Los Angeles Lakers fans were over the moon when LA acquired Luka Doncic less than a calendar year ago in a trade that people are still writing about. On paper, the idea of Luka teaming up with LeBron James screamed "superteam", but the reality of the situation has been different.
Luka's offensive arsenal hasn't become any less dangerous in a purple and gold uniform, but Lakers fans have become uncomfortably acquainted with his defensive shortcomings. Furthermore, the LeBron-Luka timeline being way off is more of an inconvenience than fans initially considered.
