Just his soul

 

I don’t see the Lakers giving all their cap space to one player unless it’s a star and they already have those.

 

6. Los Angeles Lakers

2025-26 record: 50-26

Previous ranking: 5

Next games: @ OKC (April 2), @ DAL (April 5), vs. OKC (April 7)

The Lakers have two races they will try to win as they sprint toward the finish line. The first is holding off Denver, Minnesota and Houston to keep the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. The other is continuing to make a case for Luka Doncic to be named MVP for the first time in his career. Lakers coach JJ Redick said this week that if Los Angeles and Doncic stay as hot as they've been down the stretch, then "to me, he is the MVP." -- Dave McMenamin

Luckily Smart's been hurt in a weird way and I guess Luka got a one game break with the techs but really wish JJ can start sitting these guys.
AR and Lebron especially need rest man - Luka even came out saying he doesn't want to start the playoffs as the team need a break
