Speaking with the media after a 116-102 loss to their cross-town rival LA Clippers, in response to some questions from Dan Woike of the LA Times, the Lakers star bemoaned the fact that the Lakers can't tolerate much error, appearing to blame it on the way the team is constructed.

With the trade deadline 17 days away, LeBron James may be sending a message to the front office that something needs to be done.

LeBron James and JJ Redick understand the Lakers have very little room for error if they're going to break out of "stuck" mode moving forward.

They have two future first-round draft picks and two second-round picks they can include in a potential trade before the deadline. On a recent episode of "Buha's Block," The Athletic insider Jovan Buha said he feels the team is trending toward making a smaller move rather than a bigger one (h/t Lakers Daily ).

Rumors suggest the Los Angeles Lakers could revisit trade talks with the Brooklyn Nets for a potential deal ahead of the deadline.
