Lakers this season
This season was seen as an overall failure for the Lakers as they failed to even qualify for the play-in tournament. They were one of the pre-season favorites for the NBA Championship. They traded for Westbrook in a huge trade, which eventually hampered their team chemistry.

LeBron – The savior
When the Cleveland Cavaliers drafted LeBron, he was looked at as a savior for a franchise that looked like the worst in the league and had never even made the NBA Finals. Though they didn’t qualify for the postseason in his first two seasons, he led them to the NBA Finals in his fourth season.
