Los Angeles Lakers: Charles Barkley invites LeBron James to the TNT Studios for one night!

Charles Barkley made predictions about the Lakers that were spot on 

The one thing I’ve always respected about Charles Barkley is the fact that he will state his opinion without worrying about what people think. I never really understood until I started writing for a Lakers website and pointing out the possible issues that the Lakers could have coming out of the gate.

First, he stated that the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Denver Nuggets and San Antonio Spurs would finish higher in the standings than the Los Angeles Lakers. Now in the video, you will notice that his predictions were written down for the end of the season. That panned out.

Then he went into depth on what the Lakers were doing wrong.

"“What kind of team are they? Are they gonna let those young guys play, or are they going to put those old guys out there? That’s why I didn’t understand because those old guys are not their future. Ball, Kuzma, Brandon Ingram — that’s their future. So, I don’t know what the Lakers are doing. Are they going to try to groom those young guys and go forward with LeBron, or are they going to play those old guys? I think that’s going to be the most fascinating thing. I mean, I have no idea what the Lakers are doing. Are they a young team or are they an old team? I think that’s what I’m gonna be watching for the most.”"

Let’s be clear here. This is nowhere near LeBron James’ finest hour. He had arguably his worst season as a pro. The season was actually worse than everyone expected and the crew WILL ask questions about the chaos that is going on with the Lakers.

They will ask for details about how Luke Walton and Magic Johnson made their exits. Oh, by the way, I can flat guarantee you that this picture will be up on the screen.

Remember, Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson are close friends. I’m guessing Charles Barkley will ask some pointed questions that will be very uncomfortable for LeBron to answer. Why?
