There is little doubt that the Los Angeles Lakers have emerged as one of the biggest winners following what was a frenzied Day 1 of free agency. LeBron James is well aware of his team's epic haul over the past 24 hours and The King has taken to social media to share his reaction to the same.
LeBron did not need any words as he flexed the Lakers' new signings on Instagram (h/t Robert Marvi of Lakers Daily):
All LeBron did was post an image of each of the Lakers' eight new acquisitions. This was more than enough to indicate how pumped he is about LA's squad heading into the new season.
Prior to free agency officially opening, the Lakers already struck a deal with the Washington Wizards to acquire Russell Westbrook in a blockbuster deal. This was the start of a flurry of moves from LA, which included the additions of Trevor Ariza, Kent Bazemore, Dwight Howard, Wayne Ellington, Malik Monk, Carmelo Anthony, and Kendrick Nunn. Needless to say, the Lakers have been busy and they have wasted no time in bolstering their lineup for what should be a bounce-back campaign for them in 2021-22.
It is worth noting, however, that LA also lost a number of key players already. Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are heading to Washington as part of the Westbrook deal, while Alex Caruso is now a Chicago Bull. Andre Drummond has signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, while Dennis Schroder is also expected to part ways with the Lakers.
LA will be fielding an entirely new squad for the upcoming season, but by the looks of it, The King is more than happy with how things have shaped up.
