Apparently Lebron is going to take a "cautionary approach" with his injury and may not return until mid to late November. I sort of think he's checked out in LA and will take a relaxed approach all year. I mean he clearly didn't like the whole "LA is moving forward with Luka, Luka's our #1 guy" sentiments all offseason either through his own actions or Rich Paul on his behalf.
Worth monitoring. I still have LAL as a 5 seed in the West and they did improve in the offseason especially with some defensive additions. But make no mistake that team is going to need a healthy and engaged Luka AND Lebron to really make a deep run ultimately.
