Haynes Lakers haven't done much You know they re-signed Max Christie Aside from that they're still waiting So they're waiting for that big fish You know the Lakers when they make moves they tend to make them they tend to make big moves

Haynes This was the Celtics super move and they feel really good about how they positioned themselves

Charania I'm told over the last 24-48 hours the Lakers came to the understanding that Austin Reaves had multiple max contracts available to him in free agency The Detroit Pistons were coming aggressively for him So that's why today the Lakers stepped up to give him this deal

Charania The Lakers have made it clear that they want him back but the one thing I do know is that multiple contenders are already circling If LeBron is really going to hit the open market and decide and have a true free agency he's not going to have a shortage of teams

Windhorst LeBron's intention is to play and the focus right now is making a deal with the Lakers They are negotiating I think he's going to try and make a deal with the Lakers The league generally believes the two sides are going to come together

Charania The big domino with the Warriors is trying to get a player like an Anthony Davis you can bring in LeBron James and Anthony Davis as a package deal Short of that theyre not really looked at right now at the top of this list

Windhorst Lakers reached out to LeBron to LeBrons representative to Rich Paul and said Wed like to have LeBron back OK But there have been no further talks as of today when I got this update LeBron has not you know made himself available to meet with the Lakers yet
