Danny Green explained what Luka Doncic, LeBron James needed to improve Lakers' level

After losing a third consecutive game on Monday, former Lakers champion Danny Green explained what the Lakers need to help Luka Doncic and LeBron James win more games.

“LeBron [James] is 40 years old now, so he can’t do it anymore. He needs help. When you have Bron and Luka [Doncic] and those guys and Austin Reaves, you need a guy to protect the rim. And right now, they don’t have that. To win games, those Big 3, they really have to perform well on the offensive end and hit on all cylinders.”

The win against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference puts the Lakers back on track, but they need to build on this team to gain momentum.
