The Lakers' reinforcement plan was released, Pelinka reaffirmed Doncic's status, and Pierce bluntly waived James

The Lakers' season is over, they are now entering the offseason, and management is about to start their offseason reinforcement plan. Through this year's playoffs, we can clearly feel that the Lakers' roster has obvious shortcomings, and they need to strengthen the interior in the offseason, which is their top priority. Pelinka admits that his first priority in the offseason is to add a starting center to the team.

And Pelinka once again emphasized Doncic's status on the team, and he admitted that he will build a roster around Doncic in the future. Head coach Redick also admitted that Doncic is the centerpiece of their future, and he hopes to win a championship with Doncic. So we're almost certain that the Lakers will enter the Doncic era.

After the Lakers season, many celebrities also imagined the future of the Lakers. Pierce said of the Lakers that if the Lakers want to be a championship contender, they have to get rid of James. What he means is that the Lakers must break free from the shackles of the James era, and it's time for the Lakers to usher in the Doncic era.

Although Doncic has become the absolute core of the Lakers, the Lakers have indeed started the Doncic era. But James is still very competitive, and he can still average 25.4 points, 9 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game in this year's playoffs. Both hits were outstanding. So James can still play for another 1~2 years. He can be Doncic's deputy to continue to push the Lakers to compete for championships and accomplish his goal of five championships.

Therefore, many fans believe that the Lakers will still build a roster with Doncic and James as the main body in the future, and Reaves may be a bargaining chip that can be traded this offseason. Because at the moment Reeves still has some trade value. The Lakers could trade Reaves for a decent interior player. The Lakers' operation can actually improve their immediate combat power, because judging from the performance in the playoffs, Reaves will not be able to adapt to the playoff confrontation, his performance will decline seriously, and the defensive end will be easy to target. When he leaves and then strengthens a rim-protected center, the Lakers' lineup is more reasonable. I wonder what the fans think?
