Recent Performance

In recent years, the Lakers have undergone a rebuilding process following the departure of superstar Kobe Bryant. They have invested heavily in young talent, including 2017's second overall draft pick, Lonzo Ball, and superstar free agent acquisition LeBron James. While they have not yet returned to championship form, the Lakers have shown significant improvement in the past few seasons thanks in large part to the growth of young players like Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma. With the team continuing to develop and James at the helm, Lakers fans have high hopes for the future of the franchise.
