While the NBA Playoffs continue, all the talk around the league continues to revolve around Lebron James, where he will end up next season, and whether the Chicago Bulls are prepared to bring in Kentucky coach John Calipari as part of any deal.

Lebron James ranks among the most trending topics at Gambling911.com as monitored by the site's Facebook page.

Sportsbook.com continues to hold its odds on Lebron James going to Chicago at +150 for a payout potential of $15 for every $10 bet.

The Chicago Tribune reported Monday basketball power broker William Wesley -- a friend of both James and Calipari - was quietly in discussions with various teams about the possibility of bringing in James and Calipari together.  Chicago Bulls sources tell ESPN.com there has been no such discussion with their organization however.

One source told ESPN.com that "bringing Calipari along to get James would lessen Calipari's status in the locker room, because of the perception that he was James' handpicked coach".

Calipari has publicly stated that he is coaching at Kentucky next season.

NBA teams cannot formally contact free agents until the league signing period starts at 12:01 a.m. ET on July 1.
