Danny Green shares perspective on the new-look Los Angeles Lakers roster

Three-time NBA champion Danny Green offered his assessment of the Los Angeles Lakers following a turbulent 2026 offseason. The franchise moved on from long-time superstar LeBron James, along with roster pieces including Luke Kennard, Marcus Smart, Rui Hachimura, and Jaxson Hayes. In response, the front office acquired Walker Kessler via sign-and-trade and signed Collin Sexton, Matisse Thybullle, and Sandro Mamukelashvili to support new face-of-the-franchise Luka Doncic. While Green initially questioned the team’s direction, he now expresses moderate optimism regarding the group's potential as a regular-season unit. He noted, however, that the youth and relative inexperience of the roster present significant questions for the upcoming postseason. The Western Conference remains fluid as the Lakers transition into this era without LeBron James.
