The Lakers open the season on Tuesday against Golden State, beginning the season with an aging team that has injury problems. Here's what to expect:
It was the biggest news of their offseason, the team pulling off a draft-day shocker bywhile sending out key role players and longtime Lakers — Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope — in a wide-ranging trade that ended up including Montrezl Harrell. It set the Lakers on a path to a huge roster overhaul, a gamble any time but more so considering James’ aging legs and closing window.— two players in James and Westbrook who are relentless attackers but substandard floor-spacers.
Now, entering his third year with the Lakers, some of those questions have resurfaced, with league scouts and executives wondering about Davis’ consistency and his competitiveness. He played in five of the Lakers’ six preseason games, averaging 14.6 points and 6.0 rebounds.The NBA’s 75th anniversary season begins Tuesday, Oct. 19, with a pair of games, including Lakers vs. Warriors. Here is the L.A. Times’ coverage.
Both Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka and coach Frank Vogel have talked about the team using two centers like it did with JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard on the way to an NBA title. Maybe it was the late addition of DeAndre Jordan that opened that door fully. Maybe Trevor Ariza’s ankle injury derailed the best option for a small-ball lineup.
