The Los Angeles Lakers are entering a post-LeBron James era after the four-time champion announced he wouldn’t return for the 2026-27 season. Former Lakers star Derek Fisher believes the team can still thrive, citing a strong backcourt with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, alongside promising big man Walker Kessler. General manager Rob Pelinka has revamped the roster, raising questions about Doncic’s ability to lead the team. Fisher is optimistic, suggesting the Lakers could achieve 45 to 50 wins if things go right.
