This is the Lakers' plan to build a winning team for the playoffs

Hope is emerging for the Los Angeles Lakers after finding the keys to an inevitable upward trend following the arrival of Luka Doncic. They suffered two tough losses before finding the ideal tactical fits, but JJ Redick has done a great job and is aware that he needs to take a few more steps before reaching the postseason.

Two accomplished stars, such as Luka Doncic and Lebron James, two tremendously talented players capable of disrupting games, along with Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura, and a host of men willing to sacrifice for the collective good by giving their all in defense. This is how Los Angeles Lakers have been designed since the Slovenian landed, with JJ Redick fully aware that the lack of a reliable center should be supplemented with a team defense played with great intensity, conceding threes to opponents but making sure they are not comfortable shots.

- Goodwin and Jamison could receive standard contracts, dispensing with Reddish and Len

A crucial part of the current aspirations of the Los Angeles Lakers lies in the commitment of men like Vanderbilt, Vincent, Jamison, and Goodwin. The latter two would need their two-way contracts converted to standard before the end of the regular season if they are to be included in the playoffs. If they indeed do so, they would part ways with Cam Reddish, who is not in the team's plans, and with Alex Len, whose role as a backup center has diminished with Redick performing well alongside five small players.

Adding to this, they are awaiting the return of Maxi Kleber, who arrived in LA with Doncic but has yet to debut due to a serious injury he seems to be recovering from. The path ahead involves defending with demonic intensity and relying on the playmaking skills of Lebron James and Luka Doncic. There are reasons for hope for the Los Angeles Lakers in the current season.
