LeBron James' time in Los Angeles has most likely come to an end, unless the Lakers shockingly choose to run it back with the 41-year-old.
The focus now shifts to building around Luka Doncic in this new era, and how the franchise can put together a contender for next season.
The 2026 free agent class does not feature a lot of big names, which brings focus to the trade market that is headlined by Giannis Antetokounmpo. Could the Greek Freak be heading to Hollywood? It's quite possible, since Giannis' relationship with the Bucks is now deeply fractured.
If not Giannis, there are several top players the Lakers could trade for and pair Luka with. It's all about how much value the front office can put around Luka. The ball is now firmly in GM Rob Pelinka's court.
