How Good Will Lakers Be This Year? (2022 NBA Season)

 

There have been some trades over the past few weeks that have been exciting and newsworthy. You’ve got DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball traded to the Chicago Bulls to team up with Lavine and Vucevic, also potentially making the Bulls a threat next season. You’ve also got Kyle Lowry joining Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, potentially forming a big 3 in Miami.

But the most significant trade in the NBA free agency this year is Russell Westbrook to the Lakers, to team up with Lebron and AD.

First off on the Lakers, you have Lebron, who is potentially one of the best players of all time, and has elite scoring capabilities and defensive properties. Then you have Anthony Davis, who has extraordinary paint scoring capabilities, and who thrives in blocking shots and defending in the paint. And now, you have Russell Westbrook, the triple double god and one of the best players without a ring.

I personally think that Nets this year will win the Championship over Lakers, but its safe to say that Lakers still have a high chance to win the championship.
