Report: LeBron doesn't want flashy free-agency pitches

Those grand free-agent pitches from potential suitors are so 2010.

LeBron James has no intention of sitting in on elaborate pitch meetings from teams in the coming weeks, sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.

The first time James hit unrestricted free agency in 2010, six teams made major presentations to the superstar before he announced he was joining the Miami Heat on a much-maligned TV special. Four years later, his agents, Rich Paul and Mark Termini, took meetings with some teams while James himself only met with the Heat and Cavaliers.

It's expected that in addition to the Cavs, the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers, Houston Rockets, and San Antonio Spurs will make official contact with James when free agency begins July 1. He must first opt out of the final year of his contract, which he's expected to do by the Friday deadline.
