& James has no say in building a team around 77! ESPN rating of Lakers this year s offseason operation: B

Recently, ESPN famous reporter Kevin Pelton wrote an article rating on the offseason operations of each team, among which the Lakers reached B-level.

"The Lakers' offseason operation revolves around the 26-year-old Luca Doncic, successfully introduced the 23-year-old Laravia, the youngest full free agent to transfer above the base salary, and signed DeAndre Aiton, who just turned 27. Marcus Smart, 31, is the oldest of Lakers' new players. Although the Lakers' new players did not perform as well as the Clippers' new players last season, they are more likely to become important long-term contributors to the team. The biggest question about the Lakers' offseason operation is what this means for 40-year-old superstar LeBron James. However, since James has implemented his player options, he does not have much say. For the Lakers, it is more important to convince Doncic to sign a new contract when he is eligible for renewal this weekend." Pelton wrote.
