As LeBron James' free agency decision stretches into its second week, some teams interested in him joining them have had an opportunity to pitch the four-time champion indirectly. Sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Thursday that Rich Paul, James' agent, has been receiving voice notes from team executives to convey their pitches to the superstar.
This method allows teams to present their case without direct contact, respecting James' process. The voice notes are reportedly being forwarded to James as he weighs his options. The exact teams involved have not been disclosed, but several franchises are known to have cap space and interest.
James, who turned 40 in December 2024, is entering his 22nd NBA season. He is currently a free agent after opting out of his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. The voice note strategy highlights the unique nature of his free agency, given his stature and the involvement of his longtime agent.
