LeBron James has been around the league enough. He knows that every year, every January, rumours start swirling around. But he's also aware that the rumours are much louder in LA. Particuarly if you are a part of the Los Angeles Lakers.
In a series of blunt statements, LeBron directly addressed the question of whether the Lakers need to make any moves to strengthen their roster. "I don't play Fantasy basketball," James said. "What I do is focus on the guys that are here in this uniform and coming to work every day. It's disrespectful to think about what we need or what we don't have. I don't do that to my teammates."
This statement reflects the centered and focused mentality of LeBron James, who prefers to concentrate on the present and work with the team's current players. His refusal to speculate on possible additions suggests a confidence in the current team's ability to improve and adapt.

Those words indicate satisfaction with the team's recent performance and a focus on building on that positive momentum.
