The Los Angeles Lakers’ summer has been headlined by signing LeBron James. However, the team as a whole looks drastically different.

TheLos Angeles Lakersare arguably the most changed team of the 2018 NBA offseason. Not only did the Los Angeles Lakers win theLeBron Jamessweepstakes, they have made a slew of other moves that have changed the entire outlook of the team from last season.

The Lakers have brought inLance Stephenson,JaVale McGeeandRajon Rondoto provide a veteran presence off the bench for LA. What makes these deals tolerable is the fact that each one is a one-year deal. Los Angeles is obviously planning for something big next offseason as well.

Magic Johnsonand Rob Pelinka also brought backKentavious Caldwell-Popeon a one-year, $12 million contract. Caldwell-Pope likely got the one-year deal and nice payday due to being a Klutch Sports Group client; which is the same agency that LeBron is represented by.

WithJulius Randlesigning with the New Orleans Pelicans, the team’s young core took a slight hit. However, no fan is going to complain about LeBron James replacing Julius Randle. That would be absurd.

With all of these changes, the Lakers’ true rotation next season is still up for question. Many different people have proposed different rotations that the Lakers should run. We, of course, also have an input in the matter.

With that being said, let’s take a look at the rotation we think best suits the Los Angeles Lakers next season.
