21. Los Angeles Lakers (23-34)

Somehow, the Los Angeles Lakers managed to move Jordan Clarkson for a first-round pick without having to take on any additional salary moving forward, which is huge considering they have huge plans for the summer.

LA will now have two max roster slots this summer, and could actually entertain the possibility of signing both LeBron James and Paul George.

It’s now time for Magic Johnson to earn his salary. All the pieces are lined up for showtime basketball to return to LA.
