The Los Angeles Lakers will have a mountain of cap space at their disposal this summer, which could allow them to quickly re-shape their roster heading into next season. With names like Paul George and LeBron James on the market, it will be up to Lakers president of basketball operations Magic Johnson to sell them on joining his beloved franchise.
Of course, for the time being, Johnson has to be careful that he stays within the NBA’s stringent guidelines regarding tampering. The Lakers faced controversy already this season when they were fined last August for general manager Rob Pelinka’s contact with George’s agent.
