Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James has a big decision to make in the next few weeks about where he wants to play next year. The heavy betting favorite to land him in NBA free agency is the Los Angeles Lakers.
One of the Lakers' rising stars, Kyle Kuzma, had some interesting comments about James coming on board next year.

“But as young players, we want to be known as those types of guys as well – the (high-profile) guys they’re trying to bring in. We want to be those guys, so you know you’re always going to have that (mixed feeling). But at the end of the day, you want to win, and having one of the greatest players of all time would definitely help that – on any team.”
It's clear that Kuzma wants James to join the Lakers, but it's interesting that he admits there would be mixed feelings.
When James joins a team he is the focal point, and it actually can stunt the growth of some players games because they have to take a bit of a back seat.
It's clear that Kuzma cares about winning first and he knows that bringing in LeBron gives the Lakers the best chance to compete with the Golden State Warriors and helping bring home another title to Los Angeles.
