The Los Angeles Lakers are beginning to build their future around Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves after moving on from LeBron James. It has been an eventful summer, with significant turnover throughout the roster as Los Angeles looks to create a team capable of competing for championships.
Doncic is excited about what is ahead for the Lakers, but he also wants to win now.
"Dončić being just 26 gives the Lakers a far longer timeline to build a championship-contending team, but that doesn't mean they can slow down and take their time. Dončić told Lakers president Rob Pelinka and coach JJ Redick in May that he's not interested in taking the slow approach in building a contender," CBS Sports' Jasmyn Wimbish wrote.
On Wednesday, the Denver Nuggets traded Peyton Watson to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a five-team deal. The move left Denver without one of its most promising young players and raised questions about the team's long-term direction alongside Nikola Jokic.
