The Los Angeles Lakers need Bronny James to improve after his G League demotion to avoid a trade or getting waived to save his NBA career.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James faces mounting pressure to salvage his NBA career after being demoted to the G League's Coachella Valley Lakers. Writers and analysts have cautioned that the 22-year-old is at risk of being traded or waived if he cannot demonstrate that he can contribute to winning in Los Angeles.
Team writer Tyler Watts highlighted that James must improve his three-point shooting, simplify his role off the ball, and regain head coach JJ Redick's trust after recording 11 points and 12 turnovers across four preseason games. Meanwhile, reporter Jovan Buha suggested the Lakers may consider waiving James to create roster flexibility.
