When LeBron James signed a four-year, $154 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency, one of his roles was recruiting a second All-Star player to join him.
As James reportedly was already recruiting Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler back in May, the Lakers eventually traded for Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans.
Although the Lakers have accomplished their goal, there is an opportunity to sign a third All-Star player after they successfully re-established their max-contract slot.
