Unstoppable Forces: Which 7 NBA Duos Will Dominate the 2025-26 Season?

That wasn’t the case last season, when Doncic was shockingly traded to Los Angeles at the February deadline — the Lakers had a +2 net rating when they shared the court. Defense was what held them back.

Now, with a full training camp to iron out the kinks, expectations are high in Los Angeles (they always are with Lakers fans), especially with “skinny” Luka showing up to camp. However, defense remains the primary concern: Doncic is a solid team defender but can be targeted individually, LeBron can dial up stretches of defense still but is no longer a consistent force on that end, and another starter in Austin Reaves is a target. That’s going to put a lot of pressure on new center DeAndre Ayton to clean up issues in the paint and around the rim. How coach J.J. Redick handles this team’s defense will be one of the key questions of the season.
