To put the Lakers turbulent start in perspective - let's see how other LeBron-led teams fared early after his FA movement:

'10-'11 Heat: They were 8-6 after their first 14, and 9-8 after their first 17 games

'14-'15 Cavs: They were 7-7 after their first 14 games

'18-'19 Lakers: 8-6 after their first 14.

Lakers have a lot of work to do and are certainly a superstar acquisition away from where they need to be - but their 8-6 start is relatively formidable when you consider all the changes and acclimation that is occurring on the fly -- in the Western Conference.
