The Golden State Warriors reportedly reached out to the Los Angeles Lakers in regards to superstar LeBron James' situation this summer, but insider Jovan Buha believes there's more to the story.
Buha believes the rumors came from the Golden State side of the deal to make it look like they were doing something after a stagnant summer revolving around Jonathan Kuminga.
The Lakers signed free agent Augustas Mariciulionis to an Exhibit 10 training camp deal this summer, and the guard discussed why he chose the Lakers with the Milwaukee Bucks also in talks with him.
"They showed me a lot of attention both in interviews and when it came to signing," Marciulionis said. "I'm glad I'm in a good environment that believes in me — that's the most important thing."
