Charania I would expect the Lakers to look into all those players once free agency starts tonight DeAndre Ayton doesn't clear waivers until Wednesday so that'll take a little bit more time But the Lakers will be shoring up meetings from my understanding with other available FA centers tonight

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 Warriors initial offseason plan was to pair Curry and Draymond with LeBron and Anthony Davis With them being unable to trade for AD so far I think they believe LeBron isn't coming there

Charania Its decision time for LeBron James because all the information for the most part is in

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

Charania Rich Paul has met with multiple teams and has given LeBron all the information needed to make a decision but there is no timeline for the coming weeks Miami Cleveland and Philadelphia seem to be the likeliest options with Golden State and Minnesota still in the mix

Charania The Philadelphia 76ers are trying to make a pitch to free agent LeBron James The Warriors Cavaliers Heat 76ers and maybe one or two other teams are in the mix for James
