30 days / 30 teams: Los Angeles Lakers

Les Lakers version Luka DoncicYear II. After a few intense months after the arrival of Slovenian in the city of Anđela, see former players Mavericks in “Purple and Gold” will now look familiar. After adaptation and dry removal in the first round of the playoffs against wolves, it is time for ambition.

As for the case at the CRIPTO.com Arena, we do not accept any less than victories and returning to the top of the league. However this season should have a bit special taste because it seems to be nearing closer and closer LeBron JameS, 41 years 30. December …

The most fertile shooter in history is played during and refuses the correct farewell tour. But the weight of the years increases uncertainty about his future. And Lebron James did not give further clarity this summer. Nor his body, While missing the beginning of the season for Since saliatice. More than ever, Lakers are teams of Luka Doncyževa (expanded the contract for three years), which must wear dreams of Angelino fans.

Leaders are not idle this summer, with limited resources, but little ingenuity. The attractiveness of Los Angeles has once again transmitted fruit with arrival DEANDRE AITONcut by the Blazers in which the transplant was never taken. The first first choice of draft 2018 will be thus developed with Luka Doncić, chose two dials later, as a partner for choice and roll. In a double double every season than his debutite, the Bahamian must be established as Reliable solution below the circlewhich JJ Redick is no longer available in the second half of the season. Another smart supplement, Marcus Smart They arrive to bring their experience and defense quality for the back. At least, provided it passes Less time in the infirmary than in recent seasons (54 booston crossing games two years ago).

Around Doncic – Lebron Duo and two main recruits offseason, in the regular season in the west is several big changes with the third in the west before they dominate wolves. Austin Reaves will always be “The third man” of these lachers And he will have to be at least productive as last season (21.9 points, 5.2 assists, 4.8 rebounds after the arrival of the port of Doncić).

Rui Hachimura for now would now retain their starting place, while the bench will once again turn around Gabe Vincent, Dalton Knecht, Jarred Vanderbilt, Jakson HaiesHe helped Jake LaraviaAnother quite interesting summer recruiter. The same recipe for better results?

Summer movements

The player following: Lebron James

And a new record that will come to LeBron James, which is prepared to play its 23. season in the league. However, we will have to be a small patient because it will not start the season, the wrong of the sciatica is bothering him since the beginning of the flight. If it is a little early to panic, this injury is the illustration of the challenge that “king” faces several years and which only increases such as wing entry into retirement.

The four time MVP may not show the obvious signs of the physical age last season, because his statistics could confirm. But the weight of the years ends harder and harder.

Do we experience twilight absolute sports legends? Maybe these sciatica will eventually be just a warning signal without further consequences. The good poultry performance no longer depends on the past on Lebron James. But it remains absolutely

Average age: 27.1 years

Payment list: $ 211.6 million (6th)

Ideal scenario

That LeBron James has been preserved is no surprise. Lakings already suffered him last season and prepared for it. But the fact that “king” was deprived of the ball so long so that he could make him hungry, very hungry even for his recovery. His Association with Luka Doncic showed early encouraging signs, and the Duo did not aboln the surrounding teammates, such as Austin. Los Angeles could even afford to manage during the regular season without too much forcing and still showing a satisfactory level of the game.

Frustrated with Slovenia this summer in Eurobasket, Luka Dončić could piss a small season. And natutating “Luka magic” often desolation on an opposing defense.

With the threat of Deandra Aton on Pick-and Roll, Slovenian has enough to set up his game. JJ Redick In any case, there are more weapons than during the last playoffs in which he preferred to retire at a series of his five, not bet on his bench. If injuries mostly spare Angelinos, they can deal with ambitions.

The worst scenario

Lejkers may have hoped that they will learn to tame at work, Lebron James and Lubron Doncic could spend part of transferring the transfer of their automisses.

Missed, because the health of “LBJ” has kept it aside from July. And this could take longer while sciatica, especially in this age, can really drag over time. Without LeBron James, or even if it is on the floor, Los Angeles is not the same team.

Also pay attention to the port of Dončić, whose weight curve makes the swollen digits at the beginning of the flight (104 kilograms lost in the amount of 104 kilograms or almost 15 kilograms), and then return to 111 kilograms in the Lakers training camp. Los Angeles may expect to save LeBron James and his body, without seeing the port of Dončić frequent treatment as it is in Dallas.

As for Aton and Smart recruits, bets are interesting on paper, but not without risk. Marcus SMART has not yet found defender’s reports in the year or even a donkey in the NBA. As for Deandra Aiton, it is expected to play on the screen and protect the hoop, the two areas in which it is located after the screen, 63% of the league is better, 73. memory of 107 in the percentage of opponents near the area near the circle). It could be much, against the best teams in the west and frustrating seasons, is obviously not considered, with the port of Dončić, which would increase the pressure in the boundaries of James and LeBron James and Lebron James.
