This news comes after speculation that James might be trying to return for the Lakers to make one final push for the postseason. The Lakers are currently 37-37 on the season and sit in the 8 seed in the Western Conference.
They have won three straight and are 7-3 in their last 10 games. Many believed that when James went out, the Lakers postseason chances were gone. The Lakers had other plans.
Anthony Davis and the moves of the front office at the trade deadline have the Lakers in a position to solidify their presence in the playoffs with their best player possibly returning. It should also be noted that the team had a chance to gel with the new additions while James was returning to health.
The question now becomes, can James integrate into the new pieces that the Lakers have? One thing is for sure, any team with James on the roster has a very good chance to get to the NBA Finals.
