Meiji Analysis: Next year will become the only chance for the Lakers to win the championship in ten years! 4 reasons: 40 James last try

On June 13, Laker Tom reporter Tom Calder, a long article, analyzed that the Los Angeles Lakers will be the only chance to win the championship in the next 10 years. He listed four reasons, each of which is a long discussion, and here I will list the central idea.

Why is next season the best opportunity for the Lakers to win the championship:

1. The balance of the league will not last forever

Young teams like the Thunder will spring up like mushrooms after a rain. The Thunder won 68 wins this season and entered the finals. Teams such as the Spurs and Rockets with many young talents and many future first-round pick assets will also rise rapidly. They will inevitably replace veteran teams such as the Lakers, Green Kai, Nuggets, and Bucks to become the top teams in the league.

26-year-old Doncic cannot win by himself, and Pelinka needs to form a team with balanced offense and defense for him. He must do his best this summer, and the starting lineup and 10-man rotation need to be improved.

2. LeBron James' irreplaceable nature

It is said that LeBron, 40, is old, but he still maintains the top 15 or even top ten this season. He is still the irreplaceable second star of the Lakers, but LeBron cannot continue this state for too long. LeBron is 41 years old next season. If he wants to compete for his fifth championship in his career and the Lakers' second championship ring, he has to try his best.

Whether LeBron retires next summer or not, next season may be his last year to maintain the top ten in the league, and the Lakers need to seize this opportunity.

3. The offseason is about to usher in a hottest offseason this summer. 75% of the teams will become buyers. Shams predicts that this summer will become one of the craziest offseasons in history. The Lakers can chase the inside, wing and backcourt they need in the trading market and free market, as long as they are willing to give Reeves, Kneckett, future first-round picks, and future first-round swap rights.

Pellinka needs to be willing to "stuck" everything in exchange for the right players. The competition this summer will be cruel, but the Lakers must make changes.

4. The huge pressure of going all out

Pellinka is facing tremendous pressure. LeBron has not yet determined the option to execute the player. He can refuse to execute the player option to become a complete free agent. Doncic can renew his contract with the Lakers in advance after August 2, but he has not yet promised to renew his contract with the Lakers. Pelinka knows that if Doncic leaves the Lakers, he will be fired as well.

The source of these pressures is also the irrationality of the lineup. Pelinka needs to match the lineup for James and Doncic at all costs. He can only keep these two super giants by making them believe that the Lakers have the possibility of winning the championship. So the Lakers have the best chance to win the championship next season.
