The struggling L.A. Lakers lost again on Monday night, part of a second-half slide that has seen their record drop to eight games under .500. And in the midst of all that losing, there are big questions on the horizon when it comes to the future of LeBron James. Today, The Athletic’s Bill Oram tells us where things stand with LeBron and the Lakers, and why his struggling superstar teammate, Russell Westbrook, has reached a point where he doesn’t want his kids coming to games. Plus, Bill’s perspective on the new HBO series, ‘Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty’.
