The Los Angeles Lakers have been under fire for a while now. Things have not gone well in recent years, as they missed the playoffs for a sixth straight year this season. Front office disarray and coaching staff changes have caused even more fodder for people to trash the Lakers. However, the Lakers could now be getting the last laugh.
Los Angeles already pulled off a big trade this offseason, landing Anthony Davis in an agreed-upon deal with the New Orleans Pelicans. It cost the Lakers a lot, but they didn’t clear enough cap space to have a max salary slot available.
