Yesterday (and everyone between it and this past July 1), as it turns out, was not the day LeBron James announced his "Decision 4.0."
And with each passing hour, it becomes clearer that there's really no one (including, possibly, LeBron) has any idea where he'll go.
The odds on his next team have bounced all over the place on prediction markets, and the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers and maybe even Minnesota Timberwolves are all still in play.
We'll get plenty more rumors, clues, and if we're lucky, reports today, and Bleacher Report is here to react to all the biggest ones below.

ESPN's Brian Windhorst is as well connected as any reporter covering the NBA, and he's sharing the same line we're seeing everywhere else.
Despite clues popping up seemingly every day, it doesn't seem like we're much closer to knowing where LeBron will play than we were a couple weeks ago.
Now, it's a lack of information that we're getting reports on.
We've heard and read so many different rumors on LeBron over the last three weeks. At this point, there's really no way to know what's true.
One of the big ones this week was that LeBron had, at some point, made up his mind, changed it and restarted his entire process.
Well, according to longtime reporter Joe Vardon, there may not have been any truth to that.
And there's a reason to phrase all of this with words like "may," "might," "reportedly," etc. Right now, no one (to include Vardon) truly knows what's happening or what will happen with LeBron's decision.
There was some reporting on Wednesday night that LeBron might be waiting on a team like the Cavs or Warriors to make a move for Kyrie Irving or Anthony Davis before he revealed his decision, but it didn't take long for that to be conflicted.
In Thursday's appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, ESPN's Shams Charania (seen above) said the exact opposite.
And if his read and report on the situation is accurate, than we're simply waiting on LeBron to choose between the suitors reportedly left on the table.
Of course, it's a huge decision. "Where should I end perhaps the greatest career in NBA history?" isn't something most could sleep on for a night and feel comfortable about.
But we're now at three-plus weeks of deliberation, and several teams, the league itself and countless fans are hungry for a resolution.
