Lakers superstar LeBron James has missed the past few games due to injury, and according to Lakers coach Frank Vogel, LeBron James is in a state of "doubt" in the team's next game against the Blazers:
"He's still dealing with a slight knee swelling," Vogel said, "and he's been listed as a suspected man, he's not here today, he's being treated." ”
'The first goal is definitely that he can stay healthy for a long time, everything else is less important, all we have to do is win the game when he is absent.
James has missed 15 games so far this season, and the Lakers have only won 5 of them in these games, and the Lakers have suffered three consecutive losses in James' absence.
On the other hand, Lakers legend Jerry West talked about his discord with the Lakers in an interview with the US media Sam Amik, West said that his wife received a text message from the Lakers last season, which said that the West family's lifetime tickets have been canceled, and there is no warning or explanation:
"No one dares to call me, they're so stingy, sometimes you feel like you've been completely discarded, like a piece of garbage."
West also revealed that in fact, he has an interest in returning to the Lakers' management in 2017, but the Lakers have not shown any willingness to let him return to management. Jerry West, 83, is undoubtedly one of the greatest players in Lakers history and has contributed significantly to Lakers history through a 40-year career as a player, head coach and team executive.
Finally, it should be mentioned that legendary star Charles Oakley speculated in a show that Lakers superstar LeBron James is likely to leave the Lakers in the future:
"He definitely wants to win another championship trophy before he retires, but he may have to leave the Lakers to win the championship, I don't know if that destination is Cleveland or somewhere else, I mean, he's going to leave again."
Oakley's point is not impossible to become a reality, at least in terms of the current strength of the Lakers, LeBron James to win the championship trophy will indeed be a lot of difficulty.
