An interesting offseason awaits the Los Angeles Lakers, as the organization has positioned itself to be an active player in free agency when the likes of DeMarcus Cousins, Paul George and LeBron James will all test the open market.
It’s no secret that president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and general Rob Pelinka have a desire to signing a superstar or two this summer to quickly elevate the Lakers back to championship contender status.
The front office’s plan has been noted as early as last offseason, when the new front office made their first significant move in trading Timofey Mozgov and D’Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets as an effort to create salary cap space for the upcoming summer.
