Summary

Sunday, the US Men's National Team scored an impressive win over Serbia to kick off their run at the Paris Olympics. A big reason for that success was LeBron James, who scored 21 points, and added nine rebounds and seven assists and a steal in only 27 minutes. The dude was dominant. And this against high end competition. LeBron was often the best player on the floor, which is pretty amazing given his age and mileage. At this point, if he's even on the team, he should be some sort of player emeritus, not a main cog in the team's success. But here we are. And fans are noticing what he (and Anthony Davis, who was good-but-relatively quiet Sunday thanks to some foul trouble) is doing. But what does any of this mean for the Lakers? Does it mean something that the Lakers have two players capable of dominating at this level but have so many failed NBA postseasons (with a couple good ones mixed in, no doubt). Does their dominance reflect poorly on the front office? Does any of it translate? Meanwhile, in terms of potential upgrades, the Lakers "lost out" on another high profile player, as Tyus Jones went to Phoenix on a veteran's minimum. Now, this wasn't necessarily a matter of Jones choosing the Suns over the Lakers - there's no indication the Lakers were even interested, or tried to get him - but it's another example of good players going to other players with the Lakers either unable to make an effort, or losing out on the players they try for. It's just a reminder that the Lakers are, for now, basically stuck. And that's uncomfortable, because they're not bad by any stretch, but clearly not good enough yet to contend.
