Watch: NBA Legend Paul Pierce Releases Surprising Statement About LeBron James’s Condition

The Los Angeles Lakers are in big trouble at the moment, and fans are getting really frustrated with the losses. Is there a miracle coming our way? Paul Pierce seems to know what is going on.

Fans were thrilled to hear that LeBron James is making his way to Los Angeles. However, it did not work. He was injured and missed a month. The Lakers are going down, and they may not make the playoffs. Is LeBron getting old? Well, let’s see what Paul Pierce has to say about it.

“If I were the Lakers, I would shut LeBron down. No, seriously. He’s getting older, he has to do too much for them to win. Just look at … he puts out a triple-double, and they can’t win. Just imagine if he really goes out and really exerts himself and has to go for 40… This season was a wash coming in to it. They weren’t contending from the jump.”

Pierce has a solid theory

“Why am I gonna put more wear and tear on LeBron? I need him for three more years. This window is this short. This window is this short to take advantage of LeBron now. He’s still — to me — I think he’s pretty much still injured.”

LeBron is clearly not in the best condition and he needed some extra time to rest and recover from the injury. The Lakers brought him on the floor too early, and these are the consequences.

The Anthony Davis rumors are also a problem. Some of the young players on the Lakers roster did not like the possibility that they leave the team just because the front office is trying to get a big name. Hopefully, they will work through it, and start winning games.

Is Magic Johnson working on the solution? His team needs to start winning games.
