The new season is about to begin. If nothing unexpected happens, the current lineup of each team in the league will basically not change much. The Lakers are one of the teams with a large number of signings this year. They signed seven players in a row during the offseason. The current Lakers' lineup has undergone a complete transformation compared to last season. Almost most of the team members have completed the cleaning last season, and the team’s age structure has become younger in the new season. Especially in terms of the substitute lineup, he almost completed a major change.
It is obvious that after James decided to renew the contract with the Lakers, the Lakers began to change their team building ideas. They still have to build a team to win the championship, although they failed to trade Westbrook in the offseason. However, the reinforcement on the back line is also very obvious. They got Beverly and Schroder . Especially after getting Schroder James was even more happy. Judging from the performance of James on social media, he was very excited about the team getting Schroder, and he was also smiling in the video. Schroder's joining has indeed been a significant help to improve the Lakers' strength in the new season. At least he has no absolute shortcomings in technology and is good at shooting breakthroughs.
The Lakers' starting lineup is still very strong in the new season. If nothing unexpected happens to the starting lineup, they will send Schroeder, Westbrook, James, Davis and Damian Jones . This lineup has impact and shooting ability on the back line. James and Davis still have very strong scoring dominance, and Damian Jones is also an insider with strong running and jumping skills in the inside. This lineup is stronger than last season. It can be considered very luxurious in lineup.
The most critical link for the Lakers next season is on the defensive end. If they can improve their defensive efficiency to the top ten in the league, then the Lakers have a high probability of reaching the playoffs . The Lakers have always been a team that drives offense with defense, especially when James is in the team, the quality of defense is very important. After all, James' scoring power is stronger in the process of rapid push and counterattack. If it falls into the half-court attack, this is not the style of play that the Lakers are good at.
Overall, the two focus of the Lakers next season. One is to avoid injuries, and the other is to reorganize the defense. As long as these two things are done, they can make it to the playoffs. And once you enter the playoffs, there are endless possibilities. In any case, the Lakers' operations will be stronger in this offseason than last season. As for what effect they can achieve, fans still need to wait and see.
