Lakers still in the same position now. Lakers still in the same position until LeBron decides to retire. They will need a top 20 big man. Who will that be?
Lakers will stuck until 2026 season. Even then, once Bron is off their books, who will come and play defense? They have no assets beyond Reeves now. Unless LeBron helps the franchise out, they are still not a title contender. I’d put OKC, Houston, Memphis and maybe the Nuggets over them.
Just looking at that list, all of them could be had in a seven game. Are the Lakers equipped to be the ones to take them out.
On the Mavs side, they had to have asked Luka where he wanted to go. Good on them. Good on the franchise to take care of their player. The Clippers had more to give but who wants to play with peg leg. Still they should have got that second first rounder. Then again, AD is a top ten player to some so…
