The Los Angeles Lakers are the most different NBA team heading into the 2018-2019 season and will be the most entertaining to watch as well.

The Los Angeles Lakers came through on the anticipation that has been built up the last five seasons as the team has been plagued to the NBA Draft Lottery. The front office led by Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka came through and delivered Laker fans the superstar that had alluded the Lakers since Kobe Bryant‘s downfall.

The Los Angeles Lakers, after over a year of speculation, signed LeBron James to a four-year deal to be the face of the franchise moving forward. While some fans hate this move for whatever reason, it is obvious that James is going to have a huge impact and put the Lakers’ back at the NBA forefront.

However, it was not as perfect as everyone seemed to draw it up as the Lakers were unable to land a second superstar. The second superstar, in particular, that alluded the Lakers was Paul George; who opted to re-sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder despite being knocked out of the playoffs in the first series last season.

Still, the Lakers front office has set the team up in such a way that it will still be flexible for future big moves next offseason as well as potential trades during this season. While that does not guarantee anything, the chances of landing another star are high with James.

Despite all of this promise, the Los Angeles Lakers have been a tad overlooked by the NBA community. Not only are the Lakers going to outperform everyone’s expectations, the team will also be the most entertaining team to watch in the NBA.
