The Lakers bet on the new three giants! Doncic joins forces with James, how high can Los Angeles fly in the new season?

The Lakers' operations this summer are earthquake-magnitude. The core operation is clear at a glance: Anthony Davis goes away from Dallas in exchange for the super rising star Luca Doncic, who is only 25 years old. Doncic, who averaged 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game last season, is not only the cornerstone of the Lakers in the next ten years, but also can share the heavy offensive pressure for the 39-year-old LeBron James. This trade injects young blood into the Lakers with top ball holding core.

The inside vacancy was filled by DeAndre Ayton. The Lakers signed the former No. 1 center for two years and $16.6 million. Ayton, who averaged 14 points and 11 rebounds per game last season, ended with solid franchise protection and efficient pick-and-roll, perfectly adapting to Doncic and James' offensive system, becoming an ideal inside partner for the new dual-core.

The backcourt welcomed "Gang Ge" Marcus Smart. Smart (over 10 million in two years) signed with a two-year special case is a strong defensive gate, with a three-point shooting percentage of 39.2% last season. He will inject much-needed tough defense, leadership and reliable space projection into the Lakers backcourt. The lineup puzzle is formed, and hidden worries emerge

The Lakers' starting lineup is about to emerge: Doncic, Austin Reeves, James, Hachimura Hira, and Ayton. This combination of offensive talents overflowed, and Doncic's comprehensive creativity, James' control and Ayton's end complemented each other. Smart led the bench, supplemented by Vanderbilt and Kleber and other strong players, and his lineup depth and competitiveness leaped to the forefront of the league.

However, hidden dangers also exist. In order to get strong support such as Doncic, the Lakers not only sent away Thick Brows, but also took on the first round pick in 2029 and cut off Milton, Goodwin and other players. More importantly, the maximum salary contract between James and Doncic almost locks down the team's salary space, and there is very little room for subsequent strengthening. Although Ayton can protect the frame, his opponent's shooting percentage in the penalty area was as high as 68% under his defense last season, and it is still unknown whether his defensive efficiency can be improved. The new starting lineup has a gorgeous offense, and the running-in effect on the defensive end will determine the team's upper limit.

Located new chapter, three major suspense touching people's hearts

The Lakers have a lot of highlights in the new season: Can this brand new team with Doncic + James + Ayton as the core, supplemented by Reeves, Hachimura Shizuo, Smart and other powerful players break through the siege in the Wild West? How will the ball rights distribution and chemical reaction between Doncic and James evolve? Is it a perfect match or does it require pain adjustment? Can Ayton really support the Lakers' inside defensive barrier?

Pellinka's gamble pushes the Lakers to the high ground of talent. Doncic's superstar potential, James' final legend, and Ayton's battle of proof are intertwined at the Staples Center. Although the salary shackles are heavy and the defensive hidden dangers are not eliminated, this brand-new Purple and Gold Legion has its explosive offensive talent and star charm enough to make fans full of imagination about the new season.

Luocheng is on the rise again. This time, the bet is big and the suspense is enough.
