On Ticket postgame I said Luka & Kai were instrumental in the great debuts of Gafford & PJ by playing to their strengths and putting them in spots to have success. The goal of that was addressed in JKidd’s pregame. Included that here plus his response to my ? about their roles. pic.twitter.com/5n1guCKpkl – 12:30 PM

Not sure Luka would say it, but seems like he gets really up for games vs Shai. Last two years, has obliterated OKC even above and beyond what is normal for him.
First game this year was his wild 36/15/18 game. Has definitely gotten the better of their matchup when they play. – 5:02 AM

More on this storyline
Moving forward, the Lakers plan to use the three picks that they will have available this summer — 2031, 2029 and either 2024 or 2025, depending on which pick the New Orleans Pelicans choose to receive as part of their return for 2019’s Anthony Davis trade — to pursue a star via trade. Three potential targets are Donovan Mitchell, Trae Young and Kyrie Irving, according to team and league sources. The Athletic has previously reported on the franchise’s interest in Young and Irving. -via The Athletic / February 10, 2024
