Rachel Nichols Flags Rob Pelinka’s Cryptic Answer on LeBron James’ Future

Nichols pointed out how Pelinka dodged a direct question about LeBron’s future with the Lakers. Asked if L.A. wanted him past this season, Pelinka only said, “We would love it if the story is that LeBron retires as a Laker.” Nichols noted the non-commitment was unusual for any LeBron-led team. James is playing this season on an expiring contract.
