On Friday, Maverick Carter told Chris Broussard of ESPN that James is not planning a free-agent tour.

"LeBron is not going on a tour," Carter said. "He never planned to go on a tour and has not been a part of any team's plans for a recruiting trip."

James will meet with team executives at a neutral site that has yet to be determined but which will not be his home in Akron, Ohio.

On Thursday, The Plain Dealer reported that the Knicks had made plans for an elaborate visit with James on July 1 in Manhattan.

Broussard writes that teams were made aware of the decision from James' camp on Wednesday.

RealGM Note:  Players awaiting free agency and teams are not permitted to have contact with each other prior to July 1 under league rules.
