Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James has been subject to a whirlwind of speculation since last season, centering on whether he does or doesn’t want to join the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency. And his latest comment on Staples Center is going to do nothing to quell those whispers.
The most-recent report painted James joining the Lakers as ‘a longshot,’ but that hasn’t done anything to stop the assumption that he’ll be Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka’s first call of free agency on July 1, 2018.
So even though it normally wouldn’t be news, James talking about enjoying playing Christmas Day games in Staples Center within the context of all the noise about his free agency intentions is certainly worth paying attention to, via Cleveland.
