Luka and Kyrie were great together, and both guys absolutely needed the ball. Lebron can play off the ball far better than Kyrie can, and in his final years will have no problem adjusting his role in LA. I love Chuck, but the idea that Luka and Lebron can’t play with each other because they both demand the ball is a terrible, terrible take. Awful analysis.

Lakers can get Dwight Howard right now for dirt cheap who will play his heart out just to be back in the league. Thatβs a pickup the lakers need until they find a solid big man for the future 5:17
