@PlayoffDude They will need a center who is a defensive anchor, and a SF who is a + offensively and is elite defensivly

So Luka wants Austin Reaves back, and the Lakers plus LeBron reportedly have mutual interest in a new deal. If that actually happens, here’s the core starting lineup:
Luka Doncic
Austin Reaves
LeBron James
Now the question is: who are the two most realistic additions the Lakers can get to complete a starting five that can legitimately contend?

AR compared to guards in the playoffs vs OKC (all on max contracts):
Reaves:
18.7 PPG / 7 APG / 52% TS
Booker:
21.3 PPG / 4.8 APG / 56% TS
Kyrie:
15.7 PPG / 6.2 APG / 53% TS
Hali:
14 PPG / 5.9 APG / 58% TS
Ja:
18.3 PPG / 5 APG / 48% TS
Murray:
20.7 PPG / 4.6 APG / 53% TS

Love the no call on that Austin low gather. But it was a foul by the book, so that would be a good example of the officials choosing to not reward a non basketball play. That should just be the precedent league wide.

yeah he’s dirty af and if you don’t like that clip bc it’s not a good angle, here’s another deliberate kick on Austin’s ankle from the same game

@MicTheRonin @AyoBigtalkzu @ZAYYYTHEGOAT Fr. Not to mention he had one of the most efficient gaurd finishing at the rim seasons ever
English
@AyoBigtalkzu @ZAYYYTHEGOAT He also played 51 games so he stats will be higher then most. Which is why he’s at 13 for one game but he won’t finish with 13 fts a game.

wtf did Reaves do to deserve that whistle ? It’s not even hate I really don’t understand it
Evil Daimyo@Kang_In_da_norf
Brunson is not even in the top 10 of FTA per game Yet he drives the most and is the smallest guy on the court

@Ultimas37 @BroncicLuka @BaldMambaSZN Just lost with him back lmao he Don’t impact winning he’s ass on defense
English
REAVES has only had 1 bad playoff series, last yr vs Wolves, cause he was hurt and now he's a playoff dropper
I know what I watched
Naylor@Naylor408
Austin Reaves 2023 WCF
English
@igamble405 @BroncicLuka @BaldMambaSZN So one bad series as the third option, then you expect him to have 23 points as the fourth option? Be fr. He averaged 20 against the Nuggets in 2023. 🤷🏽♂️
English
@Ultimas37 @BroncicLuka @BaldMambaSZN What about last year against the wolves ? Injury excuse? He has never scored more than 23 points in the playoffs that’s bad
English
@BaldMambaSZN he had a bad series against Denver in 24 only good game was game 5
English
English
@4timedai @HoodiiBron Reaves was also bad that series nigga

@ForTheQynn @spudbball Think the issue lies more with Jokic and Wemby. SGA had the best season no denying, but to say Wemby and Jokic were better than Luka this season is kinda wild imo.
English
@spudbball Jokic and Luka as far as 3rd place goes is probably debatable.
English
Luka wasn’t snubbed. He’s great but these 3 were better. Not controversial tbh.
NBACentral@TheDunkCentral
🚨 MVP FINALISTS REVEALED 🚨
English
Jokic didn’t win 60 games and was listed as the top 3 finalist btw lol.
Chris Smoove@ChrisSmoove
Funny thing about all those MVP seasons, their teams won 60+ games. Maybe Luka needs 60 wins with Lakers since he's a bad defender. Curry 67 Wins, 73 Wins, Nash 62 Wins 1st year joining (I agree back to back was cheese), Harden 65 Wins, Dirk 67 Wins, Jokic broke records
English
@FrankFletes @calvingonba Both are magic like tbh. The only difference is LeBron is a pass first player whereas Luka is a scorer first, passer second. But in terms of their playmaking, both are magic-esque.
English
@calvingonba Not Chris Paul. Chris Paul is in John Stockton category. Short PG. Lebron is in Magic Johnson mode. 6-9, passing over the defense, different angels different vision. Luka is more like Larry Bird. 6-8 can score from anywhere. Uses passing to free himself up to score like Larry
English
LeBron is in the Chris Paul category of passer
Luka is in the James Harden category of passer
And it’s largely just a difference in approach to the game.
Dont say my name@stillnez216
Luka is a great passer, Lebron is a great passer, its crazy how much different they are. Lebron is an accurate and smart passer who passes in order to get his teammates going, he seeks them out. Luka is an accurate and smart passer who passes in order to make scoring easier.
English
@prollywontmiss @ChrisSmoove Facts, you can literally see teams go from targeting him at the beginning of the year to targeting other lakers players because of how Luka has improved defensively
English
@ChrisSmoove Luka is the 7th most targeted defensive player in the league…which makes sense! but he also has a 113.6 Defensive rating on the season, literally about average. I’ve noticed this is the one situation people didn’t bring up the numbers
English
Have you watched the Lakers this season? You can literally search right on X for the montage of his bad defense from this season. Watch it. There is a central tag, shoutout to whoever made it. Once again, I don't know why people capping saying Luka Doncic isn't a bad defender this year.
Moe, Harkless Muse@Mo3Muse
im convinced nobody has watched luka doncic this season his defense was NEVER an issue of the lakers barely any times this season did we lose a game this season due to his poor defensive play ESPECIALLY post luke kennard
English
@gapswagg @JJWETHERH0LT @slippygers Yk what took me a while to realize it too. They purposely made their tweet very misleading
English
Its sad how basketball is quickly turning into the most embarrassing sport in America. Baseball was on its knees and Silver got lapped by a clock and VAR.

Heat vs Hornets play-in had 8.3k more live viewers than Game 7 of the World Series.
