A big expectation for the new season - that omnipotent Doncic is about to return to the NBA stage

The Lakers were not extremely aggressive in the trading market during the offseason, but they signed No. 1 center Ayton and former Dpoy Smart in the free market, and the team's internal and external strength has been greatly improved.
According to previous reports, the Lakers' current focus is to build a team around Doncic, and they have to find a way to reach an early contract renewal with him; this is one of the reasons why the management has not reached an early contract renewal with James. It is likely that it will be possible that James will be able to free up more salary space until next year's offseason, so as to make heavyweight reinforcements.
This means that the Lakers may have to transition from the James era to the Doncic era, after all, this is a younger team number one character.
But it would be a pity to lose James in vain, but considering that he is over 40 years old, his career has reached the critical point of retirement; sending him away may not be able to return a good bargaining chip, after all, there is only less than one season of use. Unless James takes the initiative to ask for a deal, and the team that accepts him is willing to meet James' needs, the two sides have to reach a new contract renewal to exchange something for the Lakers.
As the Lakers' well-deserved core of the next several seasons, Doncic has the responsibility to lead this team back to the top, and he also has such strength. In addition, Alexander, the defender of the same class, has won the MVP and the championship trophy. It is absolutely fake to say that Doncic is not in a hurry. After 7 seasons of debut, Doncic won most of the top honors in basketball, and once became a popular figure in MVP, leading the team to the finals. But the team's record is not very outstanding, which is also the core reason that restricts him from winning the MVP trophy, but he has such an opportunity in the new season.
According to reports, Doncic successfully lost weight and appeared on the cover of Male Health magazine; he quipped himself that the Mavericks had already seen it; he also said bluntly that he hoped that Summer's efforts would keep him dominant and shut up those who criticized his physical fitness.
Looking back on the past season, Doncic's body size has obviously become fat, and his offensive efficiency has declined. This is the change brought about by weight gain, which will affect the shooting feel.
After this summer's efforts, Doncic looked so thin that his arms looked long, and visually, his whole body looked better.
After the new season arrives, we will definitely see that Doncic will become the absolute core of the Lakers. In addition, in a big city, its exposure and commercial value will also rise. If he can lead the Lakers back to the top, win the first regular season MVP of his personal career, and even lead the team to win the championship, his personal historical status will soar. Perhaps this is why Doncic has worked so hard to reduce weight this summer. Since his career debut, he has played a total of 450 regular season games, averaging 28.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 46.8% and a three-point shooting percentage of 35%. He has played in a total of 55 playoff games, averaging 30.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.6 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 46.1% and a three-point shooting percentage of 34.7%. Judging from the data comparison, the offensive efficiency is not much different in the playoffs or the regular season; the offensive scoring output in high-end games will be higher, which is an absolute top scorer.
After successfully losing weight, one can maintain the shooting feel, and the other can reduce the probability of injury; for Doncic, who has not yet entered the golden period of his corporate career, this is a very wise choice.
The Lakers' team building configuration can be completely referenced to the Mavericks in the 23-24 seasons. While ensuring the defensive level of the internal and external lines, they also need to improve the three-point shooting ability of the outside line, so as to maximize Doncic's offensive deterrence.
Of course, considering that Doncic will experience slow return and his habit of spreading his hands to complain in high-end games, he still has to learn from the fat man who retreated from the Nuggets in emotional control, so that he can truly grow into a top core superstar.
But it is still foreseeable that Doncic, who is omnipotent on the offensive end, will return to the NBA stage in the new season.
