THE priority of the Lakers on the market this summer revealed: « Because of LeBron and Davis, it… »

As the Kyrie Irving soap opera continues, as do rumors of a LeBron James departure, the Lakers already have their priority for the summer. The franchise has every intention of fixing the current shortages in their workforce, still in the hope of winning a title.

The Lakers have had to deal with a lot of issues this season, but the changes to the deadline put a lot of things right last February. Russell Westbrook gone, the Angelinos mainly had defense, shooting and a little creativity to complete the roster. Despite a sweep in the conference final, we can say that Rob Pelinka succeeded in his mission.

But nothing is finished yet. With D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves in the market, the front office has work to do in the coming weeks. Thanks to Jovan Buha, we also know the priority for the leaders: to recruit shooters. It must be believed that a Malik Beasley, who should not be retained, did not give satisfaction.

The priority for next season at the Lakers is to add three-point players. Because of squad stars James and Davis, there will always be limited volume to attempt prize-winning shots. The goal will be for James to attack the circle and Davis to dominate the interior sector, but better shooters would open the key a little more in order to have better shots.

The idea of ​​the Angelinos is therefore relatively simple in the end: to make room in the racket with shooters, in particular to help LeBron James and Anthony Davis. A real shooter behind the 3-point line, and now his defender will be too busy defending him to help his teammates. It’s simple, but it’s proof that there’s not much missing from this squad.

Buddy Hield please 🥺

The Lakers will target the essentials this summer, with shooters in priority. The goal is to surround LeBron James and Anthony Davis well, in the hope that it will be enough for the title. It remains to find the right elements now.
