In their final game before the trade deadline, the Lakers suffered another disappointing loss, this time to the Trail Blazers 107-105. After the game, LeBron James explained the team’s mindset heading into the trade deadline.
“Obviously, this is something that's weighing on this group that we're all trying to get through,” James said, via ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. “Almost feels like it's a fog, just fog in the air. And we're all trying to see what's on the other side of it.”
James also expressed exhaustion with the season thus far after last night’s loss, and is only focused on getting back to winning.
