LeBron Says Lakers ‘Have Enough’ To Win 2020 NBA Finals

The 2019-20 NBA trade deadline is on Feb. 6. Will the Los Angeles Lakers try to sign another big name? According to superstar LeBron James, they have enough talent to win the 2020 NBA Finals. Some say the Lakers are one piece away from being favorites. They are contenders, remember?

The piece may arrive through a trade, free agency, and the buyout market. Many analysts agree that the Lakers need another big name.

LeBron and his team defeated the Brooklyn Nets, and the Philadelphia 76ers are next on their list. King James talked about the trade deadline and his team following the win over the Nets. These comments added fuel to the fire, suggesting that LeBron makes the big moves behind the scenes. Some even call him “a de-facto team executive.” LeBron is often asked about the status of his current roster, and most of these questions come during the trade season.

After the win over the Nets, one reporter wondered if the Lakers are “one piece away” from competing for a championship.

“We have enough right now,” LeBron responded. He played pretty wisely with this one.

The Lakers have enough for the 2020 NBA Finals

This response will sure inspire confidence in his teammates. LeBron won’t shake things up, and his team is doing a really good job at the moment. They won the game against the Nets, and it was an awesome 128-113 win that gave them a 36-9 record. Los Angeles has won eight of their last 10 games, and they have a four and a half-game lead in the Western Conference. The Lakers are three games back of the Milwaukee Bucks for the best record in the NBA and are top-five in offensive and defensive rating lists.

What about the “right now” part of his response? This sure leaves enough room for speculation. The buyout season may change everything. Players get injured really easily, and some struggle with a drop in their performance. The Lakers have played really smart this season, and they better keep playing at this pace. Let’s see what happens in the next couple of weeks. Will they invest in another big player?
