LeBron James put on a sensational performance against the Sacramento Kings to secure a 136-134 victory on Saturday. The four-time NBA MVP showed his A-game by scoring 37 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists, leading the Lakers to secure their fifth straight victory despite the absence of Anthony Davis. The Lakers roster has been the biggest topic of discussion among experts since the end of last season. After the chatters of a Russell Westbrook trade died down a bit, Anthony Davis seemed to be leading the team to greener pastures with a series of brilliant performances. However, Davis was sidelined in mid-December due to a right foot injury causing more problems for the Lakers roster. Recently, LeBron James vented his frustrations about the Lakers’ roster situation, prompting sharp reactions from NBA fans on Twitter.

James recently gave an honest take on the trade situation for the LA side, as he pointed out the lack of options on the squad and the Lakers’ management’s reluctance to trade the 2027 and 2029 first rounds picks. However, James’ frustrations gave way to criticism from the fans.

I don’t need to talk.”

LeBron appeared to be frustrated by the Lakers’ current roster setup. Yet again like last season, he is forced to shoulder the weight of the team in the absence of an injury-prone Anthony Davis.
