While the majority of the teams have finished their moves for this offseason, we can already afford to take a step back on the best shots of the summer. Have the Lakers managed to outdo the competition? Not for Charles Barkley, who sees another franchise ahead of them.
The month of August is coming to an end in a few days, which means that the training camp will start very soon. A way for teams to prepare for the new season, but also to allow newcomers to get used to a new environment. The Lakers will have a lot of work to do, with many rookies during the offseason.
We obviously think of Russell Westbrook, who was recently seen alongside LeBron James. But there is also Carmelo Anthony, Trevor Ariza, Wayne Ellington, Kendrick Nunn or even Malik Monk. Suffice to say that there is work for Frank Vogel and his staff to be ready for the first meeting.
But with the majority of the squad known, can we consider that the Angelinos managed the best offseason among the 30 franchises in the league? Many in California will tell you yes, when others prefer to look elsewhere, perhaps towards the Eastern Conference. This is the case of Charles Barkley.
More discreet during this offseason, Barkley remains very active and follows the action closely. If he is not necessarily against the summer of the Angelinos, he prefers that of the Bulls, who have recruited DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball or Alex Caruso. A great offseason, even if everything remains to be proven.
I will be totally surprised if this team does not make the playoffs. I think it’s fair to say that the Bulls had the best offseason in the NBA.
On paper, we can in any case say that the Chicago front office has gone on the attack. The roster is interesting, but can this roster work and torment the rest of the Eastern Conference? It’s another question, but Barkley looks confident, very confident.
Charles Barkley assures him, the Lakers did not have the best offseason. This title is awarded to the Bulls, who could wreak havoc on the Eastern Conference side. Doubt exists, even if we can not wait to see it all in action.
