The Lakers’ trade deadline activity could determine their future with LeBron James, writes jovanbuha. LeBron has become increasingly direct about his dissatisfaction with the Lakers’ struggles. 'I’m a winner and I want to win.'
On the Lakers’ side, they haven’t held up their end of the bargain this season . The 2021-22 and 2022-23 supporting casts have been much worse than the 2019-20 and 2020-21 versions, featuring smaller players who are both worse defenders and shooters. Los Angeles had limited means to enhance the roster without making a trade — and they haven’t yet.
Pelinka mentioned the possibility of trading the organization’s first-round draft picks unprompted. The question he was responding to was regarding Westbrook’s future and the Lakers’ commitment to their polarizing star point guard. It wouldn’t make sense to bring up that possibility if it wasn’t something the Lakers were strongly considering internally.
“You have one shot to make a trade with multiple picks,” Pelinka said. “So if you make that trade, and I’m not talking about one particular player on our team, but it has to be the right one. You only get one shot to do it. So we’re being very thoughtful around the decision on when and how to use draft capital in a way that will improve our roster.
That’s obviously been frustrating to James, who is still performing like a top-10 player in the league. This season, he’s averaging 27.8 points, 8.1 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game — numbers that are rarely seen after a player turns 30, let alone one who is approaching 40. James has upped his averages over the past eight games, posting 31.8 points, 6.9 rebounds and 7.1 assists.
