When LeBron James joined the Los Angeles Lakers over the summer, it was just the first step in the team’s road back to title contention.
President of basketball operations Magic Johnson said the team was “back” but would be “back back” in the summer of 2019, and given his success bringing in his first star, there is little reason to doubt that Johnson can bring in a second.
Because let’s be real: If Johnson could sell James to sign with a rebuilding Lakers team, selling another star on joining forces with James in Los Angeles should be easy.
