Crazy Bronny James update:

After scoring 17 points, recording five assists, and shooting 70% from the floor, James became the youngest Los Angeles rookie to reach those numbers since Magic Johnson all the way back in 1979.

Wasn't expecting too much from the new look Lakers. I love having Luka for the future, but in the short term they will suffer without any dominating force on defense. AD when healthy was amazing this year, but even after the trade he couldn't stay on the court for the Mavs. Clearly the Lakers knew they needed a solid center when they tried to trade Dalton Knecht for Mark Williams. Most of us Lakers fans were heartbroken to see the potential in Knecht traded away but we knew it was to make the team better defensively. It will be interesting to see what pieces they are willing to move to get a presence in the key.

The Lakers will be fine.

They will keep adding players around Luka and Lebron until he retires or decides to be traded.

Then, they will have a huge chunk of money to add another star.
