The idea of LeBron James reuniting with Kevin Love in Los Angeles sounds like a Hollywood sequel waiting to happen. It checks all the right boxes.
Nostalgia? Check. Chemistry? Check. Veteran leadership? Check. However, not everyone is buying it, especially not Lakers reporter Jovan Buha.

The Lakers have already clearly shifted their identity. This team is no longer built around LeBron; it is being re-constructed around Luka Doncic.
That is why, according to Buha, Maxi Kleber remains a more practical and necessary piece than Love.
