LeBron James' agent has interesting comment during WCF broadcast

LeBron James’ agent Rich Paul may have accidentally slipped on what the Los Angeles Lakers star plans to do this offseason.

James has a $51.4 million player option for next season. If James opts out of the final year of his deal, he would instantly become the most intriguing free agent in recent memory.

Earlier this month, the Lakers forward expressed that he still wasn’t sure about what he plans to do this offseason. But James’ agent Paul may have mistakenly tipped James’ hand.

On Friday, Paul appeared on TNT’s alternative broadcast of Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks. Paul was asked about the Lakers’ head coaching vacancy and dropped an interesting tidbit.

“Look, LeBron’s a free agent. I’ve got to be focused on his business. And he should be focused on his business. And let the Lakers hire whoever they want to hire,” said Paul.
