EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z is going to be a part of the New Jersey Nets’ recruiting team during free agency, and not just when they meet with his good buddy, LeBron James.
Jay-Z will be in Akron, Ohio, on Thursday when owner Mikhail Prokhorov, coach Avery Johnson and outgoing president and general manager Rod Thorn make their initial pitch to James.
The entertainer will be overseas for concerts this weekend when the Nets talk to Dywane Wade and Chris Bosh, but expect the minority owner back when the Nets talk to Amare Stoudemire, Carlos Boozer and Rudy Gay.
Brett Yormark, president and chief executive of Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment, wouldn’t or couldn’t specifically outline the game plan for the Nets’ presentation to James.
