In a revealing, scathing look at the events leading up to the so-called Summer of LeBron, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports details the chaos that members of James' inner circle are sowing over the NBA landscape.

Wojnarowski writes that the turmoil surrounding James' impending free agency is "the most fascinating free-for-all this sport's ever witnessed" and "the biggest farce the NBA's ever endorsed and enabled."

As the Bulls and Heat continue dumping salary, each team seems to be dancing to the tune of William Wesley, a close advisor to James.  Wesley is telling people that James will leave Cleveland for Chicago and bring Chris Bosh with him.

"He's up out of there," Wesley said about Cleveland.

"We're going to Chicago and Chris Bosh is coming too," said Wesley.

The Bulls believe Wesley's statements and are preparing to bring James and Bosh into the fold.

"Bosh is attaching himself more to LeBron than LeBron is to him," said one official.

Nets' owner Mikhail Prokhorov plans to fly to Akron to meet with James as early as July 1.  Prokhorov has not yet signed a new contract with Rod Thorn, whom Wojnarowski praises for his shrewd negotiating skill.

He writes that Thorn "turned insufferable Minnesota GM David Kahn into a basket case over the Nets threatening to draft Wesley Johnson."

As for the Knicks planning a day with James in Manhattan on July 1, an executive whose team is in the hunt said that James will be home that day.  

"LeBron's taking appointments with teams in Ohio that day," the official told Wojnarowski.

In the meantime, it appears that the Cavaliers have little more than sentimentality left to keep James from bolting Cleveland.

Cavs' owner Dan Gilbert dismissed Mike Brown and Danny Ferry as he scrambles to keep Cleveland's ship afloat.

"The most unforgettable moment of the offseason," writes Wojnarowski, "had to be the Cavs' new GM, Chris Grant, standing there at his introductory news conference reading a list of scripted compliments about his owner that the organization laid out for him."

Wojnarowski believes Gilbert has contributed to an atmosphere in which James and his crew exert undue influence over NBA affairs.

"For so long, Gilbert enabled everything with LeBron ? the bigger-than-life billboards, the full-time jobs and summer league roster spots for his buddies and the endless capitulations that contributed to his obsession with creating a culture of all him, all the time in the NBA."
