LeBron James’ Bay Area debut as a Laker won’t be in Oakland

With The Decision 3.0 over and LeBron James now a Los Angeles Laker, it’s naturally time to see when he’ll begin his new rivalry with the Warriors.

Hint: It won’t be in Oakland or Los Angeles. Try San Jose and Las Vegas.

The Warriors and LeBron are first scheduled to meet for a pair of preseason games in October, including King James’ first game in San Jose on Friday, Oct. 12 at SAP Center.

The defending champion Warriors also take on LeBron’s Lakers for the first time two days earlier in Vegas.

The meeting in San Jose is the Lakers’ preseason finale, so it’s a good bet LeBron will see some decent playing time.
