Five Moves the Lakers could make to become champions NOW!

4. Zach Lavine

Chicago Bulls v Memphis Grizzlies

This one might come as a bit of a surprise, as not many see Zach LaVine as the young athletic freak who was ready to take over this league and become one of the best prospects at shooting guard for years to come. And while it can be said that adding LaVine still wouldn’t be enough to overthrow the Warriors in a seven-game series a roster holding, James, LaVine, Ingram, Kuzma, Rondo and a bunch of other pieces would no doubt be a force to be reckoned with for the next season and more.

Although known for his great dunk contest ability, the two-time Slam Dunk champ is a career 37% 3pt shooter and due to his freakish athleticism and length can be more than just a solid defender on the other end when he chooses to be.

It may be a bit of a risk but as there’s no real big market pushing for LaVine’s talent right now a potential one-year test deal for around $10-$14 million is definitely a risk worth taken as if it fails the Lakers are still in great position for next years free agency period and if it succeeds they might just become NBA champions once more.
