So far this season, the Lakers, who have a Big Three lineup, have not played an expected record, and according to ESPN reporter Adrian Wanaroskey, Lakers head coach Frank Vogel is "fighting" the pressure to sedentary Russell Westbrook to the bench within the team.
Adrian Vonaroski also reported that tensions between Westbrook and the coaching staff had led to some "tense moments" in recent days, especially a video conference of the team last Saturday Beijing time.
For the Lakers, Westbrook is not efficient and difficult to play well with James and Davis has indeed become a burden, but considering Westbrook's "coffee position" and value, It is difficult for Vogel to delegate such a player to the bench.
On the other hand, according to US media reports, the shooting training suit worn by Lakers legend Kobe Bryant before he scored 81 points against the Raptors in 2006 was auctioned off for $277,200:
According to the US media, the shoes worn by Kobe Bryant in that historic game have been sent to the Basketball Hall of Fame, and the jersey belongs to The Kobe Family, so this training suit is the only souvenir that can "flow" out of the fan world.
Finally, according to the US media Mark Stein, James had very much hoped that the Lakers could complete a contract extension with Alex Caruso in the offseason last offseason:
For the Lakers, Caruso's departure does have a greater impact on the defensive end of the team, which is also the most dissatisfied move of the Lakers management. Caruso, who converted the Bulls, has also helped the Bulls play one of the best records in the league so far this season, and the Lakers really can't have a solid enough performance in the backcourt defense.
