Rich Paul met with the Los Angeles Lakers’ front office Tuesday and had a positive, clear-the-air type of session to get the sides back in sync in the aftermath of LeBron James’ public comments.
James openly praised Sam Presti, which was taken by some as passive aggressive criticism of Rob Pelinka.
Asked about the meeting, James said, “I think it’s important that it always stays transparent between us and we don’t really care about the outside noise. I mean, I think a lot of people are, to be honest, just jealous of the relationship that Rich has with the front office and with this team and with the relationship that I have, that I’ve grown over the last four years. I mean, that’s what I think it boils down to.”
James can sign a contract extension with the Lakers this offseason.
