Opportunity: The end of the Warriors dynasty
This NBA off-season saw the departure of Kevin Durant from the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors also lost Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston and Quinn Cook who all played a very crucial role in their championship pursuits. The NBA no longer has a clear-cut favourite for the title.
The Lakers have a very good supporting cast and look like a top bet for the ring. GM Rob Pelinka has already made a statement that anything short of a championship will be poor for the Lakers this season. Anthony Davis also openly expressed about the possibility of winning with this roster.
LeBron James has a history of taking teams to NBA finals. With another superstar alongside him in Anthony Davis, the Lakers will be a must-watch team in the NBA next season.
