In the latest Lakers news, All-Star forward LeBron James has responded to Dillon Brooks calling him “old” during a game against the Memphis Grizzlies (Sports Illustrated). Despite the criticism, James put up an impressive performance as the Lakers take on the Grizzlies in the playoffs (CBS Sports). This season, the Lakers have struggled at times, and one major issue has been the performance of Russell Westbrook. However, Westbrook seems to have found his footing with the Clippers after a disappointing stint with the Lakers (CBS Sports).
Looking towards the future, the Lakers have some potential free agent targets in mind for the 2023-24 NBA season. As of now, their roster is largely undecided aside from James and Anthony Davis (Bleacher Report). While the Lakers have had their struggles, they still have a chance in the playoffs. The outcome of their series against the Grizzlies is still up in the air and will be determined in the upcoming games (Sports Illustrated).
As the Lakers prepare for their next playoff game, they will need to consider making some adjustments to their lineup. One suggestion has been for Los Angeles to make a lineup change to improve their chances of success (CBS Sports). Lakers player Austin Reaves stresses the need to make things easier for Anthony Davis in order to have an advantage over the Grizzlies (Lakers Nation). LeBron James has also emphasized the importance of the upcoming Game 3, calling it the most important of the series (Lakers Nation).
As the NBA playoffs continue, the Lakers will need to step up their game if they hope to make it to the next round. However, with the talent and experience on their team, it’s still possible for them to come out on top. Only time will tell. (CBS Sports)
