LeBron, 33, declined a $35.6 million option to remain with the Cleveland Cavaliers prior to the deadline on Friday. His decision to go to LA comes after the news that Paul George, who many expected to also join the Lakers, is actually re-signing with Oklahoma City.
Los Angeles is still pursuing superstar Kawhi Leonard, who has informed San Antonio that he would prefer to be traded there:
