Buckle up, NBA fans. The next super team could form in Los Angeles in 2018.
According to separate reports, the Lakers could be the next team to go from also-ran to the talk of the NBA using free agency and the acquisition of superstars.
The big names in the mix for the Lakers next summer: LeBron James, Paul George and Russell Westbrook.
Landing one would be big. Two would change the franchise. But landing all three would change the landscape of the sport.
While dots have connected LeBron James to Los Angeles for months, the latest report is the most concrete any NBA insider has been on the subject.
