Lakers Season Preview
Last Season the lakers made a huge charge towards the playoffs by winning 9 games straight but just fell short by a game so this year the lakers hope they might be able to sneak in but the western conference has just gotten harder with some other teams making moves such a Memphis strong draft and the blazers making some moves it sure will be a hell of a season .The Big Moves
-Lakers send Alexander Vezenkov , Luke Kennard and rights to Julian Moore for Dante Exum
Stockton had been after Exum for ages and he will be a good fit next to bowman and im not worried if he takes shots away from bowman its about the fit and defense plus Exums expiring contract helps the lakers financials thou its expected the lakers will try and keep the fellow aussie.
-Lakers send Julius Randle ,1st LAL 30’ (top-5 protected) and 2nd NYK 28’ for Jordan Bell and 2nd IND 29
A risky Move for the lakers and even thou they wanted more out of the deal amongst the heated exchanges and many attempted solutions the lakers took Jordan Bell who will be a strong rebounder the lakers needed to back up Rui and this gives the lakers bench a strong unit but the question mark is where will be the lakers in 2030 .
The Lakers team
Starting Five : Bowman , Exum, Birsen , Rui , Collins
Bench : Clarkson , Babb , Kostas , Bell , Melli
Others: Fall , Phillips, Doyle ,Morris , Green
The Rookies :
Babb, Phillips and Morris
Babb is expected to recieve the most time out of all the rookies and he will be the backup to exum this year as for morris and phillips they will get some time but that depends on injuries and if phillips can be a third string pg.
The Expected Season
The lakers are hoping with the additions of exum and bell they can make a push to the playoffs and hopefully sneak in as its been along time since Stockton made the playoffs ( first year with the knicks ) but as said the pacific is going to be a bloodbath and many teams making moves in the western conference.
