LeBron is meeting his free agency suitors at the IMG offices in Cleveland today.

So picture this — LeBron, Jay-Z, and one of the richest freakin’ men in the world all at one table.  Might be the first time in a long time LeBron is the poorest guy in the room … for now.

Mogul Jay-Z, the Nets billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov, and coach Avery Johnson all made a presentation and pitch to LeBron James to woo the basketball sensation to the New Jersey Nets.

The trio, along with several other team officials, made a 90-minute pitch to the two-time NBA MVP. James officially became a free agent at 12:01 today.

The Associated Press offered a detailed account of the meeting, but reports have sprouted in various media outlets.

“Prokhorov left with a few members of the Nets’ entourage at 12:43 p.m. Lagging a few minutes behind them was Jay-Z, a close friend of James, who was sitting in the back seat of a black sedan leaving the garage as the Knicks’ motorcade – 2 sedans and 2 SUVs – pulled in,” the AP wrote.

Sources with AllHipHop.com revealed that Jay-Z may have had a private, albeit brief, meeting with James. Avery Johnson reportedly stated the meeting “went well.”

The sentiment echoed the New York Knicks views of their meeting right after the Nets.

“I think it went well,” New York coach Mike D’Antoni told The Associated Press. “But obviously everyone that gets the chance to talk to him will probably say same the same thing.”

James is expected to meet with the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Clippers tomorrow.

Looks like Jay-Z isn’t playin’. On Thursday, Jay-Z and Nets majority owner Mikhail Prokhorov plan on visting Akron, Ohio to recruit free agent LeBron James. By tomorrow though, Jay and his Russian homie will appear in this 225 x 95 foot mural created near the Knicks’ Madison Square Garden home. The new dynasty?

Check out the apartment that LeBron James was rumored to be touring the other day. It’s in the Time Warner Center (same building that JAY-Z has a Penthouse in) and it’s beautiful: hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, marble-covered bathroom, and an amazing view.

Apparently, the folks over at New York Magazine actually suggested that LeBron check it out, and he is said to have taken their advice. According to The Huffington Post, one of the brokers over at Prudential Douglas Elliman, Sherri Shang, was heard saying that she gave James a tour of the apartment.

It’s available for rent at $45,000 a month, or for purchase at $14.95 million.
