Lakers executive talks about James: It s silly to think that player options can give players all power

Recently, a Lakers management executive was interviewed by Spotac reporter Keith Smith and talked about James's execution player options.

He said: "When you sign a contract with a player with a player option, you are actually giving them control of the situation at the beginning. But the idea of thinking that a player option gives players all the power is actually silly. If they choose to jump out of the contract, the team still has the same say in whether to re-sign with them. If they choose to execute the contract, then the team also has the same say in whatever happens next. For LeBron, he has the player option and decides to execute the contract. We are glad he is still a Lakers player."
