The Los Angeles Lakers trade with the Brooklyn Nets not only created a more favorable cap situation, but also brought former All-Star center, Brook Lopez, back home. Now near his home of North Hollywood, Lopez is set to take over the primary scoring duties from the center position.
Lopez has been basking in the glory since his trade, joining a franchise with a plethora of NBA legends and 16 championship banners. Los Angeles seems to have escaped the negative energy around the franchise with their revamped front office, entering a franchise-changing season.
Los Angeles continues to train and build chemistry at the new UCLA Training Health Center, in lieu of the 2017-18 campaign.
