For teams interested in signing LeBron James via free agency, they have a chance to contact him indirectly to make their pitch for the four-time NBA MVP.
James has not met with any teams in person, so the pitch will have to be made another way.

According to a report from ESPN.com, Rich Paul, James’ agent, has made it easier for executives to pitch by sending James a voice note. That note will be sent to Paul, who then will pass it on to his client.
Bob Myers, a Philadelphia 76ers executive, even appeared on the “Game Over” podcast with Paul and co-host Max Kellerman to make his plea to James.
“If you’re talking about the Sixers, if he was here, I would say, ‘I honestly believe this is your best chance to win.’ You have to decide all the other things, that are equally important, because it’s his life,” Myers said. “He has to play, he has to face the scrutiny of his decision. Half the people will say, ‘You should have done this, you should have done that.’ Criticize him, or whatever, which is his life, so he’s been through all that.”
