He was listed as questionable in games against the Trail Blazers and Warriors. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just that it\u2019s terrible optics alone that is making the LeBron \u201cat the Super Bowl but not playing tonight\u201d Not only is the narrative negative, but it could also hurt the team&#8217;s chances of making the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>LeBron only wanted a team. This is what we know. They didn&#8217;t know if it was suggesting that Kyrie Irving should be drafted. However, he reported that he encouraged the Lakers front office team to create the best possible team.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, they did exactly that. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LeBron sat with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RealMikeWilbon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RealMikeWilbon<\/a> to share his thoughts on the Lakers not being able to trade for his former teammate Kyrie Irving:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can\u2019t sit here and say I\u2019m not disappointed on not being able to land such a talent.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2smRTk3Y0c\">pic.twitter.com\/2smRTk3Y0c<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ESPN (@espn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/espn\/status\/1622692534194475035?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 6, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"h-the-nba-all-star-game-is-sunday\">THE NBA ALL-STAR GAME IS SUNDAY<\/h3>\n<p>The Lakers made three trades and brought in six new players to help LeBron\u2019s dreams of another championship <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverscreenandroll.com\/2023\/2\/9\/23593160\/lakers-roster-after-nba-trade-deadline-trades-draft-picks-contracts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">with the help <\/a>of additions like Malik Beasley, Rui Hachimura and D\u2019Angelo Russell.
