DON DEAl: Lakers sign a $45.2millions player it is a don…
After the most recent loss, Lakers supporters believe LeBron James has already given up on this season.
LeBron James seemed frustrated with the state of affairs following the Lakers’ latest setback, which may have been the most agonizing of the season.
Last Friday, James and the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Brooklyn Nets once more. In front of their own supporters at Crypto.com Arena, they were defeated 112-130. This point in the season and the moments leading up to the All-Star game the previous year, when everyone was calling for improved performance, have a lot in common. Following the defeat, LeBron James and coach Darvin Ham both appeared to be deeply disappointed with the outcome. LeBron wanted to tap out and forget about basketball for the duration of the weekend, despite Ham’s attempts to explain the present Lakers predicament. This was a very accurate reflection of the Lakers’ current situation.
LeBron James desires to watch the playoffs in the NFL.
A reporter questioned LeBron following the game about what the team could do to make sure that this most recent setback wouldn’t affect them in the upcoming game. James answered the question with a lack of humor, saying that the only thing he was interested in was watching the NFL Playoffs on Saturday. That response alone ought to be more than enough to make any Lakers fan concerned about the state of affairs right now. LeBron is reportedly tapping out this season until things get better on their own, according to many. However, what steps may be taken to improve the Lakers’ performance and pace?
Although the solution to this would appear quite obvious, none of the solutions are really that straightforward. The players and coach Darvin Ham, who led them to the Western Conference finals the previous season, appear to be at odds with one another. One approach would be to bring in a new coach, but another would be to bring in new players. We still have Zack LaVine of the Chicago Bulls and Dejounte Murray of the Atlanta Hawks as potential additions. Any one of those two talents joining the Lakers may provide a workable answer to the problems of the present. More critical, though, is that finding a path back to triumph requires a group of players who are already motivated.
