When it comes to taking the steps toward becoming an NBA title contender, the path that worked for one team doesn’t guarantee success for another.   The paths for the 2025 NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder or 2026 Western Conference champion Spurs – who built their teams through savvy trades and high draft picks after multiple consecutive losing seasons – won’t work for the Lakers.   3 Jayden Quaintance’s blend of size, length, athleticism, quick-twitch and strength made him a versatile and formidable defender in college.
