On the other hand, it seems that the Lakers basically maintained the lineup of last season. Artest's arrival has improved the strength of the Lakers in the battle. In the face of excellent small forwards such as James and Anthony, he can have better strength. But Lakers insider Andrew Bynum needs to grow up quickly, and Gasol lacks strength. All this shocked the whole league this year, because the Lakers can rely on a mature lineup to defend the championship.
James has entered the finals eight times and won the championship three times. James means that he will bring his championship genes, blood and glory to the young and talented players in the Lakers and the team to help them grow up quickly and win the championship this season.
In addition to these players, the Lakers' chief magician Johnson, one of the greatest superstars in history, will also play. In the past few seasons, his cooperation with James has changed the position of the Lakers in the NBA and changed most people's views on the future development of the Lakers. Of course, judging from the current preseason, the Lakers still need to make some changes.
