Why Lebron missing games is actually good for the lakers.
Hello, my name is Emmanuel Kamia and in this video, I explain why when Lebron James missing games actually turned out to be a good thing for the Lakers.
Recently Lebron James missed four or five games due to a strained left adductor.
And this turned out to be one of the best things that could've happened to the lakers because for the first time since his New Orleans days Anthony Davis was forced to either sink or swim.
The bright lights of the Los Angeles lakers were solely on him.
Lebron James wasn't there to soak up all of the spotlights and the Lakers' success depended on him, he was the best player, if they were bad then he would get the blame if they were good then he'd get the praise and man did he ever perform.
For four games Anthony Davis took a stroll down memory lane and put up monster numbers, he was having 30 plus point double-doubles and for the first time in a long time he looked like he could be an MVP front-runner, he looked like he could be mentioned with the rest of the big men in the league as one of the best big men in the league.
He was on par with guys like Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic, it led me to ask where was this Anthony Davis last year?
Where was this guy at the beginning of the season?
But anyway this is good because it boosted the stock of Anthony Davis for a potential trade.
Yes, The lakers need to trade Anthony Davis despite him having one of the best stretches he's ever had.
They need to leverage this outburst in performance to try and gain crucial assets for the lakers, and the reason is because even though Anthony Davis was playing really well, his record tells you that he can't keep playing at this level for prolonged periods of time.
He will get injured.
Something he has become known for in recent years.
So if Rob Pelinka and the Lakers were smart they would trade Anthony Davis when he is performing at his best, it's a buy low sell high tactic.
