It's the time when the NBA playoffs are in full swing, but it has nothing to do with the Lakers. As a team that just won the championship two years ago, as a team with LeBron James, it is really a bit unreasonable. Therefore, James also made a statement, promising not to miss the playoffs again, which requires the Lakers management to act immediately.
We have to change the misconception that as long as there is James, the team has the strength to win the championship. This season's Lakers have punched all fans who hold this idea in the face. James is 37 years old, 38 years old next season, even if he can still play MVP data, it is difficult to reflect the dominance of both ends of the attack and defense, and more reliable helpers are needed to enhance competition.
The first priority of management offseason is to trade westers, and although Westbrook is a hot potato, the Lakers can still find a way to send him away. First of all, The Westbrook contract is about to expire, and secondly, the Lakers still have the first round to use. As long as the trade is exchanged for the right person, James's promise can be fulfilled.
