The Lakers are starting to build around Luka… Them and the Dallas Mavericks are in advanced discussions on a trade sending Daniel Gafford to LA for Jarred Vanderbilt, Dalton Knecht, and a 2031 1st round pick.
I wonder when we’ll get the LeBron news…
It will be great if the Lakers can get Gafford. Those two have good chemistry during Luka's stint with the Mavericks. It can become like Lob City with him, and Gafford's defense is not to be messed with.
I think teams today will start considering getting big men. Because of Wemby's showcase of inside defense and offense, it will be tough to have someone to face against him. It has shown how many players do not even think about pushing the offense in the paint because of Wemby. But if someone big can box him out, it will offer a way for those who are trying to attack.
I believe this can become the era of big men again. We will see how this team will form a new strategy to defeat something that big, considering he now has the experience of the Finals and will probably be better next season and the years to come.
