Its obviously that James wanted to get more rings. And perhaps he also wanted to bring championship back to LA again since Kobe has left already. Well he is still playing great as shown last year so. I think he can still deliver. But the question is how coach Walton will adjust his plays to Lebron's. I guess he has a lot of homework to do right now so let's see if he can bring LA back to the finals again with Lebron as the anchor together with the young guys. Haven't seen any reaction though from other NBA stars specially from the West Side.
If may not be enough to beat GSW and Rockets for the next season but I'm sure that the Lakers are thinking long term for James and might slowly rebuild the team in the next coming years to at least contend in the Western Conference. Cavs was not a good team last year as well but he was able to bring them to the finals.
