The Los Angeles Lakers are a team packed with superstars and all the potential players to go far in the league. But they fell short last year, making LeBron James miss his first playoff in 20 years. Even this year, LA did not learn its lesson as it continued to follow the last year’s footsteps. The franchise altogether has shown a laid-back attitude when the team needs a refurbishment. Hollywood is not bad at what they do, just inconsistent in league with bad shooting performance.
There is no doubt that the Lakers are one of the worst shooters from the distance as their names touch the bottom of the table. When the season began, the allegation was such that the LA players could not shoot if their life depended on it. However, things have changed a lot in the way Hollywood is going about their season.
But the Lakers are still not winning enough, as they missed their marquee Anthony Davis in December. However, LeBron James has carried the team well in his absence, as he was not expected to do such a good job. But King James has the habit of turning heads when he plays on the court. Meanwhile, Paige Spiranac, a golfer and a well-renowned name on the internet, has predicted 2023.
Paige Spiranac Believes LeBron James Would Leave The Lakers Soon
Paige is not an unknown name in American sports because of her brilliant social media strategies. She was a golf player, one of the best, and a great sports enthusiast. Although she does not play her sport anymore, she does how to stay relevant in the mainstream media. Ex golfer has made bold comments about who will win various tournaments this year. She began with MLB mentioning that the Yankees will finally win their world series this year. This judgment could be biased as Paige despises the Boston-based teams and fans. However, at the end video, she mentioned her prediction about the NBA winner and LeBron James.

The Lakers are so unpredictable this season that even Spiranac mentioned LeBron’s name and NBA winner in different sentences. She believes that the Brooklyn Nets will win the title this year and LeBron James will be traded. Apart from the prediction, James is not happy with his current team. He gels well with his young bud Anthony, but Russ is just a teammate. The lack of chemistry between the two superstars is often out there for everyone to observe. But the Lakers fans would want Westbrook out rather than LeBron.
Meanwhile, Joe Vardon has defended LeBron James as the conversation to trade him with a young player sets off. King James is playing the best game of his life, if not better. He is averaging around 30 points in every game at the age of 38, making him the oldest player in the NBA to do so. However, Joe makes a valid point that the Lakers must win it when they have the chance to talk about the current season.
