Evidently, the Lakers have been enduring a really bad season. With big money names on the roster, the world expected the ‘Purple and Gold’ to win it all this season. But that scenario seems highly unlikely now. Furthermore, LeBron James seems to be pulling his weight and carrying the team. However, the team continues its nosedive.

Moreover, as LeBron ages, he comes closer and closer to retirement. So from his perspective, the time to win is now. If the Lakers fall short of the playoffs this year, we might expect some major events to unfold in the offseason.

LeBron James and the Lakers This Season

As stated earlier, LeBron has been on an absolute tear this season. Despite the Lakers’ woes, the ‘King’ stands tall. Moreover, he ensures that he consistently delivers in every game. At present, LeBron averages 29 points, 6.3 assists, and 7.9 rebounds this season. In the loss against the Pelicans, LeBron scored nearly a little over a third of what his entire team put on the board. He finished the game with 32 points, 3 assists, and 6 rebounds.

However, the point where the team lost out in the game was their turnovers. In fact, LeBron and Westbrook together had more than half the total number of Laker turnovers. Furthermore, these Laker turnovers allowed the Pelicans to score 25 points. Additionally, they have also been a poor defensive team. They currently allow opponents to score 112.4 points per game against them. This has been the story of the Lakers this season. Their poor defense and turnovers have cost them so many games. Hopefully, if these two issues are addressed, the Lakers can salvage some wins this season.
