The 2018-19 NBA season was an interesting one for the Los Angeles Lakers, so let’s break down five things we can take away from this journey.

The Los Angeles Lakers have found themselves in a strange position. The signing of LeBron James did not bring the success they originally believed it would, and they are now scrambling to pick up the pieces.

It goes without saying that this season was a failure for the Lakers. Beginning with hopes of competing for a championship and ending without even reaching the playoffs is a clear disappointment.

This season has been catastrophic and the impact of this team’s misfortune could have long-lasting effects. Many members of the front office are in jeopardy of losing their jobs, while nearly every player on the roster is at the risk of being traded.

Bouncing back from a season like this will be no easy task. It’s time to analyze what we can learn from this year and figure out what the team can do to get back on its feet. Here are five takeaways from the 2018-19 NBA season.
