The Los Angeles Lakers have built an excellent roster heading into the 2023-24 season that many fans believe is good enough to win the NBA Championship. After making it to the Western Conference Finals last season, the Lake Show has undoubtedly gotten better.
Many view this as a “Last Dance” type of season for the purple and gold. LeBron James is only getting older and he has a player option after this season. LeBron himself has all but confirmed that he will leave the Lakers if his son, Bronny James, is drafted by another team.
With the New Orleans Pelicans having the ability to take either the Lakers’ 2024 or 2025 first-round pick, the team has no control over whether or not it can promise LeBron that Bronny will stay in LA.
