But multiple pre-deadline trades reshaped the team. It finished the season with a flurry. Now, it is headed to the Western Conference semifinals after sending the Memphis Grizzlies home for the summer with a 125-85 rout in Game 6.

The Lakers have already beaten the odds, and now the sky could be the limit for them.

Fans on Twitter are excited about them and their prospects moving forward.
