Today, Lakers team reporter Buha talked about James in his podcast.

Talking about James' imminent return, Buha: "The Lakers are about to add a player who ranked sixth in efficiency in pick-and-rolls last season, because we see teams start to double-team and contain Luka more and more, and they also start to use these tactics against Reeves, but if you have LeBron James in these more-player-less situations, he will tear apart the opponent's defense."

"He can be a compliant organizer, a weak-side shooter, a weak-side cutter, or a safe pick-up point for the second offense. As he reminded us in training today, he can play any position on the court. Just having him as one of these weapons in more-less situations, I think will elevate the Lakers' offense to another level."
