LeBron James and Anthony Davis are reportedly 'growing concerned' about the Lakers' lack of trades.
"With the Feb. 6 trade deadline a little more than two weeks away, league sources told ESPN that James and Davis are growing concerned about the Lakers' ability to make significant roster upgrades with their two tradeable first-rounders," Charania wrote.
While the Lakers have canvassed the league for potential deals as the trade deadline is approaching, they haven't made a move since In recent weeks, coach JJ Redick and James have both noted that the Lakers have no margin for error in games due to a thin roster. Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood were expected to be key pieces of the team's rotation but have missed the entire season so far.
The Lakers are currently 23-18 and sit in sixth place in the Western Conference. The general feeling around the NBA is that the league is wide open this year. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder are outpacing everyone else, but it's really anyone's title to take. The Lakers will keep attempting to improve the roster but if they can't, James and Davis likely won't be happy.Ryan Phillips is a senior writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
