Coming into the 2018-19 season, expectations are much higher than they have been in recent years for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Due to the addition of LeBron James as a free agent this offseason, the Lakers are going to be a much different team than last season. With a player the caliber of James joining the team, getting used to playing with him can take some time.
In addition to James signing with the Lakers, they also added some other new faces that will need to be integrated into the lineup. Getting rotations and lineups that work well together will be one of the biggest challenges for Luke Walton this season.
