Last season, the Brooklyn Nets shocked the league when they formed their iteration of the big three. This season, the Lakers have followed suit as they have added a fellow superstar in former MVP Russell Westbrook.
Given how dominant the duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis has been, imagining an addition like Westbrook in the lineup makes the Lakers one of the best teams on paper. Not only is the team star studded, they also have an able supporting cast.
Although the big three have had multiple practice sessions with each other, we haven’t seen the trio in the pre-season till now. With four pre-season games already over, the Lakers only have a couple of games remaining before their regular season game begin.

Given how ball dominant LeBron James is, can he co-exist with a mercurial guard like Westbrook. With the regular season only a couple of weeks away, the game time is an absolute necessity for the big three to build some cohesion.
Davis also has a new role as he will now primarily play as the center, meaning that his defensive assignment will increase significantly. The Lakers’ big three have all the factors to be successful but more the playtime they get, the better they will be.
