With many changes during the offseason, the Lakers will have decisions to make between now and the resumption, especially in training camp. A starting place should be played according to The Athletic, and an upheaval is relatively close. We take stock.
The Lakers have been very active for this start of free agency, with the arrivals of Gabe Vincent, Taurean Prince, or the extensions of D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves. A signing of Christian Wood in the racket to finish it off, and you could say the Angelinos’ summer is near perfect. We don’t know if it’s enough to win the title, however, the front office will have done its best with its means.
Surprise at the position of leader for the Lakers?
For now, there are still some doubts about the future of the franchise, and more particularly the composition of the starting 5. LeBron James and Anthony Davis can rest easy, which is less the case for DLo according to information shared by Jovan Buha, working for the media The Athletic. In a recent paper, the journalist explains that a battle at post 1 exists.

Criticized, the Lakers’ imminent strong decision on Anthony Davis: “They will…
Jovan Buha : “It’s a fairly open competition and Vincent has a real chance of coming to get this job as a starter. He’s a better defender than Russell and he knows how to play off the ball while being a shooting threat. Unlike Russell, Vincent should not be penalized in the playoffs because of his defense, as he was able to show at the Heat. »
The Lakers did not give more than 30 million to Vincent for nothing, he who will be in the worst case an important element off the bench. But if he is successful, and he manages to seduce Darvin Ham in September, we understand that he will be rewarded. The supporters have made their choice on their side:
Gabe SHOULD be the starter. DLO is an ideal 6th man.

Gabe should be the starter. DLO is an ideal sixth man.
Nothing is settled so far with the Lakers, who are planning a few tests during training camp. Despite his contract, D’Angelo Russell will have to prove that he is the man for the job, or Gabe Vincent will steal his place. Nothing to displease the fans obviously.
