There's drama in Los Angeles already, as Lakers president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and head coach Luke Walton reportedly had a heated meeting recently, a meeting which has become well-publicized in the media. Lakers star LeBron James, however, doesn't think it's a big deal and says the team isn't focusing on it.

Magic Johnson reportedly was upset at Luke Walton for the team's slow start and the offense the coach was running. The Lakers enter Saturday with a record of 3-5.

Asked by reporters Saturday about the meeting, LeBron James said his focus and the team's remain solely on winning basketball games.

“It doesn't bother me at all because I don't pay attention to it, I don't listen to it,” James said, via Dave McMenamin of ESPN. “It actually never even gets to me really, so it's not a big deal for us. We need to figure out how we can string together some great games or even good games and bring our win total from where it is now. Because that's the business we're in. That's the only thing we want to do. We want to be as good a team as we can be and win ball games.

“We're still in the real early stages. But we are much more of a unit today than we were two weeks ago. So I think we'll be even better two weeks from now, and two weeks from then. I think every game, every road trip, every film session, every day that we're together is going to continue to get us more and more familiar with one another. You just have to learn each other and know what to expect out of one another, how to challenge each other.”

LeBron James and the Lakers take on the Portland Trail Blazers Saturday night on the road. Any team with the best player in the world on it is going to be under the microscope, and that's exactly what is happening with the Lakers right now.
