During his discussion of LeBron's situation and how much weight he is or isn't throwing around with regards to the coaching search, Paul referred to LeBron as a 'free agent.' Is it a slip of the tongue? Probably. But the only way LeBron becomes a free agent is if he opts out of his contract.
That could also be why Paul might have let it slip what their plan was. Getting a no-trade clause might be a newly-desired clause after the unexpected approach by the Warriors during the season.
