The Los Angeles Lakers will seemingly have to spend the entirety of the 2019-20 NBA season convincing people they’re better than the Los Angeles Clippers as prevailing opinion holds the latter are simply the best team in basketball.
And now, the NBA’s annual GM Survey says they may have to prove they’re better than the Milwaukee Bucks as well.
The Lakers, Bucks, and Clippers are all teams with serious championship aspirations this season, all taking completely different paths to get there.
The Bucks are — for the most part — running it back from last season’s team that lost to Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals.
