Day 7 of NBA Free Agency and no word from LeBron.…. but that isn’t stopping Betty White from trying to coax the most coveted free agent in NBA history to stay in Cleveland. Betty White has a new show Hot in Cleveland and addresses the LeBron James free agency rumors.

For Cleveland’s sake, hopefully Betty White was as convincing as she was with the SNL people!

LeBron Watch

And so it begins… after months of anticipation the NBA free agency began at 12:01am. LeBron James became the most coveted free agent in NBA history, and teams traveled to Cleveland to meet with him. Today, James met with the New Jersey Nets and New York Knicks. Other teams scheduled to meet with James: the Chicago Bulls, LA Clippers, and current team Cleveland Cavilers to discuss his future. But don’t expect a decision to come anytime soon, no contracts can be signed until July 8 when the NBA will announce new salary-cap figures.

While everyone came out to woo LeBron… even Jay-Z was on hand for the Knicks, the city of Cleveland continued their campaign to keep their superstar. 20,000 signs were passed out that read: “Home” at a Cleveland Independence Day parade. Fans even camped out outside of James’ home.

Other free agent Dwyane Wade, who allegedly organized the “summit” in Miami, met with the Bulls in his hometown Chicago. Chris Bosh, who many are saying will go wherever LeBron goes, met with the Houston Rockets but is not expected to sign.

The Cavilers are also shopping Delonte West… I wonder why?!?

LeBron Watch: Free Agent Summit?

Yesterday, ESPN reported a free agent summit was held in Miami involving LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh. Wade attempted to lure over the highly coveted free agents Bosh and James. However, today the Miami Herald said the summit never happened.Reps for both Wade and Bosh are denying the summit, but others report the trio are trying to keep their meeting under wraps since the free agent market does not open until July 1. Should be interesting as to what was more convincing to win in the LeBron sweepstakes… the Miami Summit or the LeBron Flash Mob?
