When the Los Angeles Lakers signed LeBron James in free agency, it solidified the vision president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and general manager Rob Pelinka outlined.
After rebuilding through the NBA Draft, the Lakers eventually established a talented young core that was enough to lure the game’s best player in the first of a two-year window to make a splash in free agency.
With $38 million in salary cap space for 2019 free agency which should feature Kevin Durant, among others, the hope within the organization is another All-Star player will join James and the young Lakers.
