These dog days of summer are the time when fans of the Purple and Gold like to lay on the beach and dream about how the Los Angeles Lakers new roster will come together next season and gel into a championship contender.

Lakers fans hopes were shattered in half after the news broke that DeMarcus Cousins tore his ACL in Las Vegas after bumping knees with another player during a workout.
