The Chicago Bulls are in advanced discussions on a max contract extension with forward LeBron James, according to sources close to the process.
The Bulls hope to hear back from James by tomorrows deadline, but sources told ESPN.com this week that negotiations on a new deal for Chicago's cornerstone have been positive. The source indicated that James may choose to test the FA market, but knows that he will likely ink a new 5 year deal with the team. His lack of college recruiting is in large part the reason making the FA rounds intrigues him.
