The Los Angeles Rams don’t appear to have too many holes on their roster following their busy offseason. The Rams let go of Cooper Kupp, but signed Davante Adams to replace him as the de facto X receiver in head coach Sean McVay’s offense. They also addressed a couple of positions in the 2025 NFL Draft, namely tight end, running back and linebacker. Los Angeles’ vulnerable spot on paper appears to be their secondary as they didn’t add any meaningful players in free agency or the draft.

The advantage of having someone like Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James on a team is that he operates both as a superstar and coach on the floor. James’ basketball IQ is well-regarded in the NBA as he’s able to diagnose and dissect the floor instantaneously and make the right play. While James shut down any possibility of becoming a head coach, he certainly has the basketball acumen for it given his deep understanding of how every piece matters on a winning team.

LeBron James just wrapped up his 22nd season in the NBA and he showed he still has some gas left in the tank as he wound up being named to the All-NBA Second Team for his 2024-25 season performance. James led the Los Angeles Lakers to a 50-win season and the third seed in the Western Conference, accomplishments that were unprecedented for the 40-year-old. While the Lakers were quickly eliminated in the first round, it was hardly James’ fault as he was one of the best players in the series.
