LeBron James has yet to meet with the Los Angeles Lakers to discuss his future as NBA free agency looms. The team reportedly tried to arrange a meeting, but James was unavailable, reportedly playing golf.

With free agency starting in one day, the Lakers are in limbo regarding their superstar. James has not clarified whether he will re-sign with Los Angeles or explore other options for the next stage of his career. Discussions could have begun immediately after the NBA Finals, but according to Shams Charania, the two sides have not been in contact since.

ESPN analyst Brian Windhorst confirmed the Lakers' attempt to schedule a meeting, which was unsuccessful. "The Lakers are interested in meeting with LeBron, but it hasn't been possible to make it happen... From what I've been told, LeBron wasn't available for the meeting. Yesterday, as far as I know, he was playing golf in Akron, Ohio," Windhorst stated.

Meanwhile, reports suggest the Golden State Warriors are considering a move for James. Draymond Green has reportedly opted out of his $27.7 million contract option to create salary cap space for potential big moves, including James and Anthony Davis.
