Once again, LeBron James finds himself surrounded by NBA free agency rumors.
Earlier this week, a report surfaced on ESPN that LeBron would be open to a meeting with the Golden State Warriors.
But while that may sound appealing and exciting to Warriors fans, it seems there isn’t much truth to the report. At least that’s what LeBron is telling reporters on Friday.
“The first thing I did was start laughing, actually,” James said. “It’s nonsense. It’s a non-story. I think it’s a discredit to what I’m trying to do here.
“I’m here, I’m right here, I’m right now and this is my present and this is where I’m at. If you don’t hear something come from my voice, then it’s not true. I don’t give a damn how close they are. I don’t care if it’s my wife or my kids. If it’s not from me, it’s not true.”
LeBron’s reaction to the report linking him to the Warriors? “Nonsense”

Sorry, Warriors fans.
James said that he will not be taking any further questions about free agency until after the season.
