The four-time league MVP, who turns 38 later this week, is not quite the player he once was, but he is still a great one. And his calls for help are falling on deaf ears.
: “It becomes increasingly challenging to justify trading a first-round pick if the group continues to struggle. The front office doesn’t want to compound its previous mistakes with more win-now moves.”
James’ relationship with the front office has felt strained for some time. There was discomfort throughout the organization during his first season in L.A.,. The Lakers didn’t make a move at the deadline in his third season, though James’ and Davis’ injuries that year might have made them skittish. James called out the roster as loudly as possible in February,. Over the summer, the chances of James reuniting with Kyrie Irving seemed like a possibility .
In the last three seasons, the roster has only bled talent. The front office’s trades have largely harmed the team’s competitiveness and put more load on James, whose ability to single-handedly influence winning is waning. Instead of half-measures, the Lakers have lately resorted to no measures at all, and now seem less willing to do anything in a season when there is absolutely no incentive to tank.
