On free agency, LeBron says it's not a priority right now


Posted Nov 8 2009 7:23PM

NEW YORK (AP) -- LeBron James thinks his present is too good to spend time worrying about his future.

James says he has no timetable for deciding what he will do next summer. The NBA's MVP says it will be his first time getting to be an unrestricted free agent, so he's not going to rush any decision.

The Cleveland All-Star can opt for free agency on July 1, but said Friday before playing the Knicks he isn't concerned with that now because he believes the Cavaliers have a chance to contend for the championship this season.

The Knicks are one of the teams who will have money to make him an offer. James enjoys playing in New York and says he is disappointed the Cavs only visit once this season.
