Don’t count LeBron and the Lakers out, says Wade

LeBron James can make the Los Angeles Lakers contenders for the NBA title, according to friend and former team-mate Dwayne Wade. James left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Lakers after again losing in the Finals to the Golden State Warriors, linking up with a Los Angeles team that missed out on the playoffs in the last five years. Despite the Lakers' past struggles, Wade believes James will be readying himself for a season competing at the top of the Western Conference.
