The Lakers have won six of their previous seven games, but they are still the 12th seed in the western conference and appear to be competing with many other teams for a play-in place. With their current lineup, they are also unlikely to have a significant impact in the postseason. LeBron James has been struggling to assemble the necessary components around him to create a successful team for years, ever since the Lakers won the title in the 2020 Covid bubble season.
After Saturday’s 136-134 victory over the Sacramento Kings, the four-time MVP spoke to Sam Amick of The Athletic to express his dissatisfaction in just a few words. Also Read: Kevin Durant Injury Update- Forced to Leave Heat Game against The Nets due to right Knee Injury
LeBron James said, “Y’all know what the f—k should be happening.” I don’t have to speak.
The Lakers, who continue to be among the league’s worst three-point shooting teams, have needed shooters to surround James. Even while James has been thrilled with the team’s recent victories. He is obviously not satisfied with the front office changes.
Even though LeBron James doesn’t want to “speak,” he is nonetheless communicating. James, who is now 38, is playing historically spectacular basketball for the Lakers. Who are 19-21 and have won five straight games. He’s carried a shaky roster on his shoulders in three of his previous four games. Scoring at least 37 points while the Lakers wait for Anthony Davis to recover from a foot ailment. Without a trade, this Lakers club has no realistic prospect of challenging for a championship, even when Davis comes back.

LeBron James Trade?
“I’m a winner, and I want to win so that I can continue to compete for championships.” James said last month. “It has always been my desire. That has always been my objective since I entered the league as an 18-year-old boy from Akron, Ohio”.
“And I know it takes stages to get there. But once you get there and know how to get there, playing basketball at this level just to be playing basketball is not in my DNA. It’s not in my blood anymore.”
Without a question, James wants to finish his career with a victory. A move in the upcoming weeks may not be required if the Lakers can maintain their current performance. Keeping their first-round picks in 2027 and 2029 would be beneficial for the organization’s long-term prosperity after James has left.
However, a move now might be the best course of action to bring James and the Lakers back into the playoffs. Especially in light of the fact that Anthony Davis and other players are injured.
