Recently, Arenas talked about the Lakers on Matt Barnes' podcast.

Barnes: "Does playing next to Doncic mean that he has to accept being the second or third boss?"

Arenas: When Luka came, he was already the second boss. Because considering your age, if you are still the first choice of the team, we will not be able to win. If we ask a 41-year-old player to score 30 points a night and be in control, we don't need that. What we need is that when it's your turn to score 20 points, you score 20 points. Now that you are 41 years old, just take it easy and just shoot three-pointers and layups. You don't have to fight hard every time. Doncic will do the collision work, and Reeves will do it. "

Barnes: "Can he accept it? "

Arenas: "Of course. Don't forget, LeBron has been in the league for more than 20 years. He has played on every Olympic team and worked with all kinds of selfish players. He has never seen any big storms. He played with the best players in the league in the All-Star Game, won the All-Star Game MVP, worked with everyone, experienced everything, and saw big storms. So for him, it was easy. Sometimes when we ask these questions, it's like questioning his ability to adapt and questioning his intelligence - but he is a player with a high intelligence. So he looked at these young people and knew how to adapt. If winning is the goal and winning a championship is the goal, he knows who should lead the team and who should end the game. "
