NORTH OAKS EXECUTIVES ZERO IN ON NBA STAR
MADISONVILLE, Louisiana — The Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Clippers, and North Oaks Medical Center have emerged as top contenders to sign NBA megastar and potential free agent LeBron James this summer.
Executives at North Oaks have revealed that they are prepared to offer the Cleveland Cavalier a $100-million annual salary, which would be completely funded by Tangipahoa Parish tax dollars.
James’ agent refused to confirm whether his client would fly to Mandeville this weekend for contract negotiations with North Oaks management.
“Signing LeBron would boost tourism, which means big tax revenue for St. Tammany, Washington, St. Helena, Livingston, and East Baton Rouge parishes,” North Oaks CEO James Cathey told HAN.
The 25-year-old basketball star wrote on his blog Saturday morning that he is keen to move to a publicly-owned club that has “an unlimited amount of wealth,” leading sports fans and analysts to believe that a deal with North Oaks has already been made.
