Brian Windhorst is covering all of LeBron’s meetings and here’s what he had to say about LeBron’s reaction to the Nets and Knicks…
Here’s what I hear from yesterday: LeBron interested in Nets pitch but not so much NY. NY trying at moment to secure Amare’ to help cause
Chad Ford also said that the Nets felt ‘tremendous’ about how the meeting went, even though the meeting with the Knicks lasted about an hour longer.
The Nets were one of the darkhorse contenders coming into this free agency period, but seem to be moving up the ranks. They have a new free-spending owner, a future All-Star at center (Brook Lopez), a pretty good point guard (Devin Harris) and a valuable young prospect (Derrick Favors). Harris and Favors could be moved to acquire another big-name player to be LeBron’s running mate. The Nets are also considering moving Kris Humphries to clear space for a second max free agent.
If the move to Brooklyn was complete or was just a year away, the Nets’ chances would be even better. As it stands, the team will play in Newark for two more seasons.
