Lakers vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka has noticed how LeBron James has 'slimmed up' during the offseason.
The 6-9 James was listed as weighing 250 pounds last season. Entering his 19“I think the thing that stands out is his fitness level, and he’s slimmed up,” Pelinka said on a videoconference call with reporters Thursday afternoon. “I think ... we all know LeBron studies the greats and he adds things into his game and I think going into this stage of his career he’s made a decision to come back a little bit leaner and I think that’s going to translate in explosiveness and quickness.
“He’s been very, very locked in with his training and you just get a sense he has a confidence in his teammates, he really does,” Pelinka said. “I think when he looks around the locker room and sees the nameplates or with the guys he’s been on the court with, you can just tell he has a high level of confidence in his teammates and what this team could accomplish this season if we all lock in.”
NBA All-Star Ben Simmons has again told the 76ers he’s done and will not report to camp next week. The Times examines the L.A. possibilities.
