By Jason Reed
Lakers rumors are the hottest things surrounding the team nowadays. According to our Lakers rumors, which superstar would add the most wins next season?
The Lakers need a superstar, that is for certain. The storied, rich history of the franchise has always seemingly included a superstar, and now, that does not seem to be the case. Sure, they have the likes of Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle, and D’Angelo Russell that could blossom into stars. However, the franchise desperately needs an established star, and they need one now.
We did an article of this exact same nature a little over a week ago, analyzing the effects of Lonzo Ball, Paul George, and Blake Griffin. If you want to check out the results for those three players you can find it here.
In this continuation of the series, we are analyzing the effects of three other stars: Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, and Gordon Hayward. Hayward is the most likely of the trio to land in Los Angeles, however, both Paul and Anthony have been somewhat tied to the Lakers. As we should know by now, if there is a chance, then we should never rule it out.
It will be interesting to see how each player fits into this Lakers team. Chris Paul is an established leader that wants win now, so his inclusion on a young squad is interesting. Carmelo Anthony is a superstar on the decline that seemingly does not care about winning while playing in New York. Then there is Gordon Hayward, who is still young and developing into superstar caliber.
To perform this simulation we are using the very popular NBA 2K series. According to the simulation, which of these stars adds the most wins next year?
