Why The Los Angeles Lakers Do The Deal

Meanwhile, this deal would make for an entire facelift for the Los Angeles Lakers. With that said, they may need one. 

After all, this team won a shockingly disappointing 33 games last season. It’s popular to put most of the blame on Russell Westbrook, and to be sure, he deserves plenty of it. With that said, Anthony Davis’ 16.9% shooting from downtown didn’t help matters either. 

All told, the Lakers suffered from a serious lack of spacing in 2021-22. For a team featuring LeBron James, that’s a massive problem. James is one of the best playmakers in the NBA, and he’s always been maximized by being surrounded by floor-spacers. 

This deal helps the Lakers build a roster that actually fits with their best player’s abilities. Myles Turner isn’t as well-rounded an offensive player as James, but he is a more reliable threat from downtown.

Moreover, James already has ample chemistry with Kyrie Irving – in fact, they won a championship together with the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

Parting with Anthony Davis would be bold, but for this return, it could make the Lakers a better team in 2022-23.
