Report: Lakers promised LeBron they would compete to get him to extend, and he doesn’t want to waste another season

The Los Angeles Lakers, sitting at 2-9 and just half a game out of last place in the Western Conference, have not been competitive this season. And from the sound of the latest leaks, LeBron James — as you would expect — is less than pleased about that.

Chris Haynes of TNT and Bleacher Report dropped his latest story on the latter outlet on Friday afternoon, and in addition to teasing some trade scuttlebutt about who the Lakers may be interested in and who they are and aren’t receiving calls about on their own roster, he also made it clear that there is an overall push for improvement and moves are coming straight from LeBron James.
