Again, blame the 40 year old who was the only one to even show up for the Lakers all you want, but it won't change what actually happened. LeBron was the least of their problems last night.

Next season - yes.
Potentially by the playoffs this season.
But right now, having gone 6 weeks without playing basketball and with a low body injury that pretty well prevents him from being able to stay in basketball shape -- of course not. That's silly. He's new to the system and working his way back into game shape.
James is still the Mahomes of this squad. In time, that will change. I don't think there's any reasonable way to argue that it already has. I certainly don't think Lebron thinks it has, any outward assurances to the contrary notwithstanding.
