LA's "Recruitment" of LeBron Has Begun

In case you haven't heard, LeBron James is a free agent this July...

"Recruitment" efforts have already begun to try and sway him away from Cleveland:

Looks like @jacobemrani1 is making a serious push to get @kingjames on the #Lakers. I’m not a fan of billboard campaigns to get players to sign (remember the Stay Dwight fiasco?) but I’m happy to see a fan put their own money into showing their fandom. #LABron #LeBronToLA #L… pic.twitter.com/n08h6CvDX6

#LABron -- sorta clever, I guess?

Paid for by a fan, the ad serves multiple purposes: recruiting LeBron & taking a shot a Joel Embiid & his subtle, i'm-not-realllly-tampering efforts on social media. 

Though a lottery team, the Lakers are an attractive, rumored destination for LeBron this summer. They feature desirable combination of nice young talent & cap space to make things interesting - is the clock ticking in Cleveland?
