Most of the free agents that the Lakers have this summer were not part of the long-term plans and simply were one-year rentals to free up this summer.
All signs are suddenly pointing to the Los Angeles Lakers acquiring King James, although Cleveland and Philly are quietly still in the mix. But should that demand be taken at face value?
Vardon, however, reported that James' mind would not be made up by Leonard landing or not landing with the Lakers.
If the answer to that question is an actual 100% chance Leonard leaves following the 2018-19. Along with having a core of promising young players that they've built with high draft picks, the Lakers appear to be on the verge of adding at least one, if not two or three All-Stars. With Brook Lopez about to hit free agency also, the Lakers' center depth chart only has the pair of Ivica Zubac and Thomas Bryant sharing the role.
So, which team can offer the better package?

The Lakers will be appealing, particularly if they're in win-now mode, since players will be able to showcase their game on a big stage. The same goes for George, who's deciding between staying with the Oklahoma City Thunder and joining the Lakers.
There was a lot that led to the Spurs' deteriorating relationship with Kawhi Leonard over the course of last season.
The Lakers of course aren't the only team that would love to land James.
Sunday's opening of free agency only marks when teams and players can reach handshake agreements. James "didn't text" Durant, Vardon tweeted, and he also claimed that James's possible move to the Lakers "would not be sealed (or doomed) by whether or not they trade for Kawhi".
Philadelphia would offer the chance to play alongside National Basketball Association top rookie Ben Simmons of Australia as well as young star Joel Embiid while a Houston deal could see him join James Harden and Chris Paul. ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported this week that James would not be seeking out elaborate pitch meetings during the free-agency process. Because of this, many free agents will be forced to sign for less than they anticipated.
