Lakers reshape roster for Luka Dončić after LeBron James departure

The Los Angeles Lakers are making significant roster changes to surround Luka Dončić with a younger, deeper team following LeBron James' exit to Philadelphia. Key offseason moves include retaining Austin Reaves on a four-year, $180 million deal, acquiring Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz, and adding guards Collin Sexton and Quentin Grimes. The Lakers are focused on building a team capable of competing after James' departure, and questions remain about the overall health and fit of the new roster. The team has 16 players under contract and must reduce the number to 15 by the start of the season.
