The Los Angeles Lakers will spend the next few months trying to upgrade their roster before the start of training camp in September. It is an offseason that promises to be a nail-biting, entertaining, roller coaster ride with an entirely unpredictable ending.
With the team’s fate in the hands of Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka for the first time, the fun begins on May 16 with the NBA Draft Lottery which will determine if the Lakers get to keep their top-three protected pick in the draft or whether their first selection will not come until late in the first round.
