No, LeBron James has not yet decided where he'll play basketball next season. That being said, fans are losing their minds over every little thing he posts on social media.
Earlier this week, Chris Brockman of "The Rich Eisen Show" declared that James will not be a huge factor for any team next season. He also said the Miami Heat would be in the play-in tournament if they add James to their core of Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
"LeBron is gonna be a non-factor this season. Everyone needs to, like, ready themselves for that… He's living in the past," Brockman said. "Has LeBron been a factor in the playoffs in the last few seasons? If he goes to Miami, enjoy the play-in tournament."

James shared that take from Brockman on his Instagram Story along with a few laughing emojis. Although he was most likely responding to the "non-factor" claim, Heat fans are convinced that he's teasing a return to Miami.
"Love it," one fan said. "Going to be glorious when LeBron joins the Heat and we win the title."
"Probably laughing at the 'non factor this season' part, but it fits the agenda so… HE’S COMING HOME," another fan wrote.
"Bron coming to Miami, he knows why he post that," a Heat fan commented.
Who's in the LeBron sweepstakes?
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the race for James appears to be down to Cleveland, Miami, and Philadelphia. The Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves were mentioned as suitors earlier this month, but they've lost their momentum.
"He's made it clear he wants to be a part of a team where he has a chance to compete for a championship, a new team environment, and a culture he can be a part of," Charania said.
There's been so much smoke surrounding James and the Cavaliers over the past two weeks, but the Heat can't be ignored as a threat to sign the future Hall of Famer.
