As soon as McLemore was released, the Lakers were deemed the favorites and have managed to land some more talent via free-agency.

You can never have enough shooters around LeBron James and Anthony Davis and the Lakers are hoping they can get healthy soon so they can get everyone up to speed and work on their chemistry heading into the playoffs as they try to repeat as champs.
