NEW YORK — LeBron James was alone in the Lakers’ locker room pregame Saturday night, rapping along to every word of the New York-themed rap playlist. There was nothing ambiguous about it — James was going to try and put on a show. But before the 113-105 win, James had a chance to settle some other things — like his cryptic social media post and his long-term plans with the Lakers. He gave no indication about his future with the Lakers beyond this season, when he’s got a player option. Saturday’s game was the first for the Lakers since likely losing Jarred Vanderbilt for the season after his injury in Boston.
