Let’s take a look at how the Lakers transformed their team with these three massive trade deadline deals.
Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka feels the combination of All-Star guard Luka Doncic and center Mark Williams will pair well together on the court.
LeBron James finished with 42 points and 17 rebounds as the Lakers held off a second-half surge by the Warriors to win for the 10th time in 12 games.
Fresh off acquiring Luka Doncic, the Lakers traded for 23-year-old Charlotte center Mark Williams in another deadline deal.
Lakers coach JJ Redick said newly acquired Luka Doncic could debut Saturday against Indiana or Monday versus Utah.
The Lakers continued their momentum on the court, rolling to a 122-97 win over the Clippers at the Intuit Dome despite the emotions of a mega-trade.
While All-NBA star Luka Doncic was shocked by the trade, he then realized “This is the Lakers. It’s one of the best clubs in history. So I’m excited to be here.”
There is plenty to learn about the new Lakers star and his coach, a former teammate who spoke highly then of the player who is now the team’s future leader.
LeBron James may no longer be the No. 1 priority for the Lakers, but that doesn’t mean he’ll ask to be traded in the wake of the Luka Doncic trade.
Rob Pelinka, the Lakers’ general manager and vice president of basketball operations, says he’ll continue to build a roster around Luka Doncic.
