On September 20, with the end of the European Championship, Doncic also began to prepare for the regular season of the new season. During the European Championship, Jenny Bass and Pelinka took the initiative to visit Doncic, which also made Doncic very happy. In an interview, Doncic said: The support of the Lakers management and fans is incredible. This experience has made the connection between me and the Lakers closer, and all this means a lot to me.

Doncic completed weight loss this offseason. He wanted to provide more help on both offense and defense, and also hoped to keep himself healthy. Everyone has seen Doncic's performance in the European Championship. The average of 34.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 2.7 steals per game, the offense and defense data are very impressive. Relying on his outstanding performance, he was also selected for the best team, although Doncic still showed the problem of lack of physical fitness at the last moment of the game.

But considering Slovenia's use of him and the defensive strength of the European Championship, to be honest, more than 90% of players will have such problems. After all, Doncic does not use physical fitness more reasonably like in the NBA, and he must do his best on both offense and defense. Doncic's performance on the defensive end in the European Championship was impressive, and the Lakers worked as an assistant coach in Slovenia, talked about Doncic's performance, saying: Doncic was the best player in the team's defense during his time in the national team.

I hope Doncic can continue his defensive attitude in the national team to the regular season. Today, ESPN reporters talked about the connection between Doncic and the Lakers in the offseason. Pelinka said in an interview: If there is a smart way to make us a championship team next season, I will take action without hesitation. I believe that having these two players is an important moment for the team. We will do everything we can to win the 18th championship around Doncic and James. What actions will Pelinka take? According to ESPN reporters, the Lakers will start training camp with 14 players, including Hachimura, Vincent and Kleber, whose contracts are about to expire. The team can join one of their 31-year or 32-year first-round picks in potential trades. Sources revealed that with Doncic signing a long contract, the Lakers are willing to trade players whose contracts are 26 years later. It seems that this is really planning to strengthen.

And Hachimura, Vincent and Kleber may become trading chips. After all, many teams are willing to expire contracts, and Hachimura's forward line with excellent offensive capabilities is also what many strong teams want. Previously, the US media suggested that the Lakers exchange Hachimura and Kneckett for Wiggins, but there was no substantial progress. However, there are still teams in the league who are willing to trade for the forward line like Wiggins, but the price may be more expensive, like Grant.

At present, the Lakers will not change their current lineup. The team will wait until the regular season starts and consider how to strengthen according to the team's situation. They will focus on buying out the market and trading. If there is a good opportunity to win the right players, they will also do their best. In fact, Pelinka also understands whether James will choose to stay in the team in the 26-year offseason, and it is still unknown whether he wants to find a helper of this level for Doncic.

The Lakers also know the value of James. They just don't want to give James a 2+1 contract. If James chooses to execute the contract in the 27-year offseason, it will be difficult for the team to introduce big-name stars. In this offseason, Jokic and Antetokounmpo and other 10-person All-Star players have expired contracts. At that time, the Lakers will do their best to rely on their advantages in the big-name market to introduce a suitable big-name star to partner with Doncic, and form a grand team to win the championship in the future.

The Lakers are now starting to make their future deployment around Doncic, and James is also aware of it. Pelinka also highly recognizes Doncic's strength. He said in an interview: Through Doncic's performance in the European Championship, the entire basketball community clearly realizes that even if he is not the best player on the earth, he is also one of the candidates on this list. From the perspective of team building, we have always emphasized the importance of having the right to choose, and our current choices are applicable to both the present and the future.

It is worth mentioning that Gasol talked about James and Doncic in the show. Gasol said: The combination of Doncic and James is somewhat similar to ours, but it is also different. When I joined the Lakers, I was 27 years old, Kobe was 29 years old, and we were both at the peak. Doncic joined the Lakers at 25 years old, James was 39 years old, and now he is 40 years old. James still has oil in the fuel tank. The Lakers will build a team around Doncic in the next 10 years.

I hope Doncic can bring a new glorious period to the Lakers. After all, this team exists to strive for the championship. They exist for the traffic and attention of the entire NBA. Speaking of this, what do you want to say about the current Lakers? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
