LeBron James will return to his hometown of Cleveland this All-Star Weekend, and while it's not a Return to the Cavaliers as a Cavaliers player, James has clearly shown excitement about this "return to home."
On social media, James expressed excitement through the post:
As cleveland hero, LeBron James has once again become the all-star ticket king and can also serve as the captain of the All-Star Regular West, it should be noted that James is in the 18th all-Star tour of his career, except for the rookie season, James can participate in all-star games every season in his career.
On the other hand, former NBA center Kendrick Perkins slammed Lakers vice president and general manager Rob Pelinka for letting LeBron James decide on the Lakers lineup:
"I'm going to point the finger at Rob Pelinka," Perkins said, "and that's the guy who looks the worst because he didn't do his job well and instead let the players, davis and James decide on the roster." And then when it came to the trading deadline, there was no movement at all? You stand still and tell the world that we're just waiting to buy out the market. ”
There are not many claims that LeBron James is the shadow general manager of the Lakers, after all, Pelinka has admitted james and Davis' request to trade Russell Westbrook, and there are also sources that Pelinka prefers to trade Buddy Hield before the offseason.
Finally, it should be mentioned that Lakers assistant coach Phil Handy has been a partner since James played for the Cavaliers for the second time, and Phil Handy responded to the criticism faced by the Lakers coaching staff in recent times:
"Before you sit in the coaching bench at this level, please respect what we do," says Phil-Handy, "you and others can easily sit on the couch and coach, like a 2K game, but there's a reason we get the job and the pay." ”
So far this season, LeBron James and the Lakers have indeed suffered a lot of criticism, but in the final analysis, it is because the Lakers really cannot have a good enough record. As for whether the Lakers can find a way to win in the next game, it remains to be seen.
