These three can make or break the Los Angeles Lakers more than most realize!

Is this breakdown in any way saying that these three can’t co-exist this year? No. It’s a warning not to just take a look at the roster on paper and stats from years ago and assume that there will be no problems.

All of these players will help the Los Angeles Lakers in their own right. But how and where is the question. The dynamics from two years ago in New Orleans have changed. Rajon Rondo was almost out of the NBA. Now he has a two year deal with his option. DeMarcus Cousins was considered an underrated top 10 superstar in Sacramento. Now he’s a player that is on the list of players the NBA has passed by.

Anthony Davis went from an up and coming superstar to one of the top 5 players in the NBA and a possible MVP candidate. Think it doesn’t matter.
