For the past five years the Los Angeles Lakers have been at the bottom of the NBA relevancy scale. The team hasn’t made the playoffs since 2013, and at one point were the laughing stock of the NBA.
All of that changed when the best player in the world, LeBron James, decided to take his talents to Hollywood and play for the Lakers.
After the move, the Lakers made other smaller moves like re-signing Kentavious Caldwell Pope and signing Rajon Rondo, JaVale McGee, and Lance Stephenson all to one-year deals.
However, I feel that recently their has been a lot of negativity and criticism in the basketball media pertaining to the Lakers.
