The Los Angeles Lakers enter this season as an even better team than they were last year. The additions of Wesley Matthews, Dennis Schroder, Marc Gasol, and Montrezl Harrell round up a team that was already pretty stacked, and they’re currently the team to beat in the Association.
The Los Angeles Clippers fired coach Doc Rivers and will now have Tyronn Lue calling the shots.
