ESPN's McMenamin tries to get yes-no response in a follow-up question about LeBron's Laker future If LeBron was interested in extending beyond this year are the Lakers interested in having LeBron as part of the team Rob Pelinka We would love if LeBron's story would be to retire as a Laker

Rob Pelinka on LeBron We probably haven't seen a player that has honored the game to the extent that he's honored the game He's given so much to his teammates to this organization The thing we want to do more than anything else is to honor him back

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

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

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

JJ Redick when asked how close the Lakers are to competiting for titles - That's what we gotta figure out this offseason Proceeds to praise his players on how they handled the season individually and collectively

LeBron James responds to the comments made by Jabari Smith Jr I don't care about shit like that I'm too old for that shit
