While LeBron James was in the building for Saturday night\u2019s NBA Summer League game between the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans, he had no interest in talking about Lakers business.<\/p>\n
Or at least, as ESPN\u2019s Dave McMenamin noted, he didn\u2019t want to talk about anything on ESPN. During the first quarter, McMenamin noted that James was there to watch is son, Bronny, play. When McMenamin if LeBron wanted to be part of the broadcast to discuss his situation, LeBron bluntly declined, saying \u201cI ain\u2019t got nothing to talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lebron refused to join the broadcast by saying to @mcten<\/a>: \u201cI ain\u2019t got nothing to talk about\u201dpic.twitter.com\/uEg4TaNaho<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Oh No He Didn\u2019t (@ohnohedidnt24) July 13, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n That was part of a longer report where McMenamin discussed what LeBron\u2019s future with the Lakers could look like.<\/p>\n \u201cThe question on everybody\u2019s mind is, \u2018Where will LeBron be playing next season?\u2019 I tell you, I can barely walk five feet in Vegas without someone approaching me and wondering that very thing. What caused the speculation was a statement by LeBron\u2019s agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, given to ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania, when James opted into the final year of his contract with the Lakers for $53 million last month. But Paul said, \u2018LeBron intends to play on a championship contender, whatever time is left in his career, and will be closely monitoring Lakers President of Basketball Operations and General Manager, Rob Pelinka\u2019s, moves to improve the team.\u201d<\/p>\n With LeBron James at the Lakers game tonight, I asked him if he would like to speak to me about his future with the franchise. \u201cI ain\u2019t got nothing to talk about,\u201d he said.
