Paul Pierce Says the Lakers Fit Better Around Luka Doncic Without LeBron

Pierce argued the Lakers are “better off” without James because Luka and LeBron have overlapping styles. He said LeBron, now 41, isn’t the same defensive fit and that role players slot more naturally around Doncic’s game. Pierce added Austin Reaves gets freer offensively without James, while Danny Green disagreed, saying Los Angeles is still deeper with LeBron.
