This offseason, many teams are reinforcing their squads to gear up for the championship next season. Last season, a monumental trade took place in the league, namely the exchange of Davis and Luka Doncic. Fans are very excited about Doncic potentially guiding the Lakers to a title, but the Lakers faced significant roster shortcomings last season. After losing Davis, they lacked a strong finishing and rim-protecting presence, leading to an early playoff exit.

This offseason, the Lakers made three significant moves, which are crucial for addressing their weaknesses, essentially leaving them with minimal shortcomings. The Lakers acquired Ayton, Larravia, and Smart during this offseason. The Lakers managed to obtain these three players without sacrificing too much. Pelinka has once again executed successful operations in the buyout market, and many fans believe he is indeed a genius in this area.

After acquiring these three players, the Lakers effectively enhanced their interior strength and wing defense. Ayton's addition will significantly boost the Lakers' finishing ability and rim protection. Smart is also an exceptional defensive player, with solid three-point shooting skills, making him a valuable 3D player. It's worth noting that Smart has previously won the Defensive Player of the Year award; although he is now older, his defensive fundamentals remain intact. Smart's arrival can improve the Lakers' perimeter defense while compensating for the loss of Finney-Smith.

Although the Lakers did not land any superstar players this offseason, these three acquisitions will have a noticeable qualitative impact on the team, giving them a chance to contend for the championship next season. LeBron also has an opportunity to secure his fifth championship in his career. For the Lakers, their ability to compete for the title next season hinges on the chemistry between Doncic and Ayton. Additionally, LeBron may need to cede more control, as his average playing time must be reduced to maintain his efficiency on the court. What do fans think about this?
