IMHO, there is no way that James' 'decision' was not made before his final season began in CLE. In fact, I believe it was probably made when the Space Jam 2 project was greenlighted (a huge project in which James is not only star but Executive Producer).
CLE getting Kemba or some other 'all star' was not going to do it; Gilbert did the right thing looking out for the future of his franchise and keeping the draft pick.
BTW, it also my belief that the true reason Irving pulled the shit he did was James let him know he was definitely gone. JMHO.
If you would like some perspective on why James would prefer to be in LA, is a link to a list of James' and Carter's entertainment projects currently in production:
