The Lakers' projected starters after the Luka Doncic trade, including 1 glaring hole

The Los Angeles Lakers’ trade for Luka Doncic pairs one of the NBA’s brightest young players with one of the league’s greatest players ever, which is exciting for fans to think about. But once you get past the thrill of seeing Doncic and LeBron James on the same team, it’s also worth asking who’s starting next to them?

Parting with Anthony Davis leaves a glaring hole in the middle of a lineup that was already thin on bigs. Maxi Kleber, who the Lakers also acquired from Dallas, recently underwent foot surgery. That probably means they aren’t done making moves before the Feb. 6 trade deadline. Until then, here’s a look at what LA’s lineup looks like after the trade.
