The return to the regular season promises to be tricky for the Lakers, for whom the All-Star Game served as a welcome break. Before finding his way back to the courts, a spirited Angelino has already placed his pawns for the coming summer!
If it were up to them, Lakers fans would probably have extended the All-Star Break for a few days, just to relieve their nerves that have been strained for a few months. Unfortunately, Frank Vogel’s men will resume the course of the regular season on Friday, with an important derby against the Clippers. This meeting could also be played under tense conditions for the Angelinos.
Indeed, the All-Star Weekend did not make it possible to appease the climate which reigns within the locker room of LA LeBron James would, for example, have come into open conflict with the front office of the franchise, as suggested his recent incendiary outings about Rob Pelinka. Enough to make his future uncertain in the City of Angels, just like that… of all his teammates!
Future free agent, Malik Monk announces the color
The coming off-season could be likened to a big workforce review at Purple & Gold. Besides LeBron, whose name begins to appear in departure rumors, other members of the team are likely to leave next summer. This is particularly the case of Malik Monk, who expressed his desires in a recent interview granted to Jovan Buha and The Athletic !
