The first season of the LeBron James era in Los Angeles was everything but a Hollywood scripted fairy tale, and if it was, it was written and directed by Tommy Wiseau.
Last season, James missed the NBA Playoffs for the first time since the 2005-06 season, which put an end to his 13-year playoff streak and his eight-year Finals streak, both of which were the longest active streaks in the league.
The Lakers’ underwhelming 2018-19 season can be attributed to a few things, including, but not limited to, the way they constructed the roster around James in free agency, and how they handled trade talks for Anthony Davis.
