After signing the likes of Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony, the LA Lakers tipped to win the NBA championship. However, the season didn’t turn out as they hoped. Lakers had a dismal showing in the regular season, partly due to injuries and rest because of just poor performances. The only real positive for the team was LeBron James.

LeBron and Bronny?

This season was a failure for the Lakers organization as a whole. They were one of the pre-season favorites to win the west and move to the finals but their season never really took off. The team could never really find a rhythm. Also, the old roster had numerous injuries throughout the season which resulted in the roster never really having a set rotation and never finding its identity.

LeBron has a decision to make. He can stay with the team and go ahead for one more season. Because seldom do locations provide a market like LA. But for that, he will need to commit to his future. Along with AD, Lebron can still win a championship here in LA. The question is, is Lebron’s heart set on winning in LA?
