The agent for LeBron James indicated nearly half the teams in the NBA are interested in signing the league’s all-time leading scorer and the decision won’t be about money.
Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul said he spoke with “12 to 14” teams about James after NBA free agency negotiations officially began during an episode of The Ringer’s “Game Over” podcast featuring Paul and former ESPN commentator Max Kellerman released on Wednesday, July 1. Paul also confirmed the Golden State Warriors were one of the teams to contact him regarding James, but remained non-committal about any favorites to land his 41-year-old client.

James announced on Tuesday he plans to play elsewhere next season after spending the past eight years with the Los Angeles Lakers. Paul revealed negotiations with the Lakers never reached the point where the team’s front office made a formal contract offer to James.
