Is the Lakers' question just James's question[what]?
Replace James with any defensive striker, even Covington, and the Lakers problem will all be solved, and Westbrook is still the MVP. [Yun Sorrow] (pictured)
Although James's athletic ability has deteriorated, this is a natural law, no one can escape, this is inevitable to experience. James' defense is 200 ahead this season, but his age has put more experience into offense, and it's understandable that he's almost defensively inferior! Besides, defense is a team problem, Wei Shao, James, Anthony, Munch and other people are not known for their defense, originally teammates need to make up for each other, are missing people, why make up?
The Lakers' problem is the problem of the whole team, not just one person!
