Luka > AD/Max, for now and most importantly the future. Having a player that can not only score in the clutch down the stretch but also be a force to be reckoned with makes an LBJ team scarily formidable to opponents.
The Lakers will miss Max as a role player but with Vando back, and seeing DFS start at SG against the Clips, seems to indicate that Max’s absence is covered.
Give me team B with Luka now that MWil has been added. _________________ When it’s a reasonable possibility, I expect the Lakers to go after a ship like it can’t be denied. I haven’t seen a respectable effort by the Front Office for the last two off seasons nor the last trade deadline. What is going on?

Lebron is already the clutch, unstoppable scorer down the stretch. William is no where the rim protector that AD is. So Luka handling the ball down the stretch isn't going to be very much better than Lebron doing it. However, our defense will definitely be worse without AD and with Bron and Luka on the floor at the same time.
Team A is 100% definitely better for TODAY. Team B is for the future like many have said and the future is uncertain. _________________ Lakers used to average one championship every four years under Dr. Buss but I'd gladly take one every ten years now.
You guys still don’t see that we have Bron and Luka to run the teams, they’re also surrounded by a gang of wings and a gang of bigs, oh there’s also 6th MOY level AR

I can't wait. Our offense might be unstoppable so if we just played a little bit of defense, we'd be able to outscore every team in the league. On papers, it seems that way at least. _________________ Lakers used to average one championship every four years under Dr. Buss but I'd gladly take one every ten years now.

Now that we have Williams, Hayes and hopefully stretch big Wood/Kleiber by playoff too, with our wings and a motivated Bron, our defense is gonna be above average too. I think either scenario we ARE better with a huge athletic big next to Hayes. Let’s get this #18 fever! _________________ “The main goal for the Lakers is to win a championship.

This is a good question! Both teams look really good. I'd go with the Luka team, because too many times in '23 and '24 in crunch time, the Lakers had an issue of not having enough shot creation due to LeBron's age and AD's singular flaw (imo).
I'm still worried about the team's PoA defense but the offense will be insane and you can balance things out by staggering AR and Luka as much as possible (in other words, playing Vincent next to Luka as much as possible).
