The Los Angeles Lakers spent the 2025 offseason hoping to put the finishing touches on a roster that can immediately contend. With Luka Doncic and LeBron James leading the charge, Los Angeles has a star duo to which few can compare, thus making the dream of competing for a title realistic.
As the Lakers attempted to plug the remaining holes on the roster, their efforts brought them to Marcus Smart—a player who can provide the physicality and toughness they needed in 2024-25.
Los Angeles doesn't have much to complain about on the roster front after acquiring Doncic in the midst of a 50-win season.
