The League Leader

With all 4 California NBA teams making the playoffs, last season was a decent season for the Clippers and Warriors, a great season for the Lakers, and a historical season in Kings History. However, none of these teams can just sit and wait for a ring, as none of them are perfect. These are the biggest question left for each team entering the next season

Lakers: How Many Fuels Are Left for Lebron?

Finishing his 20th season, Lebron James is still the man for his team. Yet, he has shown some signs of breaking down or even playing less minutes in the playoffs last year in the crucial Western Conference Finals. Despite his desire to continue to play for multiple years, there are certainly questions on whether he can still sustain as the 1st option on a Championship team.

With the help of Anthony Davis, the concerns are certainly lowered, but it is still a very tough path to pass the Denver Nuggets and the competitive Western Conference if Lebron falls off. It will be a matter of time before we see whether Lebron can continue his unbelievable game-to-game performance through next season with the well-built Lakers roster.

Kings: Are the Young Kings’ Ceiling High Enough?

Coming off one of the best offensive season in NBA history, the young Kings looked to be one of the most promising teams in the future years. However, many still rank them behind teams such as the Lakers or Nuggets when it comes to record or behind the Thunders or Rockets when it comes to future potential. So the main question for the Kings is, Can this core of De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis, Keegan Murray, Davion Mitchell, and the other players raise the Kings to the next level? Potentially as a contender?

Warriors: Can Chris Paul Fit in the System?

The Warriors had an under-achieving season last year with a depressing road record and a playoff disappointment. Anyhow, it is obvious that the window isn’t closed yet: they still have a chance. With the roster brought back and with Stephen Curry, one of the best basketball players in the world still on the team, the Warriors are always in the conversation.

Now with the addition of former All-NBA Guard Chris Paul, the Warriors are looking to make a final push. So now the problem becomes, can Chris Paul fit in the Warriors system? If he can’t, than the Warriors would look to potentially trade him before the deadline. If he does, than the Warriors can still be a legit contender.

Clippers: [Again] Can the Super Star Duo Stay Healthy?

Entering their fifth season together Super Star duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George is still looking to have both players healthy and playing most of the games. Despite their previous failures, the window is still very much open for the Clippers, as we all know what the two stars are capable of achieving.

However, the hopes are slowly losing as this injury issue has been their main problem for seasons. On the other hand, Clippers Coach Tyronn Lue and Clippers executive Jerry West seems to have their bets on their team, as in multiple podcast interviews they have re-claimed that they think Load Management wasn’t like what the fans worried and they still have a lot of hopes for the future.
