Top 20 Most Impactful Acquisitions of 2018

1. LeBron James

While all the other transactions on this list were great, LeBron James is in a league of his own. Not only is James the best basketball player in the world, he is also the most polarizing athlete in sports.

When the Lakers signed James this offseason, they all of a sudden became the most interesting team in sports that everyone is following. James has turned the Lakers from a lottery team to one of the best teams in the NBA. At 20-14, the Lakers are currently fourth in the Western Conference and James is playing at an MVP-level.
