The LA Lakers have made a new signing this offseason, but is it enough to compete for the championship?
The La Lakers entered this offseason with perhaps the best building blocks to build their roster. Along with Luka Doncic and Lebron James, the Lakers have the best duo in the NBA.
But things didn’t start very well. Rob Perinka cost Lakers Dorian Finney Smith by lowering him during negotiations.
They made things right as the Lakers signed Jake Laravia and DeAndre Ayton to deal with their weaknesses.
On top of that, the Lakers landed Marcus Smart thanks to Luka Donsic. With these new additions, what can we expect from the Lakers next season?
The LA Lakers enter their second season with JJ Redick. With his roster changes, he has to come up with some new strategies.
Fans can expect this to become the Lakers’ starting lineup.
| Starting lineup | Second unit |
| Luka Donsic | Marcus Smart |
| Austin plays | Gabe Vincent |
| LeBron James | JCLARAVIA |
| Rui Hachimura | Jarred Vanderbilt |
| Deandre Ayton | Jackson Hayes |
This lineup definitely resonates throughout the league. An anonymous NBA executive praised the Lakers for their signature.
The Lakers know what’s on the line for them next season. This is why the Lakers set Luka Donsic’s goal.
The Los Angeles Lakers were blessed this February when they landed Luka Donsic in a trade that no one in their righteous heart expected them to come.
By combining Luka Doncic and Lebron James, the Lakers have put together perhaps the best duo in NBA history. At least from a pure talent perspective.
Unfortunately, last season, the Lakers didn’t have the right players for either star, so they lost in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
Hopefully, the Lakers have enough to tackle their flaws in the offseason and run seriously in the NBA Championship.
