NBA Free Agent Rumors: LeBron James to LA? Pending Questions for Lakers

J.A. Adande, what are you talking about? The sports columnist subtly mentioned on ESPN that he spoke with a general manager who said not to "rule out the Lakers for anything short of LeBron James..." At first, it sounds like he's saying that the Lakers are eyeing LeBron in a yellow and purple jersey. Now, as ridiculous, far-fetched, (you fill in the blank) as that may sound, let's not close the gate too early. Yet, a reader kindly pointed out that I misunderstood J.A. What J.A. must have meant to say was that the Lakers can be in the mix of landing one of the big-named free agents this summer. Does that still include LeBron James? (Considering the Lakers' cap space, and Buss wanting to shed dollars, I highly doubt it). Let's not let the LeBron-Laker ordeal be the main focus for our 2010 NBA champions.
