LeBron James and his representative Rich Paul reportedly met with Lakers vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka on Thursday, per ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.
The Klutch Sports representative told ESPN that the conversation was “productive,” but both sides will continue talking about James’s future in Los Angeles.
Thursday marked the four-time NBA champion’s first day of eligibility to sign a contract extension with the Lakers. However, James isn’t expected to sign anything for a while, as he doesn’t have to decide on a contract extension until June 30, 2023.
