Lakers name two starters, and LeBron James ‘is preparing for 21 like he’s a rookie’

LA Times

General manager Rob Pelinka and coach Darvin Ham were smiling and joking as they sat down to unofficially start their team’s upcoming season. I came here for those expectations.” The excitement inside the Lakers’ practice gym has been building behind closed doors over the last month as the team gathered for offseason workouts. “It’s staggering for a player who has 20 years under the hood already and is preparing for 21 like he’s a rookie,” Pelinka said. “Austin’s growth isn’t a surprise to any of us that really scouted him, drafted him and helped develop him to this point,” Pelinka said.
