According to ESPN, some teams interested in signing the four-time NBA champion have had the chance to pitch their project indirectly.<\/p>\n<p>Rich Paul, James\u2019 agent and CEO of Klutch Sports, has reportedly facilitated voice notes from team executives, owners or general managers to LeBron through Paul himself. Bob Myers, president of Harris Blitzer Sports &amp; Entertainment, also publicly made the case for the Philadelphia 76ers on the \u201cGame Over\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN reports that James is still absorbing information from every suitor and that there is currently no timetable for the 41-year-old veteran\u2019s decision. Paul has already made clear that money will not be the determining factor in James\u2019 choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to ESPN, several executives are
