Should the Lakers Be Dismissed?

No, the Los Angeles Lakers shouldn’t only be dismissed to win the 2019-20 NBA championship because they have their own star duo that can match the Clippers in LeBron James and Anthony Davis. (Side note: How insane are Clippers-Lakers games going to be next season?)
Will it actually indicate that the Lakers need to try now to win the title? Sure, but this may be easier said than done sitting on their hands for many of free agency whilst anticipating Kawhi Leonard’s decision.
The Lake Show’s supporting cast is a dumpster fire in comparison to what their Staples Center roommates can place on the court and unless there are more veteran buyouts to come on board for the purple and gold (ahem, Andre Iguodala), the reality is that even with LeBron and the Brow, they’re just outgunned.
I would not touch them right now at +400 to win the title and I really don’t feel bad for some of the suckers who took them at +185 with some sportsbooks when it had been projected they were becoming Kawhi too.
