The Los Angeles Lakers have a ton of top-end talent between LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and Austin Reaves. They have maybe more star power than any other team out West. But what separates the Lakers from teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets, and San Antonio Spurs is depth. Until they address that, it's hard to view them as real title contenders.
Thankfully, they have a clear path to achieving that depth this offseason. Between AR-15 and Doncic, the Lakers have enough scoring and playmaking to the point where spending nearly a third of the team's cap space on LeBron is counterproductive.
