With the NBA’s trade deadline closing in, Lakers star forward LeBron James expressed the utmost confidence in the team’s current roster, but didn’t want to rule out potential moves should the possibility arise.
Speaking with reporters on Monday ahead of Thursday’s deadline, James explained that Los Angeles will try to upgrade through trade if an opportunity presents itself. If one doesn’t, the 37-year-old is content to move forward with the team as is.
“I've always felt like ... listen, I don’t really like to play fantasy basketball. This is the group we have going into the deadline, we’ll be ready to take on all challenges that this season has given us,” James said, per NBA.com’s Mark Medina. “If there is an opportunity, I’ve said this every year, if there is an opportunity to get better than you explore those options. I’ve been like that my whole career, I’ve said that over and over. If you have the opportunity to get better, no one turns that down.
