The Los Angeles Lakers may not have come into the season with much fanfare regarding their hopes of winning a championship. But their excellent maneuverings prior to the trade deadline have drastically changed the outlook surrounding the team.

With Doncic, Lakers fans have the chance for something different, something more similar to what they had with Bryant or Johnson, both of whom spent their entire careers with the Lakers, winning five championships apiece in Los Angeles.

LeBron James apparently had no idea the Lakers were preparing to trade his longtime teammate and co-star Anthony Davis.
