The Nets were the first team to meet with LeBron James on Thursday and they came away feeling very confident about their chances of signing the two-time MVP.

A source close to the Nets said their meeting with LeBron was "tremendous."

When asked by ESPN.com's Chad Ford what tremendous meant, the source said: "Front runner tremendous."

New Jersey's presentation was led by owner Mikhail Prokhorov and part owner Jay-Z.
