How many titles would LeBron James & Kyrie Irving have won if they’d stayed together—or reunited in LA? Like Shaq & Kobe before them, it’ll be one of the great NBA what-ifs. espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 1:56 PM

A fun defensive possession:
Giddey looks left, LeBron shoots the gap.
Giddey looks right, Taurean takes away SGA.
Nothing there. SGA winds up going back to nearly half-court to get the ball. Taurean forces an airball. pic.twitter.com/Km8JHIokyW – 1:00 AM

More on this storyline
“I don’t think I blame [the Lakers] for doing what they did,” a Western Conference executive told ESPN. “Kyrie hadn’t proven he could be stable, like he has been this season. [And] LeBron is simultaneously the most life-giving player to an organization but also the ultimate force-multiplier who totally makes you believe you are better than you are because he just makes everything work.” -via ESPN / January 17, 2024
Brian Windhorst on LeBron James: “I don’t know what’s gonna happen with LeBron in 2025. I feel like LeBron is gonna play next year, but I don’t know if it’s gonna be for the Lakers. Probably, but he’s got an opt out. -via Apple Podcasts / January 17, 2024
But the Lakers are losing James’ minutes by a wide margin over this span, outscored by 118 points when James is on the floor. It is his worst plus-minus over a 15-game stretch since joining the Lakers. “It’s just too much on Bron right now,” one rival player whose team recently defeated the Lakers told ESPN. “Everyone is just going to pack the paint and try to frustrate him because they need a lot. Speed. Playmaking. Shooting.” -via ESPN / January 17, 2024
