As the new season draws closer and closer, Lebron James entering his 20th season of the NBA is raring to go. James was sighted at the Lakers facility with trainer Phil Handy, demonstrating his incredible work ethic to new teammate Troy Brown Jr. NBA superstars are preparing for the next season with the actual training camp only a few months away.
The bulk of players begin their off-season workouts well in advance of trainin camp. James is no exception. Given the number of new faces on the roster this season, the Lakers will need to work quickly to create chemistry. In this aspect, James’ mini-camp is frequently useful in facilitating this process.
Lebron James Spotted with newest Lakers’ recruit
James was seen working out with new Lakers hires Troy Brown Jr. and Phil Handy ahead of the minicamp. James talked down a simple play with Handy while imparting knowledge to the former Chicago Bulls swingman. James can be seen in the video discussing a play that he may intend to run with Brown on the ground. Brown, who shot almost 42% from the perimeter last season, may benefit from a simple dribble hand-off into a wing 3-pointer over the display.
The video itself concentrates on the complexities of the simple game. However, it has more ramifications when considering the chemical constructing side. Given the nature of shifting rosters, this is an event in itself and given the personnel situation from the previous season, a short camp didn’t appear essential. Despite the fact that a similar scenario is expected this time, the Lakers could benefit from having youth on their side.
Because of their youthful roster, the Lakers have a more impressionable bunch of players who can still adapt to a new system. Because team chemistry has been a crucial part in the Lakers’ historical success, the Lakers could benefit from these early encounters between their new personnel and superstars. By bringing in strong veterans like Patrick Beverley, the Lakers may be able to build a winning culture while also nurturing the development of young players.
Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook is expected to attend mini camp, which is great news for the Purple and Gold. Because Westbrook has been a regular target of trade speculations this offseason, having him on board could mark the end of another important summer saga.
Can Lakers win it all this season
After the Los Angeles Lakers’ dismal 2021-22 season, one would expect the oddsmakers to offer them exceedingly long odds to win the NBA championship the following season. Given how both Anthony Davis and LeBron James endured repeated injuries, as well as James’ advanced mileage, the strange fit of Russell Westbrook, the complications associated in potentially trading him, and the team’s dearth of competent role players, doing so would make sense.
This offseason will most likely be a turning point for L.A. It has the option of returning to championship contention or slipping further into long-term mediocrity. Despite its problems, the team still has perhaps the NBA’s best pair of Lebron James and Anthony Davis, at least when they are healthy, as well as a very excellent player in Westbrook and two complimentary players in Talon Horton-Tucker and Kendrick Nunn. If the Lakers have a better injury luck next season, one or two smart deals might put them in a position to compete against practically any team in the NBA.
