Lakers Star LeBron James Hints at Changing the Roster as Lakers Target .500 This Season
LeBron James scored 37 points in another spectacular performance as the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the excellent Sacramento Kings last night, keeping up their strong run of success. The Lakers appeared to be on the verge of a season-ending collapse when superstar Anthony Davis went down with an injury. Davis had been performing at MVP-caliber levels and there was no current estimate for when he would return.
However, the Lakers’ success has been largely attributed to James’ brilliance, with role players stepping up significantly in recent weeks to support James. LeBron James spoke with The Athletic about the lack of action on the trade front after his performance in the Lakers’ victory against the Sacramento Kings, which extended their winning run to a season-high five games. James made himself extremely plain.

LeBron James is alluding to the Lakers sacrificing one or both of their two remaining first-round selections in the future draughts in 2027 and 2029 in order to acquire his services. However, the front staff has been hesitant to part with either asset out of concern that doing so would put an average team’s future at risk. James has previously used the media to make subversive remarks in an effort to put pressure on the front office.
