The biggest sign of the change afoot is James’ apparent acceptance that Davis needs to be the leading man.
has been a plus-29 in just 19 minutes of impact … in the first quarter. Coming off the bench into the game, he’s given a shot of juice the Lakers clearly need, especially when it comes to playmaking: He’s had five first-quarter assists against both Milwaukee and Washington, especially helping Davis get rolling in both those games. Some of Westbrook’s shooting efficiency since he moved to the bench has leveled off , but his passing has been much better, and his 15 assists in D.C.
An extremely cynical view of the situation is the Lakers are propping up Beverley as a contributing player on a winning team until such a point when they can trade his $13 million contract . But he has not been credible as a starter or a closer, despite Ham’s insistence that he’s a trusted veteran on this team.. It’s worth wondering how close a call that could be when he was already a game-time decision Sunday against the Wizards.
