Jay-Z’s long-running friendship with LeBron James is well documented. They’ve hosted several events together. The two appeared on the cover of XXL together years ago. And James even has his own Roc-A-Fella chain. Now, sports aficionados are speculating that Jay might be planting a seed, which he hopes to reap in the next couple of years.

From Yahoo!’s Sports Column:

What’s unnerving to Cleveland is that Jay-Z happens to be a part owner of the New Jersey Nets with unlimited access to James’ heart, mind and ambitions. Of course, the Nets are plotting a move to a sparkling new arena in Brooklyn, perhaps as soon as the 2011-2012 season. They’re clearing cap space and planning a pursuit of James when he can opt out of his contract in the summer of 2010.

Should the Cavs be worried about Jay-Z’s relationship with LeBron?

    They should be worried about anyone making a good offer when 2010 comes around, they can make a good offer themselves too.
    Being a personal friend of one of the owners might be an extra push to join that team but I don’t think it’s a primary reason.

    very interesting piece… esp given that lebron has a deep love for NY; there’s even a recent colorway of his new shoes in ny yankees colors.

    i wouldn’t be surprised, although without kidd or a strong PG, he would basically be moving to another almost-ran.

    That’s pretty mcuh a no-brainer. The Cavs should be worried. They might have to make this kid the highest paid player in NBA to keep him. Otherwise, he’s throwing up the ROC in 2010.

    Don’t think its going to necessarily happen. But of course whomever gives up more dough is certainly going to see Bron’s playing time. I’m sure the Cavs know what to do and will do it quickly and effectively.

    The Nets will more than likely look diff in the next 3 years. I’m sure now that Kidds been unloaded they’ll soon get rid off the vets and begin rebuilding. I dunno if Bron’ would def want to go through that again with another team though.

    I heard a terrible Lebron story from a friend who works at NBA, and was attending the All-Star festivities. At the party Lebron and Jay-Z co-sponsored, an autograph seeker approached LBJ for a signature. James said ‘All right. Hold on.’ took two steps away, lifted his leg and farted in dude’s face. True story.
