LOS ANGELES — LeBron James faded baseline and floated a jumper through the basket on the first possession of Friday’s Lakers-Clippers meeting, the final stretch of the season finally able to begin with a cheer instead of those deafening grumblings since they played last week before the All-Star break.
What did James mean when he sent that tweet about Les Snead? Was he mad about the Lakers not making a trade at the NBA deadline? Is that why he was so quick to praise Oklahoma City GM Sam Presti? Was that a shot at Lakers GM Rob Pelinka?
And why did he open the door to go back to Cleveland? Or to leave Los Angeles for whatever team ends up with his son, Bronny?
