When LeBron James signed an extension contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, the idea was to build a championship team around James. This season, LeBron has led the way with an average of 29 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game. In the second place, the Lakers have Anthony Davis, who is currently injured. However, the rest of the team is miles away from holding averages close to that of LeBrons. With this in mind, Laker Nation has experienced the feeling of frustration on several occasions. A majority of the frustration is towards the front office for their decisions and plans. This feeling only seems to grow strong, especially with the latest trade update.

As the discussions around the trade season amp up, reports stated that the Lakers front office “are not willing to trade the (draft) picks”. The Lakers have first-round picks in 2027 and 2029. Their focus is on making trade deals without having to sacrifice these picks. The report also stated that these discussions are only “rumblings”. But the talk of the town is that they are “guarding” these picks. The release of this news has caused chaos online.

Frustrations echoes online after the trade update

As per fans, with the way the front office is moving ahead, LeBron James’ legacy and the hope of winning another title are under threat. Some stated that the team made false promises of building a championship team to the four-time MVP while he agreed to sign the deal. They predicted that James would request a trade at the end of the season. Furthermore, fans claimed that nothing could make the team suited for championship gameplay and continued to attack the front office. Here are some of the reactions:

The win against Miami Heat without LeBron James

While fans continue to express this displeasure toward the front office, today they have a reason to celebrate the team. Without the likes of LeBron and Anthony Davis, the Los Angeles Lakers bagged their third straight win. This win came during overtime against the Miami Heat.
