Charania Spencer Dinwiddie: "Kyrie Irving 1st Contacted Me About Free Agency in December"

Charania LeBron James is taking the Sixers free agency pitch really seriously I look at it when I talk to teams now as kind of a hierarchy of Cleveland Miami Philadelphia

Charania The only coach that LeBron James spoke to during this 3-week-long process was Sixers head coach Nick Nurse

Charania surprises Rich Paul by revealing that he knew about LeBrons private meeting with members of the Cavs ownership but chose not to report it Is it the Cavs FO group Koby Altman Brandon Weems the Gilbert family Grant Gilbert meeting with LeBron in Akron in early July

Charania Rich Paul has met with multiple teams and has given LeBron all the information needed to make a decision but there is no timeline for the coming weeks Miami Cleveland and Philadelphia seem to be the likeliest options with Golden State and Minnesota still in the mix

Charania The Philadelphia 76ers are trying to make a pitch to free agent LeBron James The Warriors Cavaliers Heat 76ers and maybe one or two other teams are in the mix for James

Charania Philadelphia was not in the picture for LeBron until after the Jaylen Brown trade and within 24 hours LeBron was taking their pitch very seriously It's currently a hierarchy of Cleveland Miami and Philadelphia and then teams on the periphery
