Report: If LeBron's friends get jobs with the Heat, the NBA may investigate

In Cleveland, LeBron's posse had the run of the place. They were VIPs in the arena and in the city. Some of his friends even got jobs within the Cleveland organization.

It is rumored that one of the things that really hurt Chicago in talks with LeBron James was a clear line in the sand from Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf on just that -- if we didn't give Michael Jordan's friends all jobs, we're not doing it for you. It may or may not have been a big deal with James himself, but you can bet the friends that have his ear talked to him about it.

In Miami, Wade met with members of LeBron's inner circle a couple of times, according to a long report on the inner workings of LeBron's decision by Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo.

If jobs were promised to LeBron's friends, the NBA may investigate, he reports.

"The bigger issue is salary-cap circumvention," one top NBA front-office executive told Yahoo!. "You can't promise jobs or preferential services outside of a contract or a job for a friend. If that's part of the deal, it's a violation."
