For the sixth consecutive season, the Los Angeles Lakers are expected to miss the NBA playoffs despite the fact that they signed 15-time All-Star and four-time league MVP LeBron James, who hasn’t missed the playoffs since the first “Cars” movie was released.
There have been two “Cars” movies since.
Their underwhelming season can be partially attributed to the number of injuries the Lakers have had to battle through this year, but a lot of the blame should also fall on the front office tandem of president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and general manager Rob Pelinka.
