The Los Angeles Lakers have gotten off to a dismal 0-4 start to begin the 2022-2023 NBA season and it looks like there will be no hope in sight for the 17-time NBA Champions. However, one famous Lakers fan thinks it’s time for a change.
Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, who is a huge Lakers fan, thinks that it’s time to let LeBron James move on.
“Dear Rob Pelinka, do something now,” tweeted Flea. “Either blow it all up and rebuild, or mortgage the future to fix the lack chemistry and skill on this basketball team. Do not let another season meander its way down the drain, wasting the great Lebron James’ sunset of his career.”

James extended his contract over the summer, so the likelihood of the Lakers trading him to another team is pretty small. Right now, he is the team’s best player and the Lakers’ issues seem to be from the three-point line. They are one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the NBA.
Another issue continues to be the play of Russell Westbrook. Rumors are that he may be benched to see if that will jump-start him.
Whatever they decide, the Lakers are going to have to do something soon to save their season and it may mean making a blockbuster trade.
