Le manager général des Los Angeles Lakers, Rob Pelinka, a assuré que les échanges avec LeBron James et son agent Rich Paul ont été « positifs et constants ». Il a salué leur professionnalisme tout en insistant sur le fait que la franchise respecterait pleinement le rythme et les choix de LeBron concernant la suite de sa carrière. Pelinka espère toutefois qu’une retraite sous les couleurs des Lakers reste envisageable.
00:00Yeah, so all the interactions we've had with LeBron and his camp, Rich in particular, have been positive and supportive.
00:09So, very professional and Rich has been great.
00:12The dialogue with him has been open and constant.
00:16In terms of LeBron's career, I think the number one thing we have to do there is respect he and his family's decision in terms of how long he's going to play.
00:23I think that's first and foremost, and we want to respect his ability to come up with his timetable on that.
00:31I think that's really important, but if he had a chance to retire a Laker, that would be great.
