"Luka is not built to play off the ball. LeBron can play off the ball, Austin Reaves can play off the ball. It's not ideal, Austin Reaves is better on the ball, so they're going to have segments of the game where he gets to run things.

Lakers fans are excited about the prospect of Luka Doncic being the face of the franchise for many years, but he needs to sign an extension soon.

The Lakers are 31-19 without Doncic this season and have proved that they can compete, with or without him. Now, adding Doncic truly changes the dynamic for the better. However, Windhorst saying that they should have a “free pass” this season simply doesn't make sense.
