Welcome to our annual Lakers season in review series, where we’ll look back at each player on the team’s roster this season and evaluate if they should be part of the future of the franchise.

While LeBron James is currently in the midst of the greatest of all time debate from many pundits, he’s still facing a dilemma next season – his next possible destination.
