At this point in the season, LeBron James and the Lakers are beyond desperate. The team is lagging horribly in the West at 13th place after winning just 5 of its last 5 games. In other words, if there was ever a counterpoint to what they wanted to do this season, they have certainly found it.
It is clear that the team needs reinforcements, and many thought Kyrie Irving would provide them before the current campaign. And they only got stronger once the former Nets star submitted a trade request.
But as fate would have it, Irving would soon team up with Luka Doncic as a Dallas Maverick.
The King was expected to be unhappy, but none anticipated that he would make his feelings known to the public.
But recently, he made the decision to express his feelings to the world in that precise manner.
Let’s get started without further ado.
LeBron James gets real on the Kyrie Irving situation
LeBron James is one of those athletes who is fully aware of his public image. As a result, he rarely expresses himself negatively, and when he does, does it with great restraint.
As a result, many people were anticipating one of those canned, prepared replies when he made his statement about Kyrie Irving public.
However, it turned out that James was in the mood to shock every single NBA fan. Watch the man do this in the tweet below that contains the video footage.
“Definitely disappointing… We had an opportunity, it didn’t happen… we finish this season strong & try to get a bid into the postseason where I feel, when healthy, we can compete with anybody.”

You won’t encounter a more combative answer in the NBA of today.
LeBron James may claim that he has already turned his attention away from the Kyrie Irving debacle. Something, though, tells us that it won’t quit squeezing his behind for a very long time.
especially if Uncle Drew can help Luka Doncic win a title.
And as a result, the Lakers GM Rob Pelinka’s error may cost them, LeBron James, very soon.
