NBA Summer League + NBA Teams Sending Recruiting Voice Notes To LeBron James Via Rich Paul

from The Best of the Sports Shop

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss LeBron James' agent Rich Paul receiving voice notes from NBA teams interested in James and NBA Summer League action from last night and preview tonight's action. Last night, there were 7 games on what was an entertaining opening night of NBA Summer League action in Las Vegas. No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa and the Washington Wizards edged No. 2 pick Darryn Peterson and the Utah Jazz, 92-88. Dybantsa finished with 27 points and seven rebounds in his professional debut, while Peterson finished with 24 points despite facing constant double teams and committing eight turnovers. The Warriors knocked off the Mavericks 101-90. Despite the loss, Mavericks rookie Morez Johnson Jr. turned heads with an impressive 27-point, eight-rebound performance. Tonight, we have Bulls vs. Grizzlies featuring top rookies Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson. Will you be watching? LeBron James, at age 41, is the most coveted free agent in the NBA. Teams interested in acquiring James are reportedly sending personalized voice messages to his agent, Rich Paul, in an effort to recruit the four-time NBA champion. With LeBron avoiding formal free-agent meetings, executives, coaches and even team owners are making their pitches through Paul, who then relays the messages to James as the league waits for the biggest decision of the offseason.
