Pierce: The Lakers look bad, and I don't think they have a chance

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers didn't live up to fan expectations at the start of the season. They're known as a super team that can compete with the Brooklyn Nets. However, a series of injuries and unstable games have left the supposedly mighty Lakers at the start of the season with a mediocre 8-8 record.

While some may say it's too early to judge the Lakers' returns, one former opponent thinks he's had enough of the team. Paul Pierce spoke in a recent interview about his views on LeBron and his teammates.

They look bad now, I don't know if they can stay fit, and I don't think they get a chance because James doesn't have the physical fitness he used to have. LeBron couldn't play 40 minutes like he did and then let them through the regular season. If you ask him to keep doing that, get into the playoffs and lead the team, I don't know if that's going to happen all the way through. The structure of this team is unlikely to win the championship. ”

There's some truth to Pierce's comment: The Lakers rely on LeBron James' pace is unsustainable. They got Russell Westbrook in the offseason to help ease LeBron's burden. However, the Lakers' 4-6 record doesn't bode well for them. Everyone on the team needs to improve their level.

Never say the Lakers and LeBron were out at the start of the season, which was a bold and reckless move. It will take some time for Frank Vogel to find the best squad for this team. LeBron, Adelaide and Westbrook haven't played together for long. Maybe let's wait until the middle of the season to judge the Lakers' roster.
