As the NBA season progresses, the dynamics of the Lakers have attracted the attention of many fans and **, and the famous basketball reporter Woj put forward a thought-provoking point on **: The Lakers are trying to force James to make a decision on whether to renew his contract through a series of reinforcement moves. This view has sparked heated discussions.
It is necessary to review the series of changes of the Lakers from the midseason championship to the present, during the midseason period, the Lakers successfully won the midseason championship with excellent teamwork and tactical execution. James' leadership and tactical advice played a key role in this process, but over time, the team's tactical style changed significantly, Davenham no longer followed James' advice, and James' voice in the team's tactics was greatly diminished.
Behind this change is a strategy by Lakers management, who are waiting for James' decision: If James commits to a contract extension with the Lakers, the Lakers will give everything to support him, including cutting Davenham. This is because James' presence is crucial to the Lakers, and his leadership and all-round ability on the court are key to the team's continued competitiveness, so the Lakers are willing to make some necessary changes and sacrifices in order to keep James.
If James doesn't give a commitment, the Lakers won't fight everything, this is because the overall interests and long-term development of the team need to be considered, and if James decides to leave, the Lakers also need to have enough strength and depth to deal with the challenges ahead. Therefore, the Lakers' reinforcement move is not only to keep James, but also to improve the overall strength and competitiveness of the team.
The current situation is that the battle between James and the management is underway, Davenham, as the head coach of the team, is completely at the mercy of the management's decisions, and James needs to make the best choice between his career and the interests of the team. In short, for James, it is necessary to make the best choice between considering his career and the interests of the team.
