Three newbies are in charge, the Lakers are creating a youth storm, and James’ Lakers retirement tour is difficult

Doncic had 29 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals, Reeves had 26 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists, and Laravia had 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 steals. Relying on the outstanding performance of the three little whites, the Lakers defeated the Heat at home and overtook the Trail Blazers for three consecutive victories to rise to third place in the Western Conference.
The way the Lakers play now is really pleasing to the eye, with many engines, many ways to score, and a fast pace without any lag. You must know that the Heat are the fastest team in the league, but the Lakers are not lagging behind at all, and are even faster at times.

Doncic, who has lost weight, is still invincible on the offensive end, his defensive pace has become faster, his passing is even more elusive, and he is very versatile. Only the Mavericks will let such a star go.
The evolved Reeves is as good as Doncic in terms of golf skills. He is even more stable at critical moments and his three-pointers are more accurate. He will never flinch when it is time for him to take action. Of course, he will also observe the position of his teammates and allow them to score comfortably. The goal for Bronny explains everything.
Laravia, the biggest surprise of this season, I thought he was a parallel import, but I didn't expect him to be so advanced. His defense is better than Reeves, and he also has rebounds and frame protection. He is very comprehensive. If he is given the ball and tactical status, the data will be unimaginable. During the three-game winning streak, Laravia averaged 21.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.7 steals per game.

After this battle, the Lakers are more certain of Doncic's core position. Reeves can be the second in command. Then look at Laravia's subsequent performance. If he can stabilize, the third in command will be his. The three of them are all so young and have a promising future. If you build a team around them, there is hope for a championship. What's more important is that they are all novices and they are in Los Angeles and have great commercial value.
So it would be more difficult for James to do a retirement tour with the Lakers than that. The management will definitely not agree. The team can compete for the championship and it will definitely not be a mess. In addition, not renewing the contract with James also shows everything. You are no longer our captain. The business alliance is so cruel.
