Los Angeles Lakers retain LeBron James and Anthony Davis

Obviously.

LeBron is locked in. AD could be locked in this season, it all depends on the way in which the cap is affected. It might be more financially viable for AD to take his player option for next season and extend in the Summer of 2021.

If the Lakers can lock down AD long term and have LeBron still firing on all cylinders then the purple and gold will have a stacked roster.

A starting line-up of:

  • C DeMarcus Cousins
  • PF Anthony Davis
  • SF LeBron James
  • SG Victor Oladipo
  • PG Avery Bradley

A 2nd Unit of:

  • C Dwight Howard
  • PF Markieff Morris
  • SF KCP
  • SG  Alex Caruso
  • PG Kris Dunn (via free agency)

Next. Why the Lakers should be title favorites. dark

The Lakers would have an improved roster going into next season, one that could stand up to any additions that other teams like the Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets or Milwaukee Bucks could make.
