The NBA season ended just a few weeks ago, but it's been quite a while longer than that since we've seen the Los Angeles Lakers on the court. Last season, the Lakers failed to make the playoffs despite entering the season as the favorites to win the Western Conference. Disappointment is an understatement when it comes to describing the 2021-22 Lakers.
However, with the offseason now here, hope is abundant for a lot of NBA fans. Despite last year's disappointment, it seems like people are once again believing in the Lakers. They've seen their odds shift drastically over just a few weeks and they're one of the more popular early bets to win the 2023 NBA title.
