The Los Angeles Lakers are looking for reinforcements to help LeBron James. The King will sign a two-year, $104 million contract trying to make a final championship run.

Of course, it’s going to be a unique scenario with his son Bronny James on the roster. However, the goal of winning the title depends on general manager Rob Pelinka adding the necessary pieces.

Right now, many NBA rosters are way ahead of what the Lakers offer even with the presence of Anthony Davis and Austin Reaves. That’s why a surprising move could be in the works.
