Luka Dončić Says This Offseason Is Critical. Plus... Is LeBron Bringing Kevin Love?

The Lakers have been pumping the importance of this offseason for a while, in part (one might argue) because they hoped to change the subject after a series of underwhelming trade windows.  Well, now we're here and the hope was the Lakers would be filled with options, and the world would be their oyster. Things look a little more complicated than that, but nonetheless people expect big things. People including Luka Dončić, who on a podcast in Europe made a note of last year's failed season (they didn't win). It's big from a personnel standpoint, and from a fitness standpoint. It'll be very interesting to see how Luka attacks this offseason on that end, following the Summer of Luka and the new bar he's expected to meet.  Luka also noted the type of players he likes -- centers that can jump/finish and shooters.

Would he be a good addition?  Finally, could Trey Murphy III be more available than reported?  Get Your Free Locked On NBA Draft Guide!
