For the next few days, the Lakers will celebrate being crowned the 2020 NBA Champions. However, once the dust settles, the purple and gold will have a lot of work. They need to either maintain this team to run it back or add a few other pieces to improve their flaws.
Next season there will be a blood bath for the NBA title as the Warriors and Nets will return with their fabulous teams. Along with that, King James will be turning 36, there is a chance he might finally start showing signs of regression.
