LeBron James strongly refuted on Twitter about an article that characterized him as becoming increasingly frustrated with the LA Lakers front office for failing to trade draught picks to improve the current roster.
Sam Amick of The Athletics, published a synopsis of his brief conversation with LeBron James after the Lakers' win over the Sacramento Kings. That was the Lakers' fifth win in a row, putting them at 19-21 and on the cusp of the Western Conference playoff picture.
Throughout the conversation with Amick LeBron James repeatedly refused to express any dissatisfaction with the Lakers' management.
LeBron said: " I play the game. I worry about who's in the locker room. I can't-it's not my ... it's not my job. I can't do nobody else's job."
James had also made an ominous remark: "Y'all know what the f**ck should be happening. I don't need to talk." In his tweets, James further wrote putting up the issue of Amick's write-up about him.
James tweeted: "Hey Sam actually my patience isn't waning. You make it sound like I'm frustrated when I'm really not. I told you over and over, my job is focused on the guys in the locker room, my job isn't the roster. That's the reality of that conversation."
He further wrote: "And I saw what I said with the... Upmost respect and calmness that's the mood I'm in! Your welcome! 5-game winning streak."
James' level of play without Anthony Davis has directly led to wins and surprising post-game comments, LeBron appears to have increased the pressure on the front office in recent weeks.
