McMenamin I spoke to Rich PaulHe wanted to make it clear that the Lakers weren't blindsided by his statement or the decision to opt in The Lakers were operating under an assumption that Lebron would be opting in Klutch and Lebron James didn't ask for an extension

Charania I do know a lot of teams are calling LeBron and his camp I spoke to Rich Paul last week and he told me every contender in the NBA has essentially placed a call since the season ended

Fischer Last Tuesday I said that there were many people around the league who thought that LeBron should take a veteran minimum salary It does not sound like that is actually in the cards at all I wanna be very very clear about that after some text messages and phone calls I received

Game Over with Max Kellerman and Rich Paul Blazers owner Tom Dundon defends hotel room decision I would do it again If thats too hard for people then Im not right for them I want that culture

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
