Beijing time on February 19 news, recently los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl won the championship, Rams general manager Snyder became the focus. This person is obsessed with exchanging draft picks for instant players, believing that winning is in the present. His words, along with his profile picture, were printed on the T-shirt, and Snyder himself put it on. It is worth mentioning that James also forwarded this picture. The media speculated that this was James expressing dissatisfaction with the Lakers management.
The Lakers didn't make a single trade before the deal deadline. Neither did he replace the sluggish Wei Shao, nor did he replace the useless Tucker, and he did not let go of the 2027 first-round draft pick. James didn't express any views on lakers management in public, but there's no doubt he should be uncomfortable in his heart, after all, his peak has not been a few years.
There is no way, the Lakers must rely on the existing lineup to play the entire season. In fact, for James, his only goal is to win the championship. But according to the Lakers' current lineup and state, it is a surprise to be able to directly enter the playoffs, and if the fans are eliminated in the playoffs, they do not need to be surprised, and it is even possible that they will not be able to enter the top 10. Barkley predicted that the Lakers would not make the playoffs.
At present, the Lakers' situation has once again become very difficult. Davis suffered another ankle injury and was suspended for at least a month. After the truce, Davis still needs time to get back in shape. That is, the Lakers will hold out without Davis, at least until the end of March, and the regular season ends in mid-April. If the Lakers had fallen behind by then, Davis might not have had to make a comeback.
On the other hand, the Lakers are the first in the West in terms of difficulty in the schedule after the All-Star, which poses a greater challenge to the Lakers, whose lineup is very badly aging. Perhaps James' biggest goal now should be to adjust to health after playing this season and continue to accumulate data for himself.
