The time has come for the Los Angeles Lakers to consider options for reshaping this NBA offseason and building around LeBron James.
In the first season of this new regime, James and Anthony Davis were able to remain healthy and this led to a championship. That was not the case this time around.
The Lakers missed the postseason with a new big three, including Russell Westbrook. This is the reason that Frank Vogel was let go and now, the roster should be shaken up as well.
The same can happen in Atlanta. After a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Hawks fell to the eighth seed in the conference this time around. They were tasked with the Miami Heat in the first round. This was not the season the Hawks were hoping for after a busy offseason of negotiations.
