Predictions for the upcoming Season
As though landing James wasn't enough, Magic Johnson, Rob Pelinka and the rest of their staff in the front office are looking ahead with their sights set on the cream of next offseason’s free agency crop.
Some of the names on their radar being Jimmy Butler, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and surprisingly, Klay Thompson. I hope they get at least two stars from the names provided above, just so we can have a REAL rivalry with Warriors in the near future.

History has shown that whenever LeBron arrives, he doesn't need a whole season to acclimatize with the new system and get used to their style of play.
He has carried teams to the NBA Finals in his very first season playing with the franchise, and for some inexplicable reason, that seems like the norm.
In my personal opinion, I expect the Lakers will make it to the West Finals at least and yes, my imagination gave up on me after that.
I think they are capable of competing with the Rockets, Spurs and Thunder in the West if LeBron can streamline the talent pool they have accumulated in LA, something he's so adept at pulling through.
