Washington Wizards record versus Los Angeles Lakers last season: 1-1
After a disappointing season by all accounts, the Los Angeles Lakers decided to make a franchise-altering move in the offseason. Considering many people assumed it would happen months earlier, it wasn’t all that surprising.
Regardless, the Lakers made the biggest trade of the offseason when they sent Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, Brandon Ingram, and draft picks to the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Anthony Davis. It’s a move that rocked the Western Conference and has the Lakers back amongst the best teams in the NBA.
