The way LeBron James performed during the Paris Olympics reinforced the feeling among some that the Lakers have wasted his talents.
Welcome to this week’s Lakers newsletter, I’m Dan Woike, beat writer for the L.A. Times and this is my weekly chance to speak directly to the readers in the same way the J. Crew Factory Store speaks to me every five hours or so. I’ve been on a little bit of a summer hiatus, enjoying some time with my family, while the Lakers basically have stayed in neutral. There was some international competition that I monitored from afar, but otherwise, mostly same as it ever was.
There’s also the flip side of the James-Davis coin. Eventually, James will slow down and Davis, despite being only 31, has played nearly 28,000 NBA minutes while dealing with a long list of injuries. But all of us who watched the Olympics saw it — James and Davis competing at title level around the greatest players in the world. And fans probably are right to crack jokes about them leaving that roster for the one that picked off just one game from Denver earlier this year.
