may soon play a factor in his game. Anthony Davis is fresh off of drama in his tenure with the Pelicans and is looking for a new start in Los Angeles. After having to carry the team for his whole career, he’ll join up with James to take the burden off. Demarcus Cousins will also join the team after a one year stint with the rival Golden State Warriors.
