THE Cleveland Cavaliers finally had their chance to meet with free agent LeBron James and make their pitch to retain the services of the NBA's reigning MVP.
After two days of waiting as James met with the New York Knicks, New Jersey Nets, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers, the Cavaliers spent 90 minutes with him at their Cleveland office.
The Cavs were represented by newly hired coach Byron Scott, general manager Chris Grant, assistant general manager Lance Blanks and owner Dan Gilbert.
"We had a very good meeting with LeBron and his group," Grant told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "It went well, it was fun. It was very interactive. Obviously we know LeBron well. I would characterise it as positive."
James then met with the Chicago Bulls' top brass, the final stop in his free agency tour, where he was wooed with a presentation that lasted less than three hours.
The Bulls have also held talks with Dwyane Wade, another stand-out in this year's class of free agents, twice in three days.
Wade had previously met with the New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets, and was scheduled to meet with the Miami Heat yesterday in Chicago.
"At the end of the day, your decision goes on what's best for you and your family," Wade told NBC in Chicago.
"I think that the organisations I've been brought in to meet with are all good organisations. And all can add something to my life, and not just basketball-wise."
