Woj: LeBron James called Klay Thompson right when free agency opened

The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to make a big splash or two this offseason in order to become a championship-caliber team again. While they have limited resources available to them, both in terms of trade assets and salary cap wiggle room, LeBron James may be willing to help a bit.

James, who opted out of his contract on Saturday, is reportedly willing to take a pay cut in order to stay with the Lakers if they land a difference-making free agent. One such free agent who would get James to take less money on a new deal is Klay Thompson.

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that James called Thompson right when free agency officially opened.

It looks all but certain Thompson will not stay with the Golden State Warriors, the team he helped win four NBA championships, on a new deal. Reportedly, the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers are two other teams that could snag the 34-year-old sharpshooter.
