Channing frye has talked about how hard it will be for lakers young players to play with lebron this year.
The young players but I don't think it will be hard for them to play with Lebron.

They will value the worth of Lebron being in Lakers at this season and these young players will definitely love to play with him and learn a lot from his champions experiences.

Correct.

But they cannot just stay low when they see Lebron in spotlight for his good plays.
They must be in line with him. When the rhythm is with him it must be continued by someone in their team.
They cannot just lean it all to Lebron James.

I see that happening over and over again. Unlike, when he was at Miami. Wade is there and Bosh also which have high confidence in their skills.
Lakers roster must have that also.

Lakers is a better team now but reaching the finals, that is a lot of effort to do and luck as well, it means they have to beat the warriors.
Once they are in the finals, it seems like it's a guaranteed win for them because they have already beat the best team in the NBA which is in the west.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. The Celtis are the second best team in the NBA right now, and they accomplished a lot of stuff while Uncle Drew and Hayward were injured. They have a pretty nice chance to win the Conference, they just have to beat the Raptors, 76ers still need more experience and Embiid needs to get more playing time, until then, this conference looks looked for a Raptors vs Celtics Conference Finals, which the Celtics should win. I really hope for a Celtics vs Warriors series, its going to be fun watching Kyrie vs Steph one more time. Celtics have an incredible defense and amazing home court advantage, cant wait to see them play.

 Channing frye has talked about how hard it will be for lakers young players to play with lebron this year.

 It is not lebron that makes it difficult but all other teams fighting hard against lebron will cause a lot of wear and tear for lakers since before this year they were just playing but this year they will not just play but compete as well. Also all the commentators and all critics will see lebron making them great chances and if they do not make it, they lose hope in the player. As a player you are put on spotlight to shine with lebron, if you do not shine with lebron everyone will say you won't shine anywhere.

 It is a great stress for all young kids lakers have, lets hope none of them breaks.

Oh that is one truth also.

Lebron is just too much for a human being. Grin
All teams that they will be playing with want a part of him like he is an enormous cake.
That is the best player of the league by now and it will be a great achievement if you could win against him and his team. So it will be hard work for all players behind Lebron.
The best player, yes it's true, no doubt, but sadly basketball are played as a team and it's the warriors who are the best team in the NBA right now.
As a Lebron fan, I am excited on how the Lakers will play in the coming season, it's guaranteed that they will beat their last season's winning record because they have a reliable main man in the team.

After 16 seasons, Spurs' Manu Ginobili seriously considering retirement

Until now, there is no decision yet made by Manu Ginobili if he will still play this season or finally hang his jersey for good.

He still has the moves and aside from that, he still have one year left in his contract.

What's your opinion about these guys? Continue to play or not? For me, as long as he believed he can still play, go play until the contract expired. In the first place, he doesn't need to be on the court the whole time every game. If he feels that it's time now to retire, then up to him.

Yeah, I agree. He still have those Euro-step so I do hope that he will continue to play and finished his career as San Antonio Spurs.

LMAO, I still remember his blocked on Harden to seal the win in game 5. Internet went wild with a lot of meme's, gif, reactions.Grin. It was a vintage performance.

He can probably contribute coming off the bench and just give quality minutes for the team. He didn't need to bring back the time, but his leadership is enough to help San Antonio win some games.

Even though Lebron has not said it publicly that he would bring the Lakers to the Finals this upcoming season but that is what the people expected of him. When he was with the Heat and Cavs the teams always appeared on the Finals with Lebron on it. Maybe that is the reason why Lebron's team mate at the Lakers right now are pressured to play well so that the Lakers will be in the final as to not tarnished or end Lebron's consecutive run to the finals.

I don't see it that way. Most people now are not expecting Lakers to be in finals and we all know that the chances are now became slim compare when he was on the East. Not just with Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors but West competition is really tough.

His transfer to Los Angeles Lakers is different from the status when he transferred to Heat and returned to Cavaliers. He joined Lakers without any superstar on it and coming from a worst record so I don't think it's only about a championship goal but yeah an expensive max contract.

I will give 50/50 "for now" for the Lakers that they will reached the finals and 80/20 that they will reached Conference finals.
Expectations might be too high for him as mention above the previous post, transferring to west make it more difficult as the team around are really
more competitive than the east, last year champ still intact with additional star, for sure Lebron knew that he needs to perform to satisfied the fans
and bring back the old glory days of this franchise.

This is exactly why lakers acquired players like rondo, lance, mcgee, beasley and whatever else they got. During the regular season the young bloods will play with lebron as much as they can and they will learn a lot from him, specially lonzo will have the best chance because he will learn from rondo who is an amazing passer and lebron who is also amazing passer and play maker.

Nevertheless, come playoff time they will put forward people like beasley and lance and mcgee a lot more minutes and they will carry the load because as more veterans they are they can lift up that pressure of playing with lebron.

Young players may crack at playoffs considering they will have one year of critism playing with lebron and maybe failing to play perfectly but veterans won't have any issues with critism because they have already been critised to hell during all these years, specially someone like lance beasley mcgee and rondo who have all been really under the scope for what they have been doing.
This is the reason why they get veteran players in their roster. They want to furnish their young players so that they can be a good player in the next years. I agree with you that Lonzo will benefit the most in this roster because of Rondo who we know as one of the great passers. I hope he will learn from him.

Lebron will definitely carry some of the load in Lakers but I think it will not be the same as the last season. In playoffs, veterans will step up because they have the experience in it. Young players will play too but I don't think they will play long. For me, I don't think Lakers will go to NBA Finals for now but in the next years they will I think. Lets just wait for the young players to be an all star caliber players.

They'll blame it on Lebron if they fail.
The trend will say that when Lebron is the only star in a team, he has no capacity of bringing his team to win the Finals, like he did in cavaliers when
they were dominated. However, the Lakers have not played in the playoffs a long time ago so it's a great improvement once they will play in the playoffs.

I like how Lebron is and will ever be the player that everyone expects the most, hes has so much pressure on him and he knows how to take it. On and off the court hes an outstanding player and role model for kids. Magic has been doing a great job as well, he got some role players already and a young bench that can keep up with the pace of every team they play against.
Lakers is a better team now but reaching the finals, that is a lot of effort to do and luck as well, it means they have to beat the warriors.
Once they are in the finals, it seems like it's a guaranteed win for them because they have already beat the best team in the NBA which is in the west.

I don't know if we can call it stress, perhaps its a challenge for this kid to really play good along the King. Sure the bar has raised already, because they are really competing day in day out, but don't blame it on Lebron for putting pressure because it should be a collaborated effort, a team effort. And I'm sure that once those young player got a feel on how to play with Lebron then it will be easy for them and pressures (if any) will be taken off their shoulders.

Well the dilemma is that you'll always be second fiddle to lebron no matter how good you are. Try thinking of young players that really bloomed while playing with bron? Kyrie? Isaiah? Clarkson? Bron can win championships for you but he takes too much of the attention and responsibility. Well, some players would rather be called a champion anyways than a superstar.

If you are a veteran of the league I get that there is a lot of rightfully given stress put on you because how hard it is to criticize people that play with lebron however you are missing the "kid" part of it. Lakers have young players and these players may have their careers ruined after couple of bad games in a row. Jordan clarkson for example played with lebron however he was playing amazingly when he first came in, than playoffs happened and now everyone approaches to him like he is not the same player.

Look at rodney hood, clevland got him like he will change so much for the team but now he is not even getting offers. If you are a richard jefferson or channing frye or kevin love, everything will be alright but for clarkson or hood its not the same. I think that is the problem with lonzo, kuzma, ingram and co, they are alright but they will asked to be perfectly ready for lebron and they are too young for such a responsibility hence beasley, rondo, lance and all that will be fine with playing with lebron because they are already established.

 It is a double edge sword tho. If you are playing with lebron that means you are in spotlight but also lebron makes your life easier. That stress is put on people that plays with lebron for a reason, lebron gets the attention of defenses and usually gives you a pass that gets to you when you are wide open and all you have to do is shoot. You need to defend well when with lebron and you need to know your moves. Lebron makes your life easier so the critics are kinda right, if you can't play properly with lebron, you can't play anywhere else neither.
