Charles Barkley: Lakers Roster Rivals Mavs' Finals Team
Barkley says Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves can lead the Lakers to a strong season, comparing the roster to Dallas' 2024 NBA Finals squad.
Charles Barkley says he expects the Lakers to be competitive next season, comparing the current roster to the Dallas side Luka Doncic took to the 2024 NBA Finals.
"I really hope things work out for the Lakers. I'm a big fan of Luka and Austin Reaves. I think they'll be better than people expect. Luka and Kyrie took the Mavs to the Finals. This team is probably better. Or just as good. They'll be fine. Will they win the title? I don't think so. But the league looks a lot better when the Celtics, Lakers and Knicks are good," Barkley said.
