You donāt have to be a basketball genius to realize that the Los Angeles Lakers have a flawed roster. Even though theyāre riding an NBA-best five-game winning streak, LeBron James and Russell Westbrook could use some more help.
Anthony Davis cannot be trusted to stay healthy, and thereās no actual timetable for his return right now. Even with him back on the floor, the team should still try and make some moves to improve the roster.
Thatās why it didnāt take long before people started speculating about LeBronās future. His recent comments made it seem like heās not happy with the team, and his patience is running out.
NBA News: LeBron James Clarifies His Comments On The Front Office
āYāall know what the fā should be happening, I donāt need to talk.ā James told The Athleticās Sam Amick when asked about the Lakersā roster.āMan listen, I play the game. I worry about whoās in the locker room. I canāt ā itās not my ⦠itās not my job. I canāt do nobody elseās job,ā the veteran forward added.
But even though those were his exacts words, James didnāt care for Amickās report, and he took to Twitter to made it clear that heās not running out of patience; itās just that he didnāt want to talk about the GMās work:
āHey Sam actually my patience isnāt waning. You make it sound like Iām frustrated when Iām really not. I told you over and over, my job is focused on the guys in the locker room, my job isnāt the roster. Thatās the reality of that conversation. And I said what I said with the upmost [sic] respect and calmness cause thatās the mood Iām in! Your welcome! 5 game winning streak,ā James tweeted.
Of course, this has been LeBronās M.O. since he entered the league. He throws some passive-aggressive comments out in the air, and then acts like he didnāt meanthem. So, letās see howā or ifā Rob Pelinka reacts to his words.
