An active free agency period headlined by the signing of superstar LeBron James has garnered plenty of intrigue and excitement for the Los Angeles Lakers as the 2018-19 NBA season inches closer.
With a promising young core and the addition of many notable veterans over the summer, the Lakers entered training camp with newfound optimism after enduring five consecutive seasons without a playoff appearance.
To no surprise, James has already emerged as a leader to the Lakers’ young roster. Head coach Luke Walton has taken notice and is noticing the influence he and savvy point guard Rajon Rondo are having on the young core.
