[Music] LeBron James in this Lakers offense couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn last night in their loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves and well it’s a struggle lately for LeBron James offensively and it’s not good news for the Lakers because with how well they started the season off and Anthony Davis playing out of his mind and an MVP level you would have hoped that the Lakers would have been carrying more momentum at this time of the year but due to the offensive struggles of the team and LeBron James the Lakers aren’t exactly where we would want them right now and if you want LeBron James to break out of his shooting slump most of you probably are aware but we’re going to go in through it in detail it on today’s show hit that thumbs up icon can’t help don’t jinx it like the video and hopefully LeBron will start splashing some thre starting on Wednesday when they travel to Miami and in that game against the Timberwolves yesterday it was ugly for the king kept the 10-point streak Al though just barely just barely but four of 16 listen I don’t have Perfect Memory I’m not Mike Ross from Suits I can’t recall every LeBron James game that he’s ever played but it’s hard for me to ever remember a game where LeBron shot that poorly from the field yes he hasn’t been the best three-point shooter in his career but four of 16 basically four of 12 from inside the ark that is something I have never seen LeBron do off the top of my head in his struggles offens defensively kind of led to one of the worst offensive games that we’ve seen the Lakers play in the past decade 80 points against the t-wolves that’s the fewest in a game since 2017 it just has not been where we would have expected this team to be and ironically enough we mentioned their next game coming on Wednesday against the Heat they scored 89 points yesterday let’s hope that game isn’t played in the 80s like in the80s but let’s get back to LeBron James specifically because he has not been shooting good and it does it goes farther than just the three-point struggles when you look at tyly from the field he has not shot above 50% from the field in any of his last six games like that is unheard of and yes he shot four of 16 yesterday but 12 of 28 is very unlike LeBron like all of these shooting percentages are downright shocking to me you see the bottom number as well that his total field goal percentage is 39 point 8% I don’t know for certain I probably should have looked this up but that has to be the worst six-game stretch in his entire NBA career not just from three but from the field because he’s been a master of getting to the rim and finishing throughout his entire career and when you look specifically at the three-point percentage well it gets even worse 10% in the last six games and over the last four games offensively from Beyond The Arc he has missed 19 are are you serious oh of 19 not the dog LeBron and you guys don’t know me that well but I’m fairly confident if you gave me 19 three-point attempts Inside the NBA I’ll make it at least three or four I just simply in I specialized as a shooter back in the day and I still play Hoops not to discredit LeBron make this all about me but I’m making one three out of 19 I just simply am but good thing is LeBron the team leader that he is understands that he’s holding this team back and said to the media that he’s just not good offensively right now and listen it’s LeBron James it’s the best player in NBA history or second best player in NBA history whatever side of the coin you are on he is going to figure it out I am not concerned about LeBron offensively sure will he maybe have to rely on more jump shooting because he doesn’t have as much as athleticism and a speed burst as he once did over his illustrious 20-year career yes but he will find a way to become a top 15 player in the world like he always has been and LeBron James had some thoughts on why he’s struggling he says it’s everything it’s the Rhythm I just feel off Rhythm the last few three or four games and well we kind of mentioned it but it’s a harsh reality for LeBron James and they say father time gets everyone I think the two people that you could say have fought off fathertime the best are LeBron James and Tom Brady I mean Brady won a Super Bowl in his first season with Tampa and even in his last couple Seasons with the Buccaneers I mean he was still good and LeBron James even though you might say five times get him right now like his raw numbers on the season are still good but he’s about to be 40 at what point does that actually catch up with him and limits him offensively to being a facilitator and a jump shooter rather than the dominant physical Force attacking downhill that he’s able to finish amongst the trees get by people dunk on people and then earn his way to the free throw line like it might be time where he has to settle for more jumpers and we know that that’s not been the strongest point of his game throughout his career JJ reick the first year head coach of Los Angeles asked about LeBron James as I don’t know if it’s it’s his best interest of him and us to play all 82 games this season I would agree with that listen I know a lot of fans out there don’t like the idea of load management and they push back on that and I’m not the biggest load management fan but I’m not the biggest load management fan when you’re talking about 27 to 33 year olds when you’re talking 39 40 year olds who have been in the NBA for 20 plus years yeah I think that should warrant you the ability to take some time off during the season even if you do not have an injury just to keep the legs fresh and we mentioned it earlier in the show that even though LeBron has struggled offensively over the last six games he’s still putting up unbelievable numbers and you see him he’s still shooting 48% from the field avering 22 plus with nine assists and eight rebounds a game like that is a career year for 98% of NBA athletes and he’s doing it while he’s basically 40 years old so like I mentioned even though he has been playing horrible and it’s been terrible news for the Lakers and Lakers fans as they’ve kind of hit a little bit of a downfall in their schedule I still trust LeBron to figure it out and get back to his mean get back to his average sooner rather than later all right let’s shift it over to some injury news on Los Angeles because Lakers forward jander Jared Vanderbilt experienced some fluid in his left knee recently during re Rehabilitation sometimes I can’t speak but we got it there and is now targeting early January 4 return and it’s been a long time for Vanderbilt to get back on the floor he’s dealt with many injuries over the past calendar year if you take it back to last February he had a right midfoot sprain that kept them out sometime and then end of May he had to get surgery to remove a bone spur and then you take it back now to November 20th he had his first set back after surgery that delayed his return and then obviously today you saw the news he has that knee issue now and he has a second setback so what started with an injury in February now is not going to return until the earliest in January keeping him out and it sucks because I am a big fan of Jared vanderbel is he the best offensive player no but he’s an athlete he’s a rebounder and he is one of the best perimeter defenders in the entire NBA and I would just argue stra flat out Defenders he can guard one through five five might be a stretch but he can certainly guard one through four all right we’re coming up in just a second we’re talking trade rumors on Jonas valent Tunis someone that has been linked to Los Angeles for some time now but we are sponsored by prize picks the number one

Angeles Lakers and Valen junis has had an interesting season in Washington coming off the bench for them as they’ve started the second overall pick Alex SAR at the center spot he’s averaging 12 points a game shooting 58% from the field grabbing seven and half boards doesn’t surprise me that’s just standard Jonas Valen chunis stuff and the best part about Jonas valunas I’ll say this by the way is that he never actually changes his game relies absolutely zero on athleticism and an ability to be vertical he is just a physical Bruiser that will beat you with his size his physicality inside and you don’t have to worry about him declining because of his athleticism he will be the same player regardless and Michael Scot of Hoops hype said that you have to keep an eye on Los Angeles potentially dangling Gabe Vincent and future second round picks to try to land The Wizard center Jonas valent chunes who has been a coveted Lakers Target and you heard Scot mention Gabe Vincent and multiple second rounders if that is the package I am absolutely in on bringing him to Los Angeles we’ve seen that the Lakers front Court behind Anthony Davis is very bare Jackson Hayes is going to miss some time as well and whether JJ Ruck would want to use Valen junis Off the Bench as the backup to Anthony Davis or move him into the starting lineup and put ad back to the four as where he’s played for most of his Lakers career there’s a lot of different Avenues you could go if you acquire Jonas valunas and I for one would like to see it happen but you make the call would you trade for Jonas valunas if you are the Los Angeles Lakers type t for trade or type P for pass some of you might have seen that quote when not even cared about adding Valen junis but more oress getting rid of Gabe Vincent who has been an absolute disaster of a signing for the Lakers signed a three-year deal worth I believe was it $36 million I think it was in that 35 to 38 range um but either way on the second year of his deal after joining the Lakers from the Miami Heat and I tell you what they got Bamboozled you’ve seen it happen multiple times in the NBA where heat role players leave Miami and struggle Max stru has been up and down in Cleveland you’ve seen other players like James Johnson struggle after leaving Miami hack you’re even seeing Caleb Martin struggle right now as a Philadelphia 76er and Vincent oh boy has he struggled for the Lakers in his one and a half seasons in the purple and gold and if if you’re getting rid of Gabe Vincent who hasn’t really done anything for the Lakers this season whatsoever and adding this Center and the Bruiser that the Lakers need to this Center rotation it would just be an absolute slam dunk especially if it only costs Vincent and a couple second round picks like second round picks don’t mean anything and when we’ve talked about how bad the center rotation for the Lakers have actually B like you’re relying on Jackson Hayes and Christian Koko Hayes obviously dealing with that injury but he’s been underwhelming as well Koko has been okay but like also what were your expectations for him I certainly didn’t have any high expectations after making his return from um blood clots but Koko has just tried his best like he hasn’t played in a while like I don’t what you want him to do out there like it’s just a bad spot for the young man who formerly played for the Arizona wild cats and that’s why maybe you want to bring in Jonas valent chunis to be the backup center or have him start and then just have one of them always be on the floor for the rest of the game all right that’s going to do it for today’s Lakers video thanks for watching all the way through if you are watching still you obviously like what we’re doing so hit that thumbs up icon remember hitting the like button might make LeBron James finally make a three on Wednesday so there’s no point of not jinxing it [Music] m [Music]
