So I don't think they're going to make some type of win now move in terms of like, here's a first round pick for a 30 year old center, a 33 year old, like, I think they're looking at guys in their late 20s and younger, and guys who can play with Luka longer term. So If they do make a bigger move here, I think it'll be for a younger player.
But I would temper expectations a bit and probably look at maybe them trying to find like a bargain center and then kind of just going forward and seeing what you can do with this group. But they're certainly like defensively, they're relying on Jared Vanderbilt, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Gabe Vincent.

I like each of those guys individually, but to have those be your top three defenders, I think there's a clear limitation there. And then size-wise, specifically at the center spot, it's problematic.

Yeah, I mean, it feels like to me that this is sort of like a breakup and one side trying to get out and explain the reasons why they broke up with the other person. But it just hasn't really... carried much weight in no, you know, no pun intended here. Like, but like, as you said, like Luca could be smoking a cigarette on the court.

And it's like, you give that guy the super max and you fit, like you figure it out later. And I just, I don't understand it. I mean, I've heard similar things, weight conditioning, work ethic, leadership, attitude, mindset, like all those things have been floating out there. But I also think from the Lakers side, like they're optimistic that,

If there is one player that can maybe change some of those things with Luka, and to your point, maybe he just is who he is and none of this is going to change, but he loves LeBron. He said it in his rookie press conference. LeBron is his idol. LeBron is a guy he's looked up to. He's tried to model his game after.

So learning from LeBron, the athlete who is arguably taking the best care of his body, in, in history, you know, invest a million dollars every summer in his body. Like that's a guy that I think the Lakers are optimistic. Like if Luca can learn from that example and we've seen like even Kyrie and 80 for, you know, the, you know, they have their quirks, what we'll say, uh,

Those guys have talked about learning from LeBron and the impact he's had on them. So I think the Lakers are optimistic that Luke is still 25. He's not even yet in his prime.
