McMenamin Luka Doncic on what the Lakers 1-5 have missed the most in the preseason that theyll need for regular season success Obviously I think the physicality

Perkins Whether it's being out of shape or him dealing with some type of injurywhen it comes to being reliable Luka is starting to get in that territory of Joel Embiid When you need him the most and it comes postseason time he's not available and if he is available he is never close to 70

Max Kellerman and Antonio Daniels would rather have Jalen Brunson over Luka Doncic if they wanted to win a championship I would say Brunson The reason Id say that is because Ive seen Brunson play with and without the ball

Pelinka What did those teams Detroit San Antonio and OKC have to go through to build through the draft Multiple seasons of losses and that is just not part of our infrastructure here As much as some of us might want it to be that way its not the Lakers way

2025-2026 Luka Doncic

Sam Presti If there is one thing I'm a little frustrated about besides not winning the final quarter of the season is I think we lost out on a lot of team development

Lakers allow a wide open layup and Doncic bows his head in disappointment
