It’s been a wild two months for Los Angeles Lakers fans.
After the Purple and Gold squeezed themselves into the play-in, they managed to take down a red-hot Zion Williamson and his New Orleans Pelicans. However, the team’s abysmal performance in the playoffs cost Darvin Ham his job and uncertainty regarding LeBron James’ future with the Purple and Gold.

In an attempt to keep King James in the City of Angels, they attempted to sign UConn Huskies head coach Dan Hurley, but various factors influenced his decision to stay in Storrs. However, they found their new head coach in JJ Redick, despite Magic Johnson’s reservations about the hiring.
With the hire securing LeBron James with the Purple and Gold, Rob Pelinka and the rest of the Lakers front office will zero in on building the best roster they could. This determination may come with pressure from the most valuable men in the Lakers roster.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis want the Los Angeles Lakers to bring one more superstar into the roster

Sam Amick, per The Cold Wire’s Brandon Marcus, revealed that both James and AD want the front office to bring another star that could help the Purple and Gold to finally bring down the Western Conference’s strongest squads:
According to a new report from Sam Amick, via NBACentral, both LeBron James and Anthony Davis want the Lakers to go “all in” with plans to bring another elite player to the team.
“If the franchise cornerstones had their way, league sources say, the Lakers would prove their desire to win this week by going all-in for another elite player,” Amick wrote.
It will be tough for the Los Angeles Lakers to bring forth another superstar into the roster without completely gutting the team in the process. The Purple and Gold are currently -$72 million in cap space, and it might take a bit of witchcraft for Peliinka to find a disgruntled star on a team that’s willing to take peanuts in exchange.

The Lakers have a couple of tradeable assets they can use to orchestrate a deal, with D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves being the most noteworthy trade pieces. If they do manage to bring that third star in, they will still have to build a roster solid enough to cover for their stars’ respective weaknesses.
It will be a long summer for Lakers fans, and they can only hope that an eighteenth championship banner will be awaiting them this time next year.
