. James is back on vacation while the Lakers are building a list around him.

"For him, it's as usual," said Kobe Bryant, ex-Lakers, during an appearance Monday on ESPN .

After just over $ 1 billion in new contracts have been agreed from Saturday night and by the first official day of the free agency Sunday – with James going to the Lakers, Durant staying at Golden State, Chris Paul staying in Houston and Paul George staying in Oklahoma City, among other news – the dollar figures cooled a bit for day two.
