LeBron James hopes to meet with Adam Silver as he assumes duties as NBA commissioner.

"Hopefully I can sit down with the commish and just throw out some ideas where I hope the league can be better," James said. "Hopefully he has some ideas for me."

Silver will take over for David Stern on Wednesday.

"It's not a major change but the game can always be bigger," James said. "There's a lot of people who love the game who can't watch the game so hopefully we can (expand it)."

James said he's gotten to know Silver a little bit in recent years.

"The opportunities I've had to be around him as he's been the assistant commish, he's been easy to talk to," James said. "He understands the business and someone who understands what the game means to everyone -- the whole pie. Best of luck to him, hopefully he can get 30 years in, too."
