According to The Ringer reporter Michael Pina, the Los Angeles Lakers need to add some more talented veteran players around LeBron James in the coming offseason so that the Lakers can remain competitive enough next season.

Pina said that from the current situation, the Lakers have only added two players this offseason, Dalton Knecht and Bronny James, both of whom are rookies selected by the Lakers in this year's NBA draft. Therefore, Pina is very curious about how the Lakers will tap the potential of young players next season. However, although the Lakers did not introduce any veteran players, the wing star Knecht, who was selected by the team at the 17th pick in the first round of this year's NBA draft, is considered a player with high immediate combat effectiveness. The Lakers can use this pick to select him as a leak. In addition, if young players such as Max Christie, Maxwell Lewis or Jalen Hood-Schifino can show enough competitiveness, they may also be able to make an impact on the rotation lineup or be regarded as potential bargaining chips in big deals.
