The Los Angeles Lakers managed to come out on top in the NBA bubble— winning a championship with Anthony Davis and LeBron James leading the way. Now, the team will aim to defend its title.
It has already been a busy offseason for the Lakers— starting with a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder featuring Dennis Schroder. Perhaps most fascinating of all was the surprise signing of Montrezl Harrell in free agency after his departure from the Los Angeles Clippers.
