While it’s not a huge shocker – LeBron’s obviously looking to capitalize on the open market for his services – it also confirms that we’ll have to put up with the nonstop coverage of his courtship until he makes another “decision.”
James joins Carmelo Anthony on the list of available UFAs this summer so if your favorite team has quite a bit of money available to spend, this offseason just got a whole lot more exciting. For the rest of you, I might recommend avoiding ESPN for the next month or so.
