LeBron reportedly blowing up the phones of free agents
LeBron James is reportedly working the phones in no small way. Apparently he wants to see which upcoming free agents might join him, either in Cleveland or elsewhere.
Mark Hesler of the Orange Country Register shared a comment made by an Eastern Conference general manager, who said, “LeBron is doing what he does — calling players on other teams he wants to play with.â€

It’s widely assumed that James will decline the player option on his current contract to become a free agent. However, it’s no secret that the Cavaliers want to keep him, regardless. As well as that, it’s been rumored that James would prefer to remain in Cleveland, too.
That said, other reports, such as this one suggesting the Los Angeles Lakers are trying to team LeBron James up with Chris Paul, make it clear that Cleveland will have plenty of heated competition to keep him.
Additionally, considering how much James’ production company has ramped up efforts to become a legitimate force in the entertainment industry, Los Angeles is a logical destination for King James.
