From The Bleacher Report...
Lost in the hoopla surrounding speculation over the possibility that LeBron James might ditch the Miami Heat for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2014—a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma—was this tidbit from the "report" filed by ESPN's Brian Windhorst on Thursday:
Meanwhile, keep an eye on Chris Paul, LeBron's best friend in the NBA. James has wanted to team up with CP3 for seven years or more. In 2005, when Paul was about to be drafted, James asked the Cavs to attempt to move up to get Paul, but the Cavs did not have the assets to pull off such a trade.LeBron, it seems, is buddy-buddy with CP3, perhaps even more so than he was with Dwyane Wade (and, to a lesser extent, Chris Bosh) prior to the summer of 2010. James has never played with a great point guard before, though that may have as much to do with how his teams have viewed his abilities as a floor general more than anything else
Paul and James have only grown closer since, playing together on Team USA four times since 2006 and winning gold medals in 2008 and last summer. Paul will be a free agent in 2013, and his situation could influence James' plans a year later.
