LeBron James was in attendance again Thursday at his basketball camp in Las Vegas, but had yet to announce a decision about where he will play next season.
James was joined at the LeBron James Skills Academy by his Heat teammate of four years, Dwyane Wade, who also is a free agent. The two were spotted chatting and watching a pickup game together.
There is no timetable for James' decision, but with him reportedly planning to attend the World Cup final Sunday in Brazil, a decision before then seems likely.
James and his agent, Rich Paul, met with Miami Heat officials for more than an hour Wednesday afternoon in Las Vegas, sources told ESPN.com.
James and Paul are done meeting with teams, according to sources close to the situation. James now will talk with his family and make his choice.

If James does choose to leave the Heat, free agent Chris Bosh will sign with the Houston Rockets, sources said. James not rushing to make a choice could put a time squeeze on Bosh. Though he hopes to remain with the Heat along with James, sources said, Bosh has secured a backup offer for four years and $88 million from the Rockets.
The Rockets' position, however, got more complicated on Wednesday when restricted free agent Chandler Parsonssigned a three-year offer from the Mavericks for more than $45 million, which Houston has three days to match.
If the Rockets match, they will lose the requisite cap space needed to sign Bosh. They can match the offer and still afford Bosh, but only if they sign Bosh first. To make room for Bosh, the Rockets will need to execute at least two trades, likely involving Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin, to clear cap space.
Houston has already struck a trade with New Orleans to dispatch Asik to the Pelicans. And ESPN.com reported earlier this week that the Philadelphia 76ers are prepared to trade for Lin and the $15 million he's owed next season as long as the Rockets attach suitably attractive assets -- such as a future first-round draft pick or more.

ESPN NBA Insider Brian Windhorst covers how LeBron James' impending choice affects the Rockets, whether James and Carmelo Anthony could team up in Miami and Dwyane Wade's future.

The Heat were represented at Wednesday's meeting with James by president Pat Riley and general manager Andy Elisburg. James was joined by Paul. This was the first known face-to-face meeting James has held since officially becoming a free agent on July 1. James' agent met or spoke with officials from the Mavericks, Rockets, Suns, Cavaliers and Lakers last week, but James was not present.
The Heat planned to talk to James about their latest free-agent commitments, forwards Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger, in addition to going over roster possibilities with him. Currently, the Heat have only four players expected to be under guaranteed contract for next season on their roster.

Stephen A is great entertainment, and is well spoker. Broussard is the best if you ask me, the guy knows his stuff when it comes to Basketball.

This is awesome....

SHOTS FIRED: LeBron Makes ESPN Look Foolish As Former SI Writer Jeff Pearlman Calls Out Chris Broussard’s B.S.

Pearlman throwing haymakers.

So glad I don't watch ESPN anymore after all the BS the past few months. I can only imagine how it has been lately.

At least you've consciously made the choice to ignore all of it. Good for you. Better that than get angry about it over and over and over again, yet continue to tune in. The only way you rid yourself of guys like this is to pretend they don't exist. There are a million and one ways to get your sports information these days, whether it's on the the Internet, TV or radio. Use them. Unless you're watching a game, ESPN is completely and utterly unnecessary.

[wikkidinsane]

No doubt bro. Nobody spokers better....

spoken. you dumb oyster

[wikkidinsane]

and ALL of the rest of the media idiots......NOT ONE CLUE about anything that's happened in the NBA. Nothing said before the fact. Only now, after the fact, have all the answers from their "insiders".

fire them all
Vegas knew

Your sentence have a lot of grammatical errors. Dont try to spell check me on the internet with your 2nd grade sarcasm.

[edawg]

This was known by a large circle in ctown for months hard to believe nobody at espn didn't know. All about ratings folks.

Wiki, you came into the thread and posted your opinion on two people that are stealing paychecks. I was actually trying to wrap my mind around "great entertainment, well spoken, the best if you ask me, the guy knows his stuff when it comes to Basketball", (while entertaining myself a bit). I don't see any of that from those two dopes. They actually seem unable at this point to do any of that and are useless.

also, figured doing a simple internet search and making a few posts would get the whining SBR homer Liberace to do his little post padding outside of his "dudes, come and interact in my thread cuz I'm a barreled in loser" thread. I'm sure he's now done getting in touch with himself that it's been some time.

It was a win win for everybody

[TwoWays]

didn't stephen a. say that the big moves will all depend on what bosh did? what a tool.

Pearlman throwing haymakers.

yup

I'm thinking somebody's 15 minutes may be up

[KiDBaZkiT]

Hey, take it easy on Stephen A. Steve Urcle had to grow up at somepoint in time.

[wikkidinsane]

didn't stephen a. say that the big moves will all depend on what bosh did? what a tool.

he said that? lol

[Bostongambler]

He says everything everyone else does IMO. He just has that chip on his shoulder attitude when he talks and people nod their head in agreement.

[OptimistPrime]

Yeah they did. Right after he was staying in Miami. Or going to Chicago. Or going to LA. Or going to Michigan St. Or going to Uganda.

You throw enough sht against the wall, something is bound to stick. Keep following the idiot insiders. They got all the answers. One of them is correct.

I may be wrong, but Broussard gave it a 90 percent chance that Lebron goes back to Clev. Not sure how you can say he was 'wrong' about it. Lebron may not have known 100 percent in-till the final few days,

Yes you are. I already posted a link to an article on Broussard's worthlessness

[hurricane1091]

Steven A Smith is so annoying. Can't even watch that idiot when he's on TV. By far the worst.
