The Los Angeles Lakers hope that they have found a future star in Lonzo Ball, but they know that it’s going to take more than just him to put the team back into contention.
With that in mind, Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka have gone to great lengths to free up cap space for next summer, when superstar players like LeBron James, Paul George, and DeMarcus Cousins will be available in free agency.
For Ball, who grew up idolizing James, playing alongside his favorite player would be a dream come true. He’s just at the dawn of his NBA career and Ball still has a lot to learn.
