Lakers' big free-agent question: Superstar or multiple role players?

The Los Angeles Lakers now have max-level cap room in NBA free agency. How should they spend it?

With the Washington Wizards agreeing to join the Lakers' deal with the New Orleans Pelicans for Anthony Davis -- as reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Zach Lowe and Bobby Marks -- L.A. can now complete it as an over-the-cap team after using more than $30 million in cap space rather than needing to use part of their room to facilitate the trade. That means an extra $8-9 million in spending power for the Lakers.
