LeBron James' highly anticipated meeting with the Miami Heat in Las Vegas ended Wednesday afternoon, but his uncertain future remains.
According to a person with knowledge of his situation, James has not made up his mind about whether he will re-sign with the Heat or head elsewhere. He is expected to meet with his family to discuss his future, though there is no announcement expected on Wednesday night.James and agent Rich Paul won't meet with any other teams before making his decision. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the talks.
BRENNAN: LeBron, go home
CARMELO: Also undecided
The Cleveland Cavaliers are considered the most dangerous threat to the Heat's hope of bringing James back. The meeting, which lasted more than an hour, included James, Paul, Heat President Pat Riley and Heat assistant general manager Andy Elisburg.The Cavaliers' three-team trade that was agreed upon Wednesday gives them the necessary salary cap space to sign James, but two people with knowledge of the situation said they were attempting to add yet another enticement to his recruitment by trading for Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love.

Sheridan goes on to report that the announcement will be made on Thursday.
Chris Bosh
One big piece in the NBA free agency market did make a decision on Wednesday, and forward Chris Bosh reportedly decided to sign with the Houston Rockets.......if James decides to head to Cleveland.
Bosh agreeing to a deal with the Rockets can be viewed two ways. The first is that he knows James is serious about leaving, and needs to have a backup plan in place. The second is that he is talking to the Rockets so that the Heat know they have to pay him max money to return.
The good news is that we should be getting some answers soon. James is leaving the country later this week, so the expectations are that he will be making his decision as early as Thursday
