They’ll give you a car (Lambo) if you give them that specific card that you pulled while streaming on their platform. Not that hard to understand.

How is LeBron preparing for next season?
LeBron James had one of his greatest seasons as a player. He averaged over 30 PPG and had the best year for a player in year 19. But that counted for nothing as his team, the Los Angeles Lakers failed to even make the playoffs. Despite having Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis, the Lakers just failed to click as a unit due to multiple reasons.

So when the Lakers missed the playoffs, LeBron James promised the fans that this will never happen again. James is already back in the lab preparing himself and getting stronger day by day. He also recently returned to the Drew League for the first time since 2011.

But the problem with the Lakers goes beyond LeBron James. They have tried to trade Russell Westbrook but have found no suitors for him yet. And it seems like, they are going to stick with him for next season. The Lakes have signed a few young talents but their squad is arguably not nearly good enough to contend for the title. With LeBron James at his best, the Lakers will need to build a squad to challenge for the title.
How will the Lakers fare next season? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
