Recently, ESPN famous reporter Dave McMenamin talked about James' future on the show.
He said: "Ritch Paul told me a situation - he clearly said to me, 'We didn't ask for a contract renewal with the Lakers, so the two sides didn't discuss the contract renewal at all. So, this is not a tense point between us and the Lakers.'"
"As for Ritch Paul's statement, it sounds like: OK, Pelinka, you have to make this team better, otherwise... because I asked him what the subtext of his statement was. He replied that there was no subtext, literally that - LeBron just wanted to play on a team that won, and we wanted to see the team show a championship level. That's it."
