LeBron James has once again become the center of the NBA offseason, and according to a new report, the reason behind his prolonged free agency decision is exactly the kind of move that has defined his career. According to Bleacher Report, James is “slow-playing” his free agency while waiting to see if any interested teams can first acquire either Anthony Davis or Kyrie Irving before he makes his decision.
If true, it’s another reminder that few superstars have exercised more influence over roster construction than LeBron.

Most free agents evaluate the roster that’s already in place before deciding where to sign. LeBron, reportedly, is waiting to see if teams can reshape their roster first.
