Los Angeles Lakers:

The Los Angeles Lakers have been the most successful sides of the league in the last decade. They are the only team to have achieved the three peat in the last ten years and were well on their way to achieve yet another last season, but their journey towards a sixth title met an unexpected end at the hands of the eventual champions, the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Semifinals.

In a series that was billed to the battle of the titans, the Mavs simply took the Lakers apart and handed them their worst ever thrashing in playoffs series. The Lakers were emphatically swept and after that fiasco, the Lakers will surely be looking to add some strength to their roster.

This is not only due to the fact that most of the elite teams in the league have sorted them out over the period of the last few years. The rise of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies in the West, and Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference, poses a serious threat to the dominance of the Lakers and if they do not make a move quickly, the legacy of the Lakers might become a thing of the past.
