“Just need a front office that can assemble the proper kind of team around Luka.”
“Just need some great defensive players around Luka.”
“Just need some great defensive players that can also hit a wide open three.”
“Just need some great defensive players that can hit open threes and put it on the floor occasionally to hit a wide open layup.”
So… when do folks start to think that maybe the problem is Luka?
Which player can drag a bad team and a bad front office into winning championships?
Not even MJ was able to do it. Closest was probably 2007 Lebron?
Which player do you think can replace Luka in current Lakers and would win a ring with them with next 2 years?
He is a legit franchise player who was won us the West at the age of 25.
There was a time when we overrated him a bit, putting him on different tier of a player to someone like Dirk for example, or ahead of a name like Jokix from current stars.
