The Lakers achieved some continuity in the offseason, but questions include who will be the fifth starter.
The Lakers’ LeBron James guards the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals The Lakers will seek to have James at full strength in the playoffs in 2024. For the first time in years, the Lakers won’t enter training camp with roster drama or trade rumors hanging over their heads.
As is the case with any team hoping to contend for an NBA title, especially in a Western Conference in which several teams rightfully believe they could make it to the NBA finals, the Lakers have a multitude of questions to answer.
There are only so many frontcourt minutes to go around for James, Davis, Hayes, Wood, Vanderbilt, Prince and Hachimura. They also made the free agency addition of Cam Reddish, the No. 10 pick in the 2019 draft, who could also be a factor as a backup wing.A subplot of the Lakers’ last several months: they’ve gotten younger, which provides optimism that team improvements could be made through individual development.
“It’s easy to overlook that Christian Wood is [28],” Pelinka said. “We were going down the list, Gabe Vincent is 27, DLo is 27, Vando is 24, Austin is 25. These guys have a lot of growth left still. We talked about the versatility and depth of the roster, but it’s also young and I’m excited to see how some of these guys improve.”The expectations of James, who’ll turn 39 in December and is entering his 21st NBA season, are unprecedented.
