USA Today's Sam Amick is reporting that the Rockets will continue pursuing LeBron James until he makes a final decision.
Houston has no meeting set up, and they are well aware that it's an extreme longshot due to the cap ramifications that make a sign-and-trade very difficult. However, per Amick, "they have not waved the white flag on that front."

The Nuggets will turn their attention to LeBron James, according to Chris Mannix of Yahoo! Sports.
As crazy as this sounds, Mannix was the reporter to break the Will Barton news this evening. He adds that the Nuggets have been aggressive in pursuing a meeting with the NBA's best free agent. It's a total long shot, but maybe LeBron hears what they have to say. It would also have to be a sign-and-trade or something along those lines.

When free agency starts at 12:01 on Sunday, the Cavaliers will not meet in person with LeBron James or his representatives, according to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com.
The report adds that James' camp and the Cavs' front office has been in regular dialogue since the season ended. LeBron reportedly went to the Caribbean this weekend to make a decision, and he reportedly hopes to announce his next move soon. For what it's worth, LeBron's agent, Rich Paul, is expected to have phone conversations with some of his clients like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Nerlens Noel.

LeBron James has declined his $35.6 million player option for the 2018-19 season and will enter free agency, according to Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports.
This was expected, but it's important as it impacts the number of teams that can make a realistic run at LeBron this summer. Now that James has opted out of his current contract, it becomes far more difficult for teams over the cap, such as the Houston Rockets, to facilitate a sign-and-trade. At this point, the odds-on favorites to sign LeBron are likely the teams with the requisite cap space to offer a max contract, such as the Lakers and Sixers. Of course, Cleveland can exceed the cap to re-sign their own player, and can offer far more than any other club. Multiple reports have indicated LeBron plans to make his decision by early next week.
