After the Los Angeles Lakers failed to secure a handful of key free agent targets, star LeBron James was candid about the situation.
Per ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, James said that missing out on free agents is “part of the business.”
“It takes two to tango,” James said. “I think our front office, our coaching staff, they tried to do the job that they wanted to do or tried to get guys to come and it didn’t happen. And that’s OK. That’s part of the business. I’ve been in this business long enough to know that sometimes it happens, sometimes it don’t.
“So we don’t sit here and lie about or cry about it. We move on and Klay’s a great player. Obviously DeMar’s a great player. Valanciunas was one of those guys who ended up going to Washington, was someone that was in talks with us, but we move on to see how we continue to get better. I’m looking forward to this fall when I get back out there.”
