There's a ton of moving pieces to the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis deal but one interesting bit of fallout from the blockbuster trade is the proliferation of people willing to say that adding Doncic will not make the Los Angeles Lakers better.
Doncic is, at the very worst, the fourth-best player in the NBA with the capacity to be the very best on any given night. And sure, the Lakers will have some defensive liabilities to clean up in the form of acquiring a rim protector that somewhat resembles Davis, there is only one basketball to share and any other legitimate reason for concern is not to be outright dismissed.
