The Lakers are happy, Doncic loses weight significantly, James injury improves, and management inspects the inside

Since being defeated in the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers' management has been under tremendous pressure. If we only retain the current lineup framework, considering that LeBron James and other players will be one year older next season, the Lakers will probably be unable to guarantee their playoff qualifications, and the management must be very clear about this.

Although the offseason has entered very early, the Lakers are still happy. What makes fans most happy is probably that the core player Luca Doncic has a very obvious weight loss effect. According to local Slovenian media reports, although the long offseason has not long been around, Luka Doncic has strict requirements on himself. He pays attention to indoor physical training and reasonably controls his diet. From the pictures on social media platforms, Luka Doncic can see that he has lost weight with his naked eyes.

Like most European players, Luca Doncic's figure will become a little fat. Although he has excellent talent, in the past few seasons, Luca Doncic's body shape control has been frequently questioned by the outside world and directly led to his cleansing by his old club. The questioners have similar attitudes, that is, Luca Doncic is too self-disciplined, which leads to frequent injuries. Even after joining the Lakers, Luca Doncic is a little unable to move forward, and has been repeatedly targeted on the defensive end. Even during the playoffs, he was once or habitually spread his hands and watched the opponent easily go up the empty basket. Now that Luca Doncic has worked hard to lose weight, it shows his attitude. It depends on whether there is a clear difference when returning to the court next season.

The second good news comes from another core of the Lakers, LeBron James. Although he was eliminated by the Timberwolves in the playoffs this year, to be fair, LeBron James' personal performance is excellent, not to mention that he is already 40 years old. In fact, in the series against the Timberwolves, LeBron James had a sprained left knee ligament, and it is said that he could not even deliberately train his lower limbs. Fortunately, LeBron James has admitted that his knee injury has improved significantly and will not have an impact on the journey of the new season. On the other hand, it also proves that LeBron James will continue his career as a player, rather than choosing to retire early as some people speculate.

In the end, the Lakers' management finally stopped stumbleing on their days this summer. Although the Lakers only had one second round 55 pick in the draft, the management was still examining the inside players. Among them, center Samson Johnson from the University of Connecticut has participated in the Lakers trial. Although such players may not be selected, it will be difficult to come in handy when they come, at least the Lakers management is very clear about where the team’s problems are, and the key is how to solve them.
