In the fierce competition in the Western Conference, in addition to the strong Nuggets, there is another team that is equally eye-catching - that is the Los Angeles Lakers.
Su Qun, a well-known basketball commentator, recently spoke highly of the strength and potential of the Lakers in an interview, believing that they are the most dangerous team in the West except for the Nuggets.

So, what is it about the Lakers that makes Su Qun so optimistic?
The Lakers' roster depth is a big advantage for them. After bringing in a number of strong players, the Lakers' roster has become more balanced and comprehensive. Whether it's inside or outside, they have an excellent player reserve. This depth of squad allows them to cope with all kinds of unexpected situations in the game and maintain a stable competitive form.

The Lakers' tactical system is also one of the keys to their success. Under the careful planning of the coaching staff, the Lakers' tactical play not only focuses on teamwork, but also gives full play to the individual characteristics of the players. They were able to flexibly adjust their tactics according to different opponents and situations in the game, showing a high degree of adaptability and execution.

The form of the Lakers' players is also a reflection of their strength. Before the start of the season, the Lakers successfully retained the core of the team through a series of signings and contract extensions, and brought in some experienced veterans. These players showed excellent competitive form in the game and contributed to the Lakers' victory.

To sum up, the reason why the Lakers are considered the most dangerous team in the West besides the Nuggets is because they have shown extremely high strength in terms of roster depth, tactical system, and player status.
As Su Qun said, the Lakers still have a lot of room to rise in future games, and they are more than capable of causing a storm in the Western Conference.
