LeBron James Only Considering A 'Handful' Of Teams, Not In Any Rush To Make Decision
LeBron James is only considering signing with a handful of teams, including the Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, and Minnesota Timberwolves, according to Chris Haynes. Haynes added that James has no plans to take pitch meetings with those teams and will let agent Rich Paul handle that part of the negotiations. Rich Paul is doing all the background work. He's talking with teams, and then he in return will relay all the intel and data to LeBron James, in which LeBron will make a decision. So there will be no meetings, no pitches that will allow teams to sit down with LeBron, said Haynes. Haynes then reiterated that James is in no rush to make a decision. It was reported over the weekend that there was a growing belief that James would eventually return to the Cavs.

LeBron James Undecided On Whether This Will Be His Final NBA Season
LeBron James made the decision to continue playing meaningful, competitive basketball next season, but has yet to decide if it will be his final NBA season.
