Are Lakers Ready for Showtime?
summer when the free agent pool will be
as deep as the middle of the ocean. LeBron
James, Paul George, Chris Paul, DeMarcus
Cousins and many more top names from
across the league will all be eligible to sign
with the Lakers in the 2018 offseason. As
much as anything else, this year is about how
the young nucleus of Ball, Ingram, Clarkson
and Randle all play together to not only
make the Lakers as appealing as possible
to free agents, but also to make themselves
appealing enough to other teams that may
inquire about young talent in any possible
trade scenarios.
The expectation of the 2017-18 Lakers
season isn’t as dull and dreary as reading
this article may make it seem. The key to
enjoying this season revolves around just
where you set your expectations for the team.
Don’t expect this year’s Lakers to make a
run at an NBA championship just because
there will be new names on the back of the
jerseys running up and down the basketball
court. Do expect to see some of the most
entertaining basketball that you’ve seen
on the Staples Center floor at least in the
last four years. That exciting basketball is
exactly what has the opportunity to signal
the reinvention of Showtime in Los Angeles
whether the Lakers finish each game with
an “L” or a “W” in either column of the

By Adam Serrao
It’s that time of the year again. Once
everyone has finally gotten fully involved
in the football season, the NBA has done
its part to sneak up around the corner to
begin its regular season slate across the
league. The main question on the hearts
and minds of Lakers fans everywhere in Los
Angeles seems to be: “Just how good will
this Lakers team be?” The answer? While
the addition of Lonzo Ball may have added
a lot of juice to the watch-ability factor of
the team, don’t expect this year’s roster
to compete with other elite squads of the
Western Conference for a championship or
playoff spot anytime soon.
The last four seasons haven’t been easy
for Lakers fans. The team has averaged
22 wins per year, players have come and
gone, and the most exciting point of the
year has come during the NBA Draft, when
the Lakers are picking near the top of an
order that includes the absolute worst teams
in the league. The Lakers have, indeed,
been among the absolute worst--a fate that
the organization had previously eluded for
decades as they hung championship banners
from the rafters seemingly year after year.
Even through the bad times, however, Laker
fans have remained among the most loyal in
the entire sports world. Can this be the year
that their loyalty actually pays off?
The answer to that question lies in each
fan’s very own definition of success. With
every bad season comes a high draft pick
for the Lakers. Those high draft picks have,
to this point, accumulated talent like Julius
Randle, Brandon Ingram and--making his
debut in the purple and gold this year--
Lonzo Ball. A high draft pick or two isn’t
the only thing that will make this year’s
Lakers team feel brand new. The additions
of Lakers legend Magic Johnson (who
seemingly turned around the Dodgers) and
new general manager Rob Pelinka, who have
been deemed with the task of running Los
Angeles’s front office, should not only have
the Lakers arrow trending upward, but also
make the Staples Center a destination that
other free agents would now like to put on
their respective maps once again.
That fact alone, though, doesn’t mean
that the Lakers will be great this year. The
accumulation of talent that now comprises Los
Angeles’s roster is still relatively unproven,
especially when it is held in comparison to
other powerhouse teams like the Golden State
Warriors and now, the Houston Rockets and
Oklahoma City Thunder. A quick glance at
the Western Conference landscape would
leave any enquiring Lakers fans’ minds stuck
with the simple fact that a finish within the
Top eight in their conference seems relatively
impossible, to say the least. While many
Laker fans are eternal optimists, that simple
fact makes them some of the most loyal
around. Seeing how an extremely young
and inexperienced roster will beat out the
likes of teams like the Utah Jazz or New
Orleans Pelicans (who project as the number
eight and nine teams in the standings) would
take enough optimism to make even a New
York Knicks fan think that even they will
make it to the Finals this year.
The fact about the Lakers remains that
despite their additions of talent including
the point guard Ball and even number 27
draft pick Kyle Kuzma to go along with
other new names, the team is still in the
process of taking baby steps back towards
greatness. And let’s all face it--while the
Warriors remain at the top doing their
thing, the Lakers might as well take their
time with the process. The Lakers should
improve drastically on the offensive side
of the ball this season, but still project to
be one of the worst defensive teams in the
entire league. Even still, that’s okay for a
team coming off of the worst four-year
stretch in franchise history that only won
a grand total of 26 games one year ago.
The real key to the Lakers’ eventual success
and return to greatness won’t, in fact, be
their record at the end of this season. The
key to the Lakers raising another banner
will be what the team does in next year’s
