LOS ANGELES — The Lakers finally broke their 11-game losing streak to the Denver Nuggets with a cathartic win at Crypto.com Arena. The crowd sang “I Love LA” as the buzzer sounded, but the reality of the moment was sobering as the Lakers still trailed in the series 3-1.

LeBron James, the grand old man of the NBA, once again finds himself at a crossroads. His greatness demands urgency, especially given his age. In Game 4, he led the Lakers with 30 points, showing flashes of his brilliance. But the question remains: What do you do with him?

As the Lakers face the inevitable end of their playoff run, the focus shifts to the future. James, who can become a free agent this summer, poses a dilemma for the franchise. Can he continue to be the team’s best player and lead them to championship contention at the age of 40?

The league has evolved, and the Lakers must navigate a changing landscape to build around James. With the rise of teams like the Nuggets, Thunder, Timberwolves, and Celtics, the Lakers need to find a new path to satisfy James in his later years.

James’ basketball IQ is unmatched, adding pressure on the Lakers to make the right moves. The duality of James presents a challenge – can he be convinced that being right isn’t always the best option?

As the clock ticks on James’ career, the Lakers must find a way to maximize their time with him. The upcoming summer promises to be interesting, with potential roster changes that could impact James and the Lakers’ future.

In the end, the Lakers must focus on the present and the next game ahead. For James, it’s all about winning and extending their playoff run. The clock is ticking, and the pressure is on for both James and the Lakers to make the most of their time together.
