If the NBA adheres to LeBron’s requests, we might witness a historical year as he strives to win his fifth ring. The Los Angeles Lakers front office has made some big off-season moves to beef up their roster. They handed out new contracts to the young Lakers core of Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Jarred Vanderbilt, and D’Angelo Russell. And also added new faces to the franchise, including sharpshooter Gabe Vincent.
In addition, they strengthened their wing depth by bringing in Taurean Prince and Cam Reddish. They also bolstered their frontcourt by adding Jaxson Hayes. The recent additions have been cleverly cherry-picked to complement the franchise players – LeBron and Anthony Davis.
