Veteran NBA Executive Sounds Alarm on Lakers’ Offseason: What Went Wrong?
— Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) July 12, 2025
The Lakers did make a significant move by signing former Portland Trail Blazers center DeAndre Ayton to a two-year, $16.6 million contract.
General manager Rob Pelinka views this as foundational for future championship runs, but the timeline creates friction with James’ immediate objectives.
James will turn 41 next season, making his championship window increasingly narrow.
He’s chasing his fifth ring with limited time remaining.
The current roster construction suggests the Lakers aren’t fully committed to maximizing this opportunity, despite having elite talent.
