And on the ninth day of NBA Free Agency, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony finally announced their decisions — not exactly, but you have to give today a decent chance of it getting done.

More from Cleveland Cavaliers

With LeBron James meeting with Pat Riley later today, a decision could come as soon as today — or at least something has the potential to get leaked. Then again, LeBron’s camp has done an exceptional job of keeping everything underwraps so that is probably an unlikely scenario.

Still, one can dream.

In any case, here is the updated NBA Free Agency roundup leading up to what could be…DECISION DAY:

As @ESPNSteinLine reports, Cavs unload Jack/Zeller/Karasev in 3-way. Asked Cavs official: Still in it for James? "I believe so," he says.
