The Lakers and Nets are poised to make and face each other in the NBA finals next season since both of these teams are stacked with superstars.
The Nets have a three-headed hydra in Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden, whose offensive firepower will be too much against opposing teams. They also have former All-Star Blake Griffin, who seemed to revive his career in Brooklyn.
Meanwhile, the Lakers added another star when they traded Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Montrezl Harrell to the Washington Wizards for Rusell Westbrook. The enigmatic and mercurial point guard completes the big three of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russ himself.
The Lakers also reloaded as they added former All-Stars Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard to their aging roster.
While the Nets are the much younger team compared to the Lakers, Los Angeles' experience might be their winning edge towards this scary Brooklyn squad. It will be very exciting to see who comes up on top when they hopefully meet each other in the NBA Finals.
