LeBron James points out the Lakers need shooting and questions how the team is constructed.
, James went way, way off script when asked about the team’s subpar 3-point shooting against the Golden State Warriors.
“I mean, let’s keep it a buck: It would be like a football team – if you had a football analogy – and you had a bunch of guys that were underneath route runners and wondering why the quarterback is not throwing 20-plus passes down the field,” he said. “That’s how the team is constructed.” The candor helps illuminate just how precarious things are in the Lakers organization: As Southern California News Group has reported before, the franchise worked over the summer to find a trade for Russell Westbrook that would send them back useful pieces to help them contend. Unable to find a deal that worked at the price they wanted, they made a calculated gamble:.
Stringing together those kinds of nights might actually help achieve the Lakers’ goals. But they might have underestimated just how much organizational discipline is required to maintain this poker face. When they lose, key figures get frustrated. : “I’m not accustomed to sitting down for long stretches and getting up and then, like, moving quickly. It kind of stiffens up a little bit.”
