The Philadelphia 76ers won't meet with LeBron James himself, but will meet with his representatives on Sunday, as the franchise tries to lure the forward to the City of Brotherly Love.
We learned this as we learn almost all NBA news, by way of a #WojBomb.
For today's meeting, Sixers will meet with LeBron James' reps, sources tell ESPN. James will not attend this meeting. https://t.co/KJGS0xp5Yy

Oddly enough, a few moments before Woj took to the mean streets to relay the information to all the folks, Fox Sports personality Nick Wright sent out a tweet that said LeBron James already made his mind up (and the deal would be announced Tuesday morning).

Wright, who isn't known as a reporter in the same regard as a Woj or anything, usually doesn't go to Twitter to tweet information like this unless he seems confident in the news he has gathered. Time will obviously tell if he's correct.
Anyway, the Sixers are likely thrilled to have landed a meeting with James' people. Sure, it isn't as good as meeting with LeBron himself, but James has made it pretty clear that he doesn't want to be wooed by front-offices going crazy in a meeting with him. Instead, he appears to trust his reps enough to handle all of this stuff for him, likely relaying information back to the King.
