Their struggles could be attributed to injuries, as James and Davis have endured rough spells in the past two seasons. Last year, they brought in Russell Westbrook to help with the load, but it was a failed experiment as the Lakers missed the playoffs. The Lakers are still confident in Davis' abilities and are once again relying on him to lead the line.

Given their offseason moves, Pierce does not think the Lakers are title contenders. On "KG Certified," he highlighted James' age and the fact that they do not have enough supporting cast: (From 15:58) "I'm not seeing the Lakers as a legit contender. For one, LeBron is a year older.

Both teams have an equal opportunity to contend for the 2023 title. But the Celtics are favorites following last year's performance. They have also gotten better with the acquisition of Malcolm Brogdon.

The LA Lakers still arguably have the greatest player in league history, but age is not on James' side. Nonetheless, the 37-year-old has shown that he can still deliver after averaging 30.3 points last season.
