While the Lakers felt good about LeBron re-signing in the middle of the season, his cryptic response at the end of Game 5 can't be the most comforting feeling.
"A month later, James’ cordial courtside visit with Buss and her longtime Lakers partner Linda Rambis was as good a sign as any that all was well in their relationship," Charania said in his article."But James has made a habit of keeping his options open for most of his storied career, and this time around will be no different."
