Joe, I'm told that LeBron James is not in an immediate rush. He's in Ohio right now spending family time, but also him, his agent Rich Paul, they're in fact finding information gathering stages right now. So you absorbed the info and I do expect over the coming days, LeBron James, Rich Paul will take the next step in their conversations with teams. From the outside of this process, once LeBron James informed the Lakers six hours before free agency earlier this week that he would not be staying with the Lakers, that he would be moving on, he would allow the Lakers to move on. It was very clear around the league which teams could be logical fits. You think about the Cavaliers, the Warriors, the Miami Heat, then the Sixers go out and get Jalen Brown. They get on the map, and Rich Paul said on his Game Over podcast this morning that this decision will be about competitive basketball. It's not just going to be about one made in July. So we see all those lists of teams. So a couple that have not been mentioned, Minnesota and Denver, that they're going to be looking into. So you absorb all the information. You see what the team looks like right now, what it could look like during the dog days of the season in January, in a December. You think about the culture, the environment. So you look at all these rosters that Rich Paul describes and the starting fives that LeBron James could be a part of, whether it's in Cleveland, whether it's in Golden State, whether it's in Philadelphia, whether it's in Minnesota, whether it's in Denver. So right now, LeBron James, Rich Paul, they're in fact-finding mode, and over the coming days, taking the next step in conversations.
