The Los Angeles Lakers had one of the most intriguing offseasons out of any team in the NBA not only because they revamped what was already a championship-contending roster, but because they added some very well-known players around the league.
Aside from having LeBron James and Anthony Davis on their roster, the Lakers now have Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, Rajon Rondo, Dwight Howard, DeAndre Jordan, and a handful of other veteran, experienced players.
Between the seven players named above, these guys have a combined 57 All-Star appearances, 48 All-NBA appearances, and eight total championships.
The experience the Lakers have on their roster cannot be matched by any other team in the league, but as a result, they are also the oldest team in the league with an average team age of about 30.6-years-old right now with one roster spot still open.

Any team with LeBron James on it has a chance to win a title, even if he is now 36-years-old, but now with a plethora of other experienced players, it is going to be very intriguing to see if this team can not only play well together for all 82 games in the regular season but remain healthy and fresh all year long.
All of these guys have played a ton of minutes in the NBA and are on the back halves of their careers, other than Anthony Davis, so while they look like the team to beat in the Western Conference, we really do not know much about how this team will look.

We also do not know how their “three-headed monster” of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook is going to work.
The Los Angeles Lakers traded away Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and a draft pick in the offseason for Westbrook, which turned out to be one of the biggest moves made by any team this past summer.
