Cavs, Bulls make pitch to LeBron
Basketball Betting Lines
07/03/2010 -
Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The courting is over and now it's decision
time for LeBron James to choose his next team for the 2010-11 season and
beyond.
The reigning two-time MVP met with his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers and the
Chicago Bulls on Saturday, wrapping up three days of presentations from a
total of six organizations.
"We had a very good meeting with LeBron and his group," Cavaliers general
manager Chris Grant said. "We had a good time. It was fun. It was very
interactive. I would characterize it as positive. We think it's pretty
incredible that LeBron chose to have these meetings here in Cleveland, at his
home."
Throngs of Cavaliers fans lined the street for James as he arrived for the
meeting, many of the people held up signs that said "Home" and threw powder in
the air to signify James' pre-game antics with the Cavs.
The Cavaliers, under the guidance of new head coach Byron Scott, met with
James for nearly two hours. The Bulls, also with a new head man in Tom
Thibodeau, brought in owner Jerry Reinsdorf, general manager Gar Forman, and
vice president of basketball operations John Paxson to meet with the
superstar.
On Thursday, LeBron met with the Nets and Knicks, and Friday came sit-downs
with the Heat and Clippers.
It has been reported that James would like to make his decision by Monday, and
speculation is that his decision will trigger a domino effect on much of
the remaining star-studded free agent class.
One of those premier free agents is Dwyane Wade, who has already met with the
Bulls twice as they try to pry him away from re-signing with the Miami Heat.
The Knicks are courting forward Amare Stoudemire, who flew into New York
Saturday. A report on Yahoo! Sports said the Knicks were making progress on a
five-year, $100 million contract for Stoudemire.
Forward Chris Bosh is also apparently done with his meetings, as he posted a
message on Twitter saying, "finally back in my environment. free agency has
been a whirlwind. This decision is not going to be easy." Miami and Chicago
are among two teams who are interested in signing the five-time All-Star.
