Just makes us want to know all the more, doesn’t it? (Maybe that’s why.)
When LeBron was asked about that meeting afterward, he went ahead and tried to demolish the internet. First, this response to TNT’s Kristen Ledlow:
“I didn’t tell him anything. (Smiles.) I didn’t tell him anything, it’s not for everybody. There’s enough noise out there already with ‘Zo and it’s not for me to discuss.”
Then, this to reporters in the locker roon:
That’s usually a benign bit of praise, unless . . .

Unless you’re convinced Bron has already decided to join Lonzo and the rest of the Lakers’ young core in LA in July and was starting to make plans with that chat.
If you believe that, then the report saying a James offseason move to the Lakers is a “long shot” was flat wrong. Or, maybe . . .
You know that report was just a smokescreen, because there’s NO way James hasn’t already made up his mind about next season . . . right? Because all his previous comments about Ball and LA weren’t, as he said Thursday, just his way of responding to a kid who patterned his game after him.
And he’s leaving for LA because the Cavs are trash and going nowhere and . . . oh, wait, they’re 21-8 after their win Thursday and second in the East.
Oh, the mind games, the conspiracy theories, they never stop, even though no one — no one — knows what’s going to happen. Not even LeBron. Probably. Or at least he’s not telling. Probably.
