James joins the Lakers after Chris Paul signed with the Houston Rockets and Paul George signed with the Oklahoma City Thunder. While the Lakers will not land either player, they have been connected to DeMarcus Cousins.
James has reportedly already made calls to players to see who wants to join him, so it should only be a matter of time before another superstar suits up alongside him in the purple and gold.
Los Angeles already boasted a core of promising, young players with Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball. While Ball’s torn meniscus will prevent him from being traded, the Lakers possess the young talent to go after almost any top player that becomes available.
