17-time NBA champions Los Angeles Lakers are one of the most successful teams in the NBA. They last won the title in 2020. The Lakers went through a massive roster overhaul during the offseason. They have added 14 players to their roster so far, including the likes of Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, DeAndre Jordan, Malik Monk, among others.

The Lakers are now one of the favorites to win the title this season. However, they will need their players to gel up both on and off the court fast. They already have one of the league’s best in every position and it can be hard to manage a dressing room full of superstars.

Many were looking forward to seeing how the relationship between Westbrook and Rajon Rondo would unfold. But, it appears that the duo has settled their feud and are looking forward to playing together. Westbrook recently engaged in hilarious friendly banter with teammate Malik Monk.
