Considering the current circumstances going on with LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, it seems he may be running out of time. The fact that he is among the best players in the league has not prevented the soon-to-be 38-year-old from having a difficult year, especially considering his injury history. As a result, it is becoming more concerning for Lakers fans as to how long James will remain with the team. Moreover, the Laker’s recent 112-98 loss to the Miami Heat clearly generated frustration due to the absence of star players on the roster.?
