The Lakers revamped their roster this offseason to align better with Luka Doncic’s playing style, re-signing Austin Reaves and trading for Walker Kessler, while also parting ways with LeBron James. Doncic, who missed the playoffs last season due to a hamstring injury, claims to be “100% healthy” and ready for a strong season. The team added guards Quentin Grimes and Collin Sexton to support Doncic, who has also been bonding with new teammates in Slovenia. The new-look Lakers aim to be a top contender in the West, contingent on Doncic’s health and performance at an MVP level.
