LeBron James, Los Angeles Laker.
It’s a strange thing to consider, but the Chosen One chose L.A., so that’s the reality every team in the league must deal with next season. The Lakers roster is far from set, and there are still well-sourced rumblings that Kawhi Leonard will join him there — if not this summer, then at the trade deadline or as a free agent this time next year.
Even if the Spurs star doesn’t immediately land in L.A., James’s decision to join the Lakers tilts the balance of power in the NBA even further towards the Western Conference.
