James has been with the Lakers for 4 seasons. During that time, he had a very unique time with the Lakers, with both highs and lows. In the 2020 season, James helped the Lakers win the NBA championship, but also missed the playoffs twice, and the only time in his career was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
After James joined the Lakers, the Lakers' roster has changed a lot. According to statistics, during James's time with the Lakers, they traded a total of 30 players to different teams, including first-round draft picks and 6 second-round draft picks.
In return, the Lakers got superstars like Anthony Davis and Westbrook, as well as young players like Horton Tucker, plus three second-round picks.
Here are the players who were traded by the Lakers after James joined the Lakers:
Rondo, Wang Zhelin (draft pick), Brad Newley (draft pick), Gasol Jr., Isaiah Jackson, Kuzma, Pop, Harrell, Beasley, Zubac, Svi Mikhairuk, Lonzo Ball, Ingram, Josh Hart, Isaac Bongo, Gemellio Jones, Mowagna, DeAndre Hunt, Danny Green, McDaniels, McDaniels, McGee, 3 first-round picks and 6 second-round picks
It's not surprising that James' team has changed dramatically during his time with the Lakers. Anthony Davis' trade was one of the biggest in NBA history, and the Lakers gave the Pelicans too many young talents to get Anthony Davis. But the Lakers won't complain because the arrival of thick eyebrows helped the Lakers win the NBA championship.
As for Westbrook, it was clearly a failed deal. This offseason, the Lakers will be desperate to trade him away. Because the former MVP player didn't play for the team as the Lakers had hoped. Just last week, the Lakers officially missed the playoffs, and their season ended early. Whether the Lakers will make more changes to the lineup in the offseason, let's wait and see!
