Like the Lakers, the Clippers had their share of off-season drama with Chris Paul being traded to the Houston Rockets and Doc Rivers being relieved of his President of Basketball Operation duties. But I'll be totally honest, I don't really care.
What excites me is seeing the new era of Lakers basketball take the court under the leadership of Mr. Showtime himself, Earvin "Magic" Johnson. I can't wait to see how Lonzo Ball will lead the team with his dynamic court vision and uncanny passing skills. I'm looking forward to seeing Brandon Ingram break out into an "almost" all-star caliber player. I'm excited to see if Kyle Kuzma can become the steal of the draft. I want to see how Coach Luke manages all that young talent and making them into a serious threat for the final playoff spot in the very loaded Western Conference. Can Jordan Clarkson win Sixth Man of the Year? There are so many things to be excited about the Lakers this year.
And I'll leave it at that. I'm excited and I'm sure you are too. But I'm not going to get too excited, not yet at least since they haven't played a single regular season game. I'm just gonna sit back, relax and enjoy every single game for now and hope the Lakers put things together and start to make strides towards meeting and hopefully exceeding their potential. Go Lakers!
