No one explained the Lakers' flaws better than LeBron James entering this season

It's hard to remember exactly when it sunk in that the Los Angeles Lakers were flawed beyond repair this season.

Maybe it was Russell Westbrook opening the season 15 for 43 from the field, or Anthony Davis' first significant injury, or their midseason slide, or Davis' second significant injury, or when they got their entire Big 3 back and still lost to the New Orleans Pelicans.

A team with an NBA-record 57 All-Star selections on its roster entering the season and just a season removed from a championship isn't supposed to be this bad, especially when it has LeBron James.
