The new-look Los Angeles Lakers are heading into the 2019-20 season with the intention of starting LeBron James at point guard, league sources told Yahoo Sports. James, 34, will be entering his 17th NBA season and is prepared to become the floor general in an effort to maximize a roster that's suddenly built to contend for a championship with the addition of All-Star forward Anthony Davis and a few complementary pieces. James, a four-time league MVP, and newly acquired Danny Green are expected to start in the backcourt, sources said.
