## Resource

First Take resumes with a Lakers lookahead post LeBron. If he does leave, can a Luka/Reaves backcourt win multiple playoff rounds. What type of free agents should they look to add to that deadly duo? Then, if Kawhi goes back to the Raptors, would they even be contenders in the East?

Next, which offseason NBA trade will make the biggest immediate impact next season? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
