2018-19 NBA Season Preview: Los Angeles Lakers

Opportunities and Threats

Though James' fitness is something that's taken for granted, it also provides the biggest threat to the basketball topography of the Lakers next season

LeBron James' fitness level and ability to dominate in every single one of the 82 games during the season, has left everyone around the NBA universe in awe.

Though his fitness is something that's taken for granted, it also provides the biggest threat to the basketball topography of the Lakers next season.

If he goes down with an injury(which probably never happens) for a stretch of games, it'll take some serious firepower on the team's part to fill up the void in the meantime.

Also, Lonzo Ball has undergone a successful knee surgery to repair his torn meniscus and is expected to attend training camp and be ready, in time, for the regular season.

He needs to extrapolate the bright spots he showed(when he was healthy) during the past injury-riddled season and with consistency this time around.

Ironically, the opportunities for the Lakers squad that has been put together are more or less, threats in disguise.

The revamped version of the team may thrash all opposition that comes their way if the role players play to their strengths and support Bron & the youngsters or it might as well turn out to be a hastily assembled assortment of NBA stars.
