LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers had themselves a difficult postseason in 2021 as they were dealing with numerous injuries and underperforming depth. Heading into next year, the Lakers are hoping to be fully healthy and with Russell Westbrook on the roster, there is no doubt that they are setting themselves up to be a powerhouse again.
