Yes he do please luka

Itโs Definitely Tatum.
Luka has been on weak teams for the start of his career and heโs made them better. Heโs made deep playoff runs with Ky and Brunson. Luka has proved he can carry a team run an offense and effect the game in many ways.
Tatum has been blessed since he walked in the league always had a leg up with Bostonโs rotation of players never missed the ecf. People down played JB nah Tatum gotta prove he can carry a team.

No Luka is in L.A that’s like being in New York the job comes with pressure
@jahmallmarshall2215
July 2, 2026 at 2:06 pm
@Detroitking1987 luka has been doing this since he was 15 on a professional level give him solid guys that can catch the ball heโs going to the finals easy. He doesnโt take away from to the game he adds to it heโll be fine.
@Detroitking1987
July 2, 2026 at 2:10 pm
@jahmallmarshall2215 ๐ His defense takes away from the game
@jahmallmarshall2215
July 2, 2026 at 2:15 pm
@Detroitking1987 he avgs 2 steals a game and thatโs above league avg.
Luka has โbad defenseโ against small guards because theyโre faster. Heโs 6โ7 he should be guarding 2-4 which he does well doing.
Luka reads the floor and catches a lot transition passes and have solid floor positioning for defense.

@Detroitking1987 not every star is a 2 way player very rare like PG, Kawhi or JB.

Perk youโre crazy this is actually Lukaโs first year without Bron the pressure is not on him the pressure is going to be on youโre boy Bron if he gets another super team and still donโt win a championship then he really needs to retire ASAP โคโค๐๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐
@basketballgod2791
July 2, 2026 at 1:23 pm
Leave Luka Donฤiฤ with no draft picks and then say the pressure is on him LMAO they better hope Walker Kessler turns into a monster if not, thatโs gonna be one of the worst contracts in the next few years
@MikeScotty1900
July 2, 2026 at 1:33 pm
Sure Is not sure why we didnโt just go out and get a Myles Turner or Keโel Ware. However Kessler role Is significantly reduced on this Laker squad so versus what they were asking in Utah.. I mean we donโt need him shooting 3s but thatโs cool too lol.. I said Jalen Duren or Myles Turner, Keโel Ware but whatโll be funny Is watch this team be hella efficient ๐๐
@basketballgod2791
July 2, 2026 at 2:01 pm
@MikeScotty1900 youโre missing the point you do need him to be all of that because you spent all of your money on him. What donโt you understand about that and you gave up your future you do need him to do more than what you thought was asking him because you paid him that much.

@mj-dr8cj
July 2, 2026 at 1:25 pm
With this roster (after these pseudo-reinforcements), Luka won’t sign anything because he won’t win anything here. Unless I’m looking for over 400M and only want to show off in LAL at the expense of results.
@Vosovogalsyncope
July 2, 2026 at 1:26 pm
Nobody can guard him, all his guys need to do is slash or hit the open 3 and that is a trip to the conference finals.
@ZayKing-z2f

he canโt guard either neither can reaves and theyโre big 3 is injury prone

โ@ZayKing-z2ffirst of all, Offensive game is at least
80% ,second Luka gets almost 3pl double every game, mainly rebounds among top 10! He’s not a on ball defender but he’s bigger than other point guards and plays positional team defense!
As do most of players whose team depends on availability of their super star! Nobody was talking about defense, until Joker, Luka started to intimidate athletic NBA ๐

Hard to win when its 3v5 on defense lol
@justinlundmark7879
July 2, 2026 at 1:29 pm
I hear Perk, and I agree with him. At the same time, he didn’t tell the organization to trade their future in order to get a better center than DA. It’s not even primarily his fault if this group fails without future options. That’s on the front office.
@Richard-pm8sd
July 2, 2026 at 1:58 pm
Unfortunately, thatโs what happens when everyone knows youโre desperate for a center, they will try their best to fleece the lakers as much as they can, especially since thereโs few teams in the NBA thatโs willing to part with their center
@MeMe-jq3ky
July 2, 2026 at 2:03 pm
Because bron is realy looking at the future. He needs to win right now. Hes not winning after this year as the man on any team.
@beancakess
July 2, 2026 at 2:10 pm
He asked for an A list center for this season. The closest thing to A list was Kessler or Duren and they were desperate to make Luka happy. He asked for this

Sybau, we donโt careโฆ.he has to get it done just like all the other great players before him that had to get done. No oven mitts for the white boys ๐คท๐ฟ
@gibby-4532
July 2, 2026 at 3:13 pm
@beancakessLuka wants to win and have an organization build around him like how the Celtics built around Tatum and brown or how the Knicks vbuildt around Brunson or how the thunder or spurs build around sga and wemby. How can you put it on Luka when his roster hasnโt been as good as either of those 4 his whole career and even this upcoming year considering talent and defensive infrastructure
@deecoley4613
July 2, 2026 at 1:41 pm
It’s not Luka. How can it be Luka when he never even asked to be in this situation. He never asked to be traded to LA or for Bron to bail out. If Tatum didn’t step up to make sure they kept Brown this he want it this way. Plus Luka is a defensive liability and those type of players never win this big one(James harden).
@lawdbo3426
July 2, 2026 at 2:38 pm
Sybau, thatโs like saying you donโt have to deliver a championship to the team that drafted you because you didnโt asked to be drafted there. The pressure is on, if he is a great, then deliver. We notice how yaโll have oven mitts for the white boys in the league ๐

Luka and AR15 is not that athletic, and the body can’t handle a full season and playoff run. They made too many mistakes this off-season. They got a bunch of yes men and overpriced pieces. ๐

July 2, 2026 at 3:48 pm
I acutally say Tatum because people view it like they got rid of the problem on they team now our guy can be the star. So to me its Tatum he has to be healthy and do what brown did this year by being in the mvp race
@dsT_Tsb
