Despite ranking third in NBA history in scoring and closing fast on Karl Malone in second, LeBron James has somehow never been thought of as a pure scorer. On Saturday night, James showed he is still more than capable of piling up the points in a variety of ways. James scored a season-high 56 points and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors 124-116 to snap a four-game losing streak.
news.yahoo.comWhat Would A LeBron James Trade Look Like?
There’s an exception to every rule, as the old adage goes, and boy is this LeBron James situation looking like the anomaly of all anomalies. Also, hey, LeBron (and Davis) kiiinda vouched for Westbrook, and it’s pretty well documented that rosters are genearlly shaped in LeBron’s image. Why not trade LeBron? How many teams have the ecosystem for LeBron, a roster with good enough pieces to talk the Lakers into and a remaining cast that LeBron could compete with post-trade? Anyway, color me intrigued by the prospect of a LeBron trade — even if it is super unlikely.

news.yahoo.comHow The Lakers Managed To Turn A Contending Team Into A Sub-.500 Mess
The Lakers beat the Heat in Game 6 of the Finals on 11 Oct., 2020. The team’s two cornerstones, Anthony Davis and LeBron James, remain, but the rest of the rotation has been turned over completely. Hindsight is 20/20, of course, but the Lakers arrived at a fork in the road and chose the wrong path. The Lakers would eventually be eliminated in six games by the Suns in the first round of the 2021 playoffs. “What matters to me is getting this team back healthy,” James told reporters after the loss to Phoenix.

Lakers’ Players Believe Changes Must Be Made Before Trade Deadline
By Alex KennedyThe Los Angeles Lakers seem to understand that they can’t compete for a championship as currently constructed. “It tells me we ain’t on their level,” James told reporters. James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook have only played 18 games together this season, and the Lakers are 10-8 in those games. He is earning $9,500,000 this season, followed by $10,260,000 next year and a player option worth $11,020,000 in 2023-24. It remains to be seen if the Lakers can pull off a significant trade with these assets.
thewestsidegazette.comLeBron returns with triple-double, Lakers beat Knicks in OT
LeBron James returned from a five-game absence due to injury and had a triple-double of 29 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, and the Los Angeles Lakers rallied from a 21-point, second-quarter deficit, beating the New York Knicks 122-115 in overtime Saturday night.
Seized Opportunity: Ja Morant, Andrew Wiggins Are All-Star Starters
For a change, though, James is joined in the league’s top class by two first-time All-Stars: Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies and Andrew Wiggins of the Golden State Warriors. Along with Morant and Wiggins, James will be joined by the league’s reigning MVP in Nikola Jokic, as well as Wiggins’ teammate, Stephen Curry. The Warriors have been one of the league’s top teams so far this season, and Wiggins has played a key role. Wiggins benefited greatly from the fan votes, as Green and Gobert had more media votes and player votes than him. Edging out Towns probably gives Wiggins special satisfaction considering the Timberwolves traded Wiggins to the Warriors in exchange for D’Angelo Russell in 2020.

When LeBron James gets his sixth point on Tuesday during the Los Angeles Lakers' game at Brooklyn, it'll put him up to 36,387 in his career. It's no longer be a question of if James will pass Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time scoring leader, but when. “As I’ve continued to climb the ranks, it is natural, human, to look at it and see where you are and see if it’s even possible, see if you’re capable,” James said.
