The Los Angeles Lakers avoided doing anything drastic this summer. There was a path where the Lakers could have spiced it up, made a big move, and went all-in with a third star. Some fans wanted that to happen, but most are happy with what the team did instead.
Los Angeles brought back last year’s core that led the team to the Western Conference Finals. Not only did the team keep the core intact but the front office was able to make savvy additions as well to make the roster even better. This is the most talented and deepest the roster has been since the 2020-21 season.
