ORLANDO — Frustrated by the repeated questions, LeBron James said he won't talk about his possible free agency next summer until after this season.

The Cleveland star and reigning NBA MVP said last night before the Cavaliers' victory over Orlando that all the talk is "getting old."

James cut off interviews after being hit with questions about free agency and teaming with Miami's Dwyane Wade, who has said the two have discussed forming a mega-tandem.

"This free agent talk is getting old. It's getting old and I think I'm going to stop. Tonight will be the last time I answer any more free agent questions until the offseason," James said.

"I think I owe it to myself, and I owe it to my teammates. It's just getting old. I'm focusing on this season, and this is going to be a really good season for us. I don't want anymore distractions for my teammates, for my organization, for my family. This will be the last time I answer a free agent question for the rest of the year."

James can opt out of his contract at the end of this season and become a free agent. He has been overloaded with questions about his plans and has continued to say that winning is most important.

REFS MADE RIGHT CALL

The NBA said the review that overturned a winning shot by Chicago's Brad Miller was correct and handled appropriately.

Referees looked at video replay for about 3 minutes before determining that Miller's shot came after the final buzzer, giving Denver a 90-89 victory Tuesday night. Though a review is supposed to be completed in a two-minute period, crew chief Mark Wunderlich then asked the truck if there were any additional angles.

He was provided with the overhead view that showed the ball was still on Miller's fingertips at the buzzer.

NBA spokesman Tim Frank said yesterday "the replay was handled by the book and the referee made the right decision," adding there was no issue with the officials taking extra time.

Nuggets coach George Karl said he appreciates having instant replay and that he had no problems with what seemed like an "8-minute wait" before the final decision.

"Losing is so painful, when you win a game and lose (it) because of a technicality, I think it's better we don't do that, we don't put that stress, that frustration on teams and on coaches and toward referees," Karl said last night before Denver faced the Milwaukee Bucks.
