LeBron’s standards are different than anyone. I don’t think the Lakers are pressed to find a star right now, even if LeBron takes a step back. Because even if he does, Luka will take a step forward and fill in the gaps in terms of star power. The Lakers need high quality depth right now imo. It will be Luka’s 10 year vet contract where the Lakers will go star hunting. They’d have a max cap slot by then and the math just gets a lot easier.
Agree.
They need just a good C and they will contend for at least the next 5/7 years.
