Inside the Luka Doncic trade + Lakers deadline plans

So I do, I wonder like if they ultimately build the ideal Luca team in the next two to three years, Can they sustain it is its own question, and only time will tell with that. But my understanding is they've switched from the LeBron timeline to the Luka timeline, and this is all about Luka moving forward. How can we build the best roster and the most sustainable roster around Luka?

And that's why I think had they not traded AD, maybe you would have seen a more win-now move this week to try and add a supporting role player. I think now it's more about we're not trying to add... like a mid-30s player who doesn't really fit with Luka's timeline. It's like, if we could add a younger center or something like that that fits, let's go do that.

I think I've come around to Robert Williams. I do think in talking to the Lakers and the Portland side, I think there's a little bit of a gap there in terms of how they view him. I think the Lakers, it would probably ideally be like multiple second round picks. And maybe there's a way they could do a smaller trade to get back some seconds and do that for Robert Williams.
