There is no doubt about the fact that LeBron James is one of the all-time greats ever to grace the sport of Basketball. With just a few points behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar\’s record, he may very well be the highest points scorer by the end of the current. However, none of this undermines the reality that James hasn\’t seemed like his former self on the court ever since the season began.
The sheer dominance associated with James has been missing this season. Previously, James was bedridden because of a viral infection. After that, James now has injury issues with his left foot. It is sad for his fans to see King James missing his groove and his advanced age finally catching up with him. Meanwhile, it has also given rise to the buzz that the Lakers may need to look ahead of LeBron.
Buzz About A Potential LeBron James Trade Going On!
The Los Angeles Lakers are once again having a terrible time this season, as seen by their dismal 2-7 record. But they may be in for even more agony in the years to come. On Sunday, the Cleveland Cavaliers overpowered the Los Angeles Lakers, who fell 100-114 to LeBron James\’ former team. As a result, some supporters have already demanded that the Lakers trade James. The recent high-profile transactions the Lakers have made, most notably the one involving Anthony Davis, have cost them many future draft selections.
In the NBA fraternity, LeBron James is still regarded as one of the best players. But it\’s unlikely that he will be able to maintain that level of performance for very long, given his age. James is not tradeable this year. But the Lakers might have a major issue if he leaves after the current campaign. James was purchased by the Lakers in 2018, while Davis joined them in 2019 after leaving the New Orleans Pelicans. In 2020, they and the Lakers won the NBA title, and everything appeared to be going great. However, for the past two seasons, things do seem to be going the Lakers\’ way.
LeBron James has been the center of the Lakers squad, and the rest of the was constructed around him. However, the same cannot be true for the long term because James could not choose to conclude his career in this way, making a future move plausible. The squad has had to rethink its strategy after suffering seven losses so far this season.
King James\’ Left Foot Injury Looming Concerns!
The Lakers are looking at a very unpleasant season if they continue as they are doing currently. Constant injury concerns for the team have been a huge problem. Things are only going from bad to worse as LeBron James missed Monday\’s game against Utah Jazz. James\’ absence was heavily felt by the team as they lost their eighth game of the season against Jazz by \’116-139\’. Lebron missed the last night\’s game owing to soreness in his left foot. In addition, his availability for Thursday is also doubtful.
