The Los Angeles Lakers cannot win a basketball game without LeBron James. Of course, winning without your best player is tough, but weāre talking about a 38-year-old guy who shouldnāt have to be held to that standard.
The Lakers hoped Anthony Davis would step up and carry LeBronās torch. James let everybody know this was supposed to be Davisā team, yet his constant injuries and inconsistency have prevented that from happening.
Davis hasnāt been held accountable for all the time heās missed, and James has had to step up because of that. And according to Fox Sportsā Colin Cowherd, that has fractured their relationship as of late.
NBA Rumors: LeBron James And His Camp Are Frustrated With Anthony Davis
āLeBron and his camp have been frustrated by how many minutes he has to play,ā Cowherd said on his show. āThey canāt depend on Anthony Davis. They are also mad that Darvin Ham is not keeping the pressure on Anthony Davis.ā
āI talked to an NBA source who Iāve known for a long time, he said the Dallas Mavericks and Anthony Davis, keep your eye on it. Anthony Davis is pouting, LeBronās holding him accountable, LeBronās not happy with him, ADās gone into a funk, itās not a coincidence,ā Cowherd added.
James is once again playing heavy minutes and posting MVP-caliber numbers night in and night out. Davis has been inconsistent, and his body language makes people think that heās already quitted on this team.
The Lakers simply cannot trust Davis to stay on the floor; thatās just a fact. And they shouldnāt have to rely on a guy in his 20th season to win, but thatās just the way itās been thus far. So, donāt be shocked if they revisit Davisā trade value in the summer if things go south this season.
