Sort of an end of a season this for the Lakers. I really thought they were primed to win a series or two. They struggled more than I expected. I was traveling out of the country and this week busy, so I did not watch any of the games to give any analysis. It was nice having a little basketball break.
The Lakers are still set up well pretty well moving forward. Nico allowed then to move from a questionable future into one where there is a legit chance moving forward. There will be challenges though to even build a team to his former team though. They are the Lakers and things tend to pop up for them. It is tricky though. They are best looking past Lebron, but that opens up a lot of issues. Lebron is still really good and I think he will cause frustration if he feels the Lakers are building for post Lebron. Luka may be great for 10 years. He should be, but can they build a legit contender for the next 3-4 years? I don’t think Luka wants to be on a good team. He wants to compete now.
