The most important "signing" for the Lakers is not Luka Doncic
An NBA executive says the best news for the Los Angeles franchise is LeBron James' superb level
It is no secret that the arrival of Luka Doncic has made the Los Angeles Lakers better. In the future, it could be considered the best trade in NBA history (for the Angelino franchise). However, the Slovenian is not the best of the team this season.
At least, that's the opinion of an anonymous NBA executive, in statements collected by ESPN. According to his words, the level of LeBron James is what is making the Lakers 2nd in the Western Conference and achieve so many consecutive victories.
"They haven't just signed Luka. They've also signed a more committed LeBron. They have the personnel of a mid-range defensive team, but they are in second place. Their scheme is not groundbreaking, but it's getting the job done," he said.
"Over the years, we've seen many teams play this way in the playoffs; they're playing strategically in the regular season. They do it with great energy and with great game discipline. If you ask me if this is sustainable, yes, I believe it is. I think they are a championship-level team. They are in that top tier," he added.
