LeBron James' free agency circus keeps spinning, and now teams are sliding into his ear via voice memos — yes, voice memos — as the four-time champion lets his decision stretch past the two-week mark. The Lakers are in the mix, but so is the rest of the league, apparently armed with recording apps and hope.
Speaking of LeBron, the man who's been his greatest rival just threw fuel on the fire. Steph Curry openly acknowledged the allure of a late-career pairing with James, and that single word — allure — is doing a lot of work right now. A Curry-LeBron team-up would be one of the most seismic roster moves in league history, and Steph isn't exactly shutting the door.
Shifting to the ice, the Anaheim Ducks decided they weren't letting Leo Carlsson walk. After an offer sheet came in for the young center, Anaheim matched it, locking Carlsson in at eighteen million dollars annually for the next five seasons. That's a serious commitment to a player they clearly believe is their cornerstone for years to come.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
