Rivers is getting better and better. If James doesn t come back, there will be no place for him. Brownie has no confidence in his heart.

Rivers of the Lakers has become a recent traffic star. Without James and Doncic, he led the team to dazzling results, and his personal data is also very outstanding.

Especially the game that defeated the Timberwolves made Rivers' reputation even higher. Some media even reported that the Lakers were preparing to renew him with a five-year, US$240 million super contract. You must know that Rivers was an undrafted player and did not even have a serious ranking. However, he seized the opportunity in the Development League, took advantage of the Lakers' injury wave and was selected, and gradually achieved his current status. He looked like Ginobili, the peak demon sword of the year.

But Rivers is getting better and better, but it makes fans worry about James' position. It was also against the Timberwolves. Doncic could lead the team to a big victory, and Rivers could also lead the team to a stunning victory. However, the Lakers were easily swept home by the Timberwolves in the previous playoffs. Now that James has missed four games, it seems that it has not had much impact on the Lakers. What's even weirder is that even the media rarely talks about James. You must know that this is a well-known superstar, but it turns out that he can't make much splash.

After the start of the new season, the news that players and head coaches were suspected of gambling was instantly overshadowed. Subsequently, many players successively played amazing statistics, especially Alexander, Doncic and Jokic, who have established themselves as the mainstream of the league. Garnett and Pierce said that James was deliberately absent to put pressure on the Lakers to renew his contract, but now that the Lakers don't have James, they can't see anything wrong. On the contrary, Bronny is playing very poorly.

Fans are calling for James to come back as soon as possible, otherwise the team may not have a place. Doncic is already the team leader recognized by the management, and Rivers seems to be competing for the second place. Maybe James will become the third place after returning.
