It was a nightmare start to pre-season for the LA Lakers, and LeBron James has been warned of the 'problems' he could face this season.
It was an underwhelming season for the Lakers last time out, and with just a 0.402 win percentage they failed to qualify for the play-offs. But it looks like they may be in for another poor year after suffering a brutal 75-105 loss to the Sacramento Kings to begin their pre-season campaign.
The Kings finished lower than the Lakers last season, and are suffering the longest play-off drought in NBA history. But after humiliating the Lakers on Monday night, James has been warned that there is no improvement, which will alarm the 37-year-old.
