It’s a paradoxical and underrated obstacle for the Lakers this offseason. In a vacuum as players, LeBron and AD are still very complementary to each other. But from a roster-building/rebuilding perspective, they can’t build as ideally/flexibly as they did in ’19-20. (1st) AK – 9:38 p.m.

More information This storyline
LeBron James on winning his second ring with the Lakers: ‘Of course, of course.’ Q. What gives you that confidence? James: Because we’ve done it before. We still have two guys in AD and I who are committed every day, and we’re committed to excellence and winning. We’re not that far away, you know? We’re a year away from the Western Conference Finals, and last year didn’t go as well as we wanted, but we’re not that far away. There are so many good teams in the Western and Eastern conferences in the league that I don’t think we’re that far off. youtube / July 8, 2024
