After an injury-riddled season ended with an underwhelming loss in the first round to the Suns, the Lakers overhauled their roster in the offseason.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis will be flanked by a new group as Kyle Kuzma, Dennis Schroder, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Alex Caruso, Andre Drummond and Montrezl Harrell all either left as free agents or were traded by Lakers vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka as part of his efforts to re-tool the roster.
Former NBA MVP and nine-time All-Star Russell Westbrook headlines a new group that also includes Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza and Malik Monk, among others. The Lakers begin the season on Oct. 19 against the Warriors as part of a doubleheader that also includes a marquee matchup between the defending champion Bucks and Nets.
