2 big enemies want to compete with each other! The Lakers should not be obsessed with 2027, Pelinka should do his best to strengthen East Zhan

The new season of the NBA is about to begin. Although many Lakers fans and media are looking forward to the Lakers' performance in the new season and are looking forward to the team's victory under the leadership of James and Doncic. James and Doncic themselves are full of expectations for cooperation in the new season, but judging from the various news in this offseason, the Lakers management does not regard next season as a championship season.

When Doncic renewed his contract, reporter Jake Weinbach talked about the future lineup plan of the Lakers after renewing the contract with Doncic. The reporter said: "The Lakers have clear long-term plans. They will shift their focus to building a lineup around Doncic in the foreseeable future. Los Angeles is creating ultimate flexibility for themselves, especially in the summer of 2027, with strong players surrounding their star players." The implication is that the Lakers may think that James will only play for two more seasons at most. After James retires, they will build a lineup around Doncic. At the same time, many people believe that stars such as Jokic and Antetokounmpo will become free agents in 2027. Therefore, in fact, in addition to the Lakers, many teams are planning to retain the flexibility of the team's space, and start a battle of robbing people in 2027, including the Warriors and the Clippers.

Recently, reporter NBACentral posted a social media report that the Warriors may target four superstars in the free agent market in 2027. These include Jokic and Antetokounmpo. Although Butler was traded last season, the Warriors are actually quite different from competing for the championship. In addition, Butler will gradually increase in the age of Dreams Green and Curry in the next few years. It will become more unrealistic to compete for the championship with these three as the core. The Warriors management is very clear about this. Therefore, this offseason, they would rather spend money with Cumingga than trade randomly and strengthen them randomly, which means using Cumingga to exchange for high-quality chips to prepare for the competition for Antetokounmpo and Jokic in 2027 and to start the post-Curry era.

As for the Clippers, the team's poor record in recent years has given them a plan to rebuild. Coupled with the impact of Leonard's current storm, according to the news, the Clippers will no longer use Leonard as the core to build a championship lineup, so they naturally want to grab the superstars in 2027. Today, US media Basketball Forever updated social media and reprinted the latest report by Bill Simmons about the Clippers. It wrote: "The real intention of the Clippers' current operation is to clear the salary space in 2027. Because Antetokounmpo will become a free agent at that time, I think this is serious, and the Bucks are panicking about it."

To sum up, if the Warriors and the Clippers really compete with the Lakers in 2027, with the Lakers' management's ability, they actually have no advantage, not to mention that if Antetokounmpo and Jokic really enter the free market, the competition faced by the Lakers will definitely be very good. In the end, it is likely that the basketball team will lose all the money. Therefore, the best way at the moment is that the Lakers should not be obsessed with 2017, but instead take advantage of the team's still owning James and Doncic to sign and strengthen as much as possible, and strive for the championship with all their might. And judging from the attitude James and Doncic has shown, they are not willing to regard next season as a transitional season. If the Lakers management has huge conflicts with James and Doncic because of this, then let alone introducing another superstar in 2027, they may even lose James and Doncic at the same time.
