What can Lakers learn from each NBA conference finalist? Be bold, but smart

New York Times  

As the Los Angeles Lakers continue their coaching search and offseason preparation, the NBA’s conference finals are ongoing. The parallels might be strongest with the 2009 and 2010 championship Lakers teams, though — a point Bomani Jones made on TNT’s Western Conference finals Altcast. For what it’s worth, three of the top four playoff teams in 3-point attempts per game are in the conference finals. If the Lakers are unable or unwilling to trade for a third star, Dallas’ blueprint makes the best case that they should instead make deals to enhance their supporting cast around James and Davis. Every conference finalist — Minnesota with Rudy Gobert, Dallas with Irving, Boston with Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porziņģis and Indiana with Siakam — traded at least one first-round pick to add an All-Star-caliber player over the past two seasons.
