I get their philosophy now… he’s not playing back to backs. So you ask, what’s the best way to ensure a win? You play against the bucks, you could win or lose. You play against the Grizzlies, you’re probably winning. Plus conference opponent. 6 game trip. Not mad at it.

If he plays the bucks and you lose, you’re without him for Memphis, and that game is a toss up. Plus extra rest for the trip. Both sides make sense tbh. If the Memphis game was at home, I’d agree.

It’s really this simple. LeBron is so great you forget the guy is almost 40. Like he’s not a robot. He gets fatigued. He’s playing hurt. He’s earned the right to sit on a back to back. It’s just the Lakers being smart here, but people can’t seem to understand that.
