Why This Version Of The Lakers Is Different
The Lakers are an interesting team because after landing Luca Donuch in maybe the most shocking trade in NBA history, they finally had a chance to build around his skill set. That started with the addition of DeAndre Aton. Eightton’s extremely rare combination of size, athleticism, and shooting touch makes him a dangerous scoring threat who can pressure defenses from multiple levels. As long as he’s next to a ball handler that can create advantages and make the right decisions, he’ll thrive. And what better spot to showcase that than in LA next to Luca. Between Luca’s ability to score from all three levels and the way he can make every pass imaginable, there’s nobody in the NBA who can pick apart a defense out of spread pick and roll quite like him. And the Lakers not only have the resources to surround these two with proper spacing, they’ve got a couple other notable guys by the names of LeBron James and Austin Reeves who can break down defenses themselves and unlock a ton of variety within the offense. The problem is that of this core four, none are plus onm defenders. So between Marcus Smart, Jake Laravia, and Jared Vanderbilt, we’ll have to see if they can get enough stops to complement that offense.

The Los Angeles Lakers have started the process of building around their 26-year old superstar Luka Doncic. But are they good enough to compete for a championship?

And also, why it's exactly the same: the refs will consistently blow their whistle in their favor. 😊
DFS was good at defences i don’t know why they traded him..Ayton is not playing defence so far from what I’ve seen..
Another 1st round exit becuz of AR.
23:25 Uhm, what is this a snapshot of?
In what city is this filmed, the building that's collapsing, surrounded by thousands of buildings that are already severely destroyed?
23 Lakers
i saw luka
It’s the Lakers if they don’t win a championship, everyone will say the team failed. So no, they won’t get enough stops to complement the offense
No defence thou
I think people are underselling the amount of offensive value and dynamics Ayton brings to the lakers especially paired up with Luka only thing is what are we going to get on the defensive end of the court
Play-in team
😂 AR is at a height disadvantage idk why people act like his mid offense makes up for it
You forgot Gabe!
Problem with that is Luka is 26 and lebron is 56 lol
LEBRON HAS TO GO….. TIME TO RETIRE AND LET THE YOUNG BLOOD TAKE OVER.
