Montrez Harrell: Lakers Now Clearly Belong to Luka Doncic
Former Lakers big man Montrez Harrell says LeBron James's exit has ended any doubt about team leadership and reshaped the roster around perimeter shooting.
LeBron James signs with the Los Angeles Lakers, settling the roster question.
"With LeBron gone, everyone knows who the face of the team is. Luka won't need to make extra effort to confirm his status. Modern NBA is about who fits with whom in terms of style of play. The new Lakers are a completely different team than a year ago or two or three years ago. Now they're building a team more oriented towards long-range shooting, unlike previous versions that dominated near the rim. The steps and changes they've made are aimed more at creating spacing on the floor and attacking the basket with shots from longer range," Harrell said.
