The Los Angeles Lakers will be major players in free agency this offseason, as they were able to pull off a big trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers in order to secure enough cap space to pursue two max free agents this offseason.
Ironically, the Lakers will certainly be trying to pry LeBron James from the team that gave the Lakers the ability to have the cap space to sign him. While recruiting James to leave his hometown team that is a contender every season in the Eastern Conference will be difficult, the Lakers will be attempting to do so.
