LeBron James announced he wouldn’t be re-signing with the Los Angeles Lakers 13 days ago. Since then, there’s been countless rumors about who he would sign with. At this point, those are only rumors, and we’re still just as much in the dark now as we were then about where James will play next season.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, James “inches closer” to a decision every day.

This update doesn’t shed too much light on what is happening behind the scenes. Technically speaking, LeBron is closer to a decision every day. How much closer is anyone’s guess.

There’s growing speculation that James will make a decision at Fanatics Fest NYC. He is scheduled to have a live recording of his podcast, “Mind the Game,” on Thursday. He is also set to record an episode of “The Shop” there on Friday. It would make sense that a decision will have been made by then, or announced during one of those shows.

At this point, though, nothing is confirmed. Everything is mostly just speculation. People are trying to read the tea leaves and figure out what that means. The truth is, we don’t know much.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are certainly one of the teams in the mix. Head coach Kenny Atkinson admitted as much during Sunday’s Summer League game. Whether or not they’re the favorites can’t be said with 100% certainty.

The other teams rumored to still be in the running are the Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Next season will be James’s 24th in the league.
