Should the Lakers Be Dismissed?

No, the Los Angeles Lakers should not just be dismissed to win the 2019-20 NBA championship because they have their own star duo that can match up with the Clippers at LeBron James and Anthony Davis. (Side note: How insane are Clippers-Lakers games likely to be next season?)
Will it really mean the Lakers need to attempt now to win the title? Sure, but that will be easier said than done sitting on their hands on most of free service whilst anticipating Kawhi Leonard’s choice.
The Lake Show’s supporting cast is really a dumpster fire in comparison to what the Staples Center roommates can put on the court and unless there are more veteran buyouts to come on board to the purple and gold (ahem, Andre Iguodala), the reality is that even with LeBron and the Brow, they are simply outgunned.
I wouldn’t touch them right now at +400 to win the title and I really don’t feel bad for any of those suckers who took them at +185 with some sportsbooks if it was projected they were getting Kawhi too.
