Magic Johnson, keeping a big-picture eye on LeBron James' usage, reiterated Thursday that the Los Angeles Lakers will continue to follow their offseason plan of trying to lighten James' load compared to how he was utilized with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
"We are trying to make sure that we watch his minutes but also that we don't run everything through him because now it is Cleveland all over again and we don't want that," Johnson said in an interview on SiriusXM NBA Radio. "We want to get up and down."
