The Lakers can create up to $50 million in space and James may be willing to be flexible on his contract depending on how the team uses the space to upgrade its roster as Luka Doncic begins his second full season with the team. “There was a check-in call made, to my understanding, early in free agency once teams were able to start negotiating with their own free agents after the end of the NBA Finals,” said ESPN’s Shams Charania on NBA Today. “Since then though there hasn’t been much communication, from my understanding, between the Lakers and LeBron James’ side. And certainly not an offer yet. “They’re trying to see what can they do with his $50 million of space, potentially, and then where does that leave LeBron?”
