JaVale McGee is already predicting that his new team will be one of the most fun teams ever. The new look Los Angeles Lakers might not be the Showtime Lakers, but they'll be fun to watch in their own right.
JaVale McGee on the Lakers locker room: "Man, it's going to be amazing (big smile). You got so many personalities in this locker room but I feel like it's all going to mesh together and it's going to be one of the most fun teams ever."

The team brought on a slew of veterans this offseason to bolster their young roster. JaVale McGee is joined by Rajon Rondo, Lance Stephenson, and Michael Beasley. Those four are some of the most exciting players in basketball — although they can also be frustrating to watch as well.
The biggest prize of the offseason, LeBron James, will have to deal with the antics of his new teammates. But this is nothing new for LeBron. He's used to dealing with wildcards — cough, J.R. Smith, cough.
The new additions should be fun to watch, but don't forget about the young corps. Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and Josh Hart are all promising players brimming with as much talent as they have personality.
The Lakers may not be the most talented in the Western Conference. But there's no doubt they'll be one of the more interesting teams to watch this season. The personalities, the talent, the storylines, and the inevitable controversies should be enough to keep any NBA fan interested.
Like every team that's undergone a serious reconstruction, there will be growing pains. Everyone needs to figure out how to play together and chemistry should develop as the season goes on.
But regardless of when this team hits its stride, the Lakers will be fun to watch.
