LA Lakers Build Around Luka Doncic for Next Championship Run

The Los Angeles Lakers of the post-LeBron James era face a crucial rebuilding period ahead. The franchise will need their new Big 3, led by Luka Doncic, to look dominant.

Their ultimate goal is securing the 18th championship ring after four seasons without playoffs. Doncic has already proven that he is a transcendent NBA star.

Meanwhile, Austin Reaves must reach a consistent All-Star level to support him. Giant center Walker Kessler also has to transform into an elite defensive presence under the basket.

Kessler is twenty-five years old and comes from playing only five games last season. He suffered a major tear in his left shoulder that required surgery and prematurely ended his campaign.
