It's not easy to imagine. The two players have a story.
He is the main character of the blockbuster trade that shook last season.
The Los Angeles Lakers lost Davis to Dallas. I brought Doncic. They were key players in the trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas.
The Los Angeles Lakers are, of course, reorganizing their teams around Doncic. Even LeBron James was excluded from the team's future plan.
Dallason is also aiming to win, with Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis at the center. Cooper Flag, the No. 1 rookie draft player, came in as well. In other words, the possibility of Doncic and Davis together became even slimmer.
However, there is a good chance that the two players will be combined in two years.
ESPN recently checked the delicate situation of the Los Angeles Lakers.
The media reported on the 7th (Korea time) 'LA Lakers signed an extension contract of up to $165 million for three years with Luca Doncic. With Doncic at the center, the Los Angeles Lakers are trying to establish a sustainable model for winning the championship, 'There's still a lot of work to be done. The future plan of the Los Angeles Lakers is now the starting point.
After Doncic's extended contract, Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka said 'Another task is needed to strengthen the team's power. We have to keep improving.
In other words, we need players who can maximize efficiency of Doncic. We need two things. First of all, it is a powerful rim running center favored by Doncic. The second is even more important. It's a one-two punch that can ease the burden of Doncic and lead the team with him.
According to the media 'on and off data, Doncic recorded the greatest efficiency during his time in Dallas with Derek Lively II. Doncic says, 'Efficiency is maximized in pick-and-roll situations where you can do a lobbing pass' and the other is a knockdown shooter. Doncic created the most corner three-point shooting chances in the corner.
In other words, two types of players are needed, one of which must be a key player who can lead the offense and defense with Doncic.
The current roster of the Los Angeles Lakers has a lot of weaknesses. If LeBron leaves, the weakness intensifies. However, with an active team reorganization, the Los Angeles Lakers can create nearly $100 million in salary cap space in 2027.
ESPN said the Los Angeles Lakers are aiming for the summer of 2027. Yannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, Nikola Jokic, Karl-Anthony Towns, Donovan Mitchell and former Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis could be FA in the summer.
Antetokounmpo has many teams to aim for. There is also loyalty to Milwaukee. The chances of the Los Angeles Lakers bringing him to the FA are low. The same goes for Curry and Jokic. There are Towns and Mitchell, but efficiency must be weighed under Doncic.
There is Davis. If Dallas' plan goes awry, the Los Angeles Lakers have a better chance of bringing Davis. Dallas needs nearly a year of rehabilitation due to Irving's injury. Flag is a player with great potential, but he is still a rookie.
