13. Los Angeles Lakers (27-26)
Expect the Los Angeles Lakers to get hot over the next few weeks, especially now that LeBron James is officially back. The big question for this team over the next few days is whether or not he’s going to get anymore help.
Will we see make a big move at the NBA Trade Deadline, and will it entail adding a player like Anthony Davis? It’s going to be interesting to see if the Lakers offer every young piece on their roster.
So far, we don’t know what the official offers have been, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Lakers hold out a player like Brandon Ingram and/or Kyle Kuzma, who they really like. Will they go all-in on their pursuit of AD?
