Overview
- LeBron James was reported to be spending time with Draymond Green on Tuesday, a meetup that briefly revived Golden State's chance to recruit him in person.
- ESPN reporter Shams Charania and multiple outlets cite the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers as the current top three frontrunners for LeBron's signature.
- The Warriors have kept a roster spot open but view themselves as unlikely to land LeBron unless they also acquire Anthony Davis, a trade the team would need major assets to complete.
- Cleveland is seen as the sentimental and practical frontrunner but would need roster and salary moves to create the cap space required to sign LeBron.
- LeBron remains undecided with no announced timetable, and insiders say a mix of personal meetings, Rich Paul's wideboard of suitors and close confidants may shape the final decision.
