In 2010, LeBron James' contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers is up and the entire NBA is salivating at the idea of getting King James on their squad. Although LeBron has let it be known that he ain't going anywhere and wants to spend his career as a Cavalier, rumors have definitely been circulating that he could bounce to the Nets because of his good friendship with Jay-Z who owns a stake in the team.

In an interview, Jay-Z made it known that the Nets want King James. When asked about the possibility of him someday joining the franchise, the Nets’ part-owner paid no mind to league tampering rules and then dropped this illegal bomb,

"How amazing would that be? LeBron James is one of the NBA's best players - everybody would love to have him on their team," Jigga Man told the YES Network according to LarryBrownSports.com. "I have a personal relationship with him but that's where it stops. His professional career is that, a business decision. If we put forth the best proposal then we would love to have him as any other team would... I tell people all the time, he’s my friend first. If Cleveland is building a championship team around him then my advice is to stay there. If it’s the Nets who are building a championship team that could be around him then my advice is to come to the Nets.”

Time will tell if becoming the "King of New York" is as big a deal for Lebron James as it has been for Jay-Z and other New York rappers.
