LeBron James was asked what the Los Angeles Lakers' message to pending free agents will be this offseason.

"I don't know," said James.

"Listen, at the end of the day this franchise wants to win and wants to win big, and the one thing about the franchise, they cater to the players, and that's it," said James. "Everything else comes secondary, they only want us to go out and perform at a high level and play the game at a high level so we can be mentioned with some of the great teams that's in the league at that point in time. ...

"There's a lot of great free agents this summer. Not going to name any names because every time I say something, or our organization says something about a specific person we get in trouble, but we have an opportunity to get better, and that's something that is definitely great to know that, when you have an opportunity to get better from a personnel standpoint."
