It was quite a busy offseason for the Los Angeles Lakers following an early exit in the first round of the playoffs.
Despite experiencing some significant turnover to the roster, expectations were as high as ever for the Purple and Gold coming off their title run in the 2019-20 season. Unfortunately, injuries to both LeBron James and Anthony Davis toward the end of the year made it evident that changes needed to be made to their supporting cast.
Rob Pelinka wasted no time in providing his solution with the blockbuster acquisition of Russell Westbrook. What came after was a reunion of epic proportions as they filled out the rest of the roster with former Lakers and other high-profile players at a bargain price.
