Shocking predictions have emerged. However, it is even more shocking in that there is a possibility of reality.
It is observed that the Los Angeles Lakers will not make the playoffs.
The U.S. sports media ESPN reported on the 17th (Korea time) 'LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers will be spectators in the playoffs. Competition will be fierce for the last two seats in the West. The roster of the Los Angeles Lakers at this point is too flawed. LeBron James, who is approaching his 40th birthday, said the aging phenomenon is clear.
ESPN conducted an interim inspection at this point, where each team played 23 to 27 games.
He made a bold prediction. It is a diagnosis that the Los Angeles Lakers will be eliminated from the playoffs.

Prior to the season, the Los Angeles Lakers had mixed reviews. Offseason power reinforcement was not done properly. Still was the team of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
However, the ace's position has changed. Anthony Davis has become a clear ace for the Los Angeles Lakers by showing a strong performance. LeBron is a team-two option and has changed into a role playing in the clutch.
Recently, LeBron's shooting efficiency has decreased a lot. Coat margins also fell sharply.
After all, the Los Angeles Lakers haven't had a good recent performance.
There is a controversy over this phenomenon in the local media. They say LeBron will rebound as strongly as he did every season and argue that LeBron's aging, which turned 40, is rapidly progressing.
The outlook is not bright at this point. The Los Angeles Lakers are tough.
Ten of the 15 Western teams qualify for the NBA Playoffs. The number of teams has increased from eight to ten. However, teams ranked 7th to 10th must play a playoff tournament-in.
It is evaluated that it is difficult for the Los Angeles Lakers to settle in the top 10.
The west is still rough. Oklahoma City, Memphis, Houston and Dallas form the top ranks. Denver, Phoenix, Golden State and Minnesota are ranked 4th to 8th. Minnesota is sluggish, but it has the power to rebound at any time.
Golden State is also looking for a rebound by bringing in Dennis Schroder in a trade. Phoenix is still strong around Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. It is trying to strengthen its power through additional trade.
Denver has Nikola Jokic. In other words, I don't see any of the top eight teams to drop.
No. 9 is the Los Angeles Clippers. Although there are many ups and downs, the organization is solid around James Harden. The San Antonio Spurs are in 11th place. It is followed by Sacramento. The Los Angeles Lakers must compete with the Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio, and Sacramento in order to settle in the playoff tournament.
