LeBron James said that he had no hidden intention when picking his All-Star teammates. However, this would be a perfect chance for LeBron to recruit superstars.
The nationally televised tryout to see which @NBAAllStar @KingJames teammate will play with him and the @Lakers next year. @KDTrey5, @KyrieIrving , Kawhi Leonard or @KlayThompson this July, each expected player to be an unrestricted free agent.#nbaallstar #nba #nbabasketball pic.twitter.com/wySQCzWqGp

Kevin Durant
Durant is becoming a free agent this summer and the Lakers are, among others, a team that will probably try to acquire him.

Kyrie Irving
Irving is another player Los Angeles Lakers are interested in who is going to become a free agent this summer.
Did LeBron James and Kyrie Irving plan their reunion with the Lakers while playing together in Cleveland? Bill Simmons has a wild conspiracy theory that's worth your time. https://t.co/jNwLZuJd4F pic.twitter.com/sAXBoBoJRJ

Anthony Davis
There is a possibility that the Lakers will get Davis, as they already made some offers.
The Lakers are still glad to engage with the Pelicans on an Anthony Davis trade, but no longer want to bid against themselves, league sources tell ESPN. Lakers are waiting for Pelicans to make a counter-proposal.
