Markieff Morris traded to the Lakers with Luka Doncic and Maxi Kleber while Dalton Knecht was sent back to the team after his trade with Charlotte for Mark Williams collapsed.

The two were now teammates, the veteran and the rookie, Morris traded with the Lakers .

LeBron James : "I missed him. I'm just happy to have him back. He's seeing it".

James had gone on deep runs with head coaches in their first year with the Lakers twice before, winning a title with Frank Vogel and going to the conference finals with Darvin Ham .

The Lakers, after both seasons, balked at re-signing those players in favor of ones they felt could better contribute on the court.

Not every veteran is able to lead the same way as Morris , but the Lakers know much he will matter as they chase a championship.
