Steve Kerr and the Warriors are hoping to put the incident, and the disappointing season, behind them as they embark on a new championship quest in 2023.</p><p>For the Warriors, role players have always been as big a part of their success as superstars like Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry. One of them, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-cory-joseph-fiba-world-cup-injury-update" rel="noopener">Cory Joseph revealed a sobering injury</a> update recently that has many concerned. New General Manager <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-mike-dunleavy-gets-brutally-honest-on-trading-jordan-poole-to-wizards" rel="noopener">Mike Dunleavy didn’t exactly lose</a> any sleep over the Poole trade, as he expects the team to return back to its drama-free ways without the former Michigan star.</p><p>With the offseason sliding toward its inevitable crescendo, the Warriors decided to work out a couple of well known ex-players who have earned a place in Dubs fans’ hearts, along with another former Michigan Wolverine star and a former Duke Blue Devil. According to reports, the <a href="https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1689068243040755712" rel="noopener">team has workouts planned</a> for Dion Waiters, Tony Snell, Kent Bazemore, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Harry Giles and Trey Burke, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.</p><p>All could provide a spark off the bench that was sorely lacking at times last season.</p><p>Last season Golden State finished tied for 11th in the NBA in overall team offense, even with Poole’s 20.1 points per game scoring average included.</p><p>Whether the Warriors can improve on that number depends largely on the growth of their young players including Jonathan Kuminga, as well as whether Chris Paul still has much juice left in the battery at the backup point guard position.</p><p>Last season, Toscano-Anderson averaged three points and shot nearly <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4401416/juan-toscano-anderson" rel="noopener">45% from the field</a> for the Utah Jazz. Bazemore <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/6637" rel="noopener">averaged 8.0 points</a> on 41% shooting for the Kings.</p><p>Neither player is a star on the same level of Poole, but both seem to fit the Warriors’ stated goal of enhancing team unity and returning to the Warriors’ tried-and-true formula of ball movement, camaraderie, and drama-free basketball on and off the court — excepting Draymond Green, of course.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Bazemore gave the perfect answer.</p><blockquote>“Dude was third in the league in scoring? I mean what else do you want him to do? He put his body through a lot this year to be there for us. The dude has done a lot, man, I mean he’s chasing Kareem (Abdul-Jabbar). He’s done a lot for the game. He’s given a platform to a lot of people. He’s changing the world. So I mean, for him it’s bigger than hoop. For us it’s bigger than hoop. We aren’t just basketball players at the end of the day. So we get up, we work hard, we try to do the best we can, and that’s all we can do.”</blockquote><p>It’s worth noting that Bazemore not only mentioned LeBron’s greatness on the court, but he also touched on LBJ’s social contributions. That’s why it’s quite unfathomable how many people still hate the <a href="https://foco.vegb.net/6OdQQ">Lakers</a> icon. They stubbornly refuse to acknowledge LBJ’s legacy.</p><p>Whatever vitriol is thrown at him, one thing’s for sure: The NBA will never have another guy like LeBron James.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

When asked if he’d like to run it back with LeBron James and the Lakers next season, Baze had a straightforward response.</p><p>According to the 6-foot-4 swingman, he’s very much interested in signing a new deal with the Lakers:</p><blockquote>“What I’ll say is nothing ain’t much better than being a Laker, right?” Bazemore said (h/t <a href="https://lakersdaily.com/kent-bazemores-response-when-asked-if-he-wants-to-run-it-back-with-the-lakers/">Sam Leweck of Lakers Daily</a>). “So, getting to see Kob numbers on the wall every day I went to practice was good inspiration for me. … There’s nothing like it, man.”</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>Bazemore <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-kent-bazemores-five-word-reaction-to-joining-la/">joined</a> the Lakers last summer on a one-year deal and he’s going to be a free agent in the summer. It is clear that he would relish the opportunity to run it back with LeBron and Co. next season in spite of the forgettable campaign the Lakers had in 2021-22. It remains to be seen, however, if LA wants him back or if they would rather let him walk away.</p><p>In 39 games played last season, Bazemore put up averages of <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/bazemke01.html#all_per_game-playoffs_per_game">3.4 points</a> and 1.8 rebounds in 14.0 minutes per contest.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

For those who haven’t seen it yet, there is a <a href="https://streamable.com/bluhbd" rel="noopener">video</a> trending online showing LeBron evicting Baze from his seat during a recent LA game and then leaving him hanging as the poor guy dapped himself up instead.</p><p>It was definitely a hilarious moment, and while Bazemore clearly didn’t care how he was snubbed (it seems LeBron didn’t notice him when he was asking to be dapped up anyway), the rest of the world still felt for him. After all, it hasn’t been a good season for the Lakers, and after he was promised a bigger role with the team, the last thing fans want to see is for Bazemore to get ignored.</p><p>Upon seeing the viral clip, James couldn’t help but react. Of course he didn’t mean to do that to Bazemore, so he made sure to apologize to his teammate. Still, he found it funny as proven by his <a href="https://twitter.com/BeatKit22/status/1513370419193335809" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> story.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Baze has no choice but to accept this apology from LeBron James 😂 <a href="https://t.co/zSqfbej9xX" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/zSqfbej9xX</a></p><p>— Kit Guinhawa (@BeatKit22) <a href="https://twitter.com/BeatKit22/status/1513370419193335809?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">April 11, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Greeting each other aside, LeBron James and the Lakers have bigger issues to address in the offseason. They are already out of playoff contention, and so their focus now shifts to what they can do to return to title contention.</p><p>The Purple and Gold franchise is expected to make several roster moves in the offseason. Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook have been linked in trade speculations, though sdome believe the Lakers will retain both players and instead overhaul the players around them in a bid to get younger and more athletic.</p><p>As for Kent Bazemore, his future with the Lakers remain in doubt as well. He is set to be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, and after playing sparingly throughout 2021-22, LA might have its reservations in bringing him back.</p><p>Hopefully, though, getting kicked out from his seat by LeBron and leaving him hanging won’t be his most memorable moment for the Lakers. The season didn’t go as planned and expected for him and the team, so maybe Rob Pelinka and co. would consider that as they look which player to re-sign and part ways with in the offseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
