It's been 23 days and counting. And the NBA is still for LeBron James to make his decision.
His agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, has put out messages to teams suggesting they not wait for James and that they should fill their remaining roster spots.
Those messages came after NBA Commissioner Adam Silver expressed his desire for James to decide so schedule makers can determine the 2026-27 regular season, including important dates such as opening night and Christmas Day.
The idea is that James would be playing on those days, hence Silver's desire to know which team he'll choose. But James won't be rushed, according to Paul.
It likely comes down to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers as the top three candidates to land James. However, the Golden State Warriors are not to be counted out yet.
