Just a housekeeping note: Yes, I plan to have a live chat Thursday beginning at 5:30 p.m. and continuing during LeBron James' 6 p.m. special on ESPN, in which he is expected to share his free-agent plans. Will he join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami and completely devastate the city of Cleveland? Will he devote the hourlong slot to share why he's going to stick it out with the Cavaliers? Or will this must-see event involve a surprise, such as why the Clippers just seemed to have too good of an offer to pass up?
Keep in mind that my participation in the chat is tentative at this point. If there is any media availability Thursday on anything Lakers-related, there's a chance I may be tied up putting together the write-ups and video from that session, leaving everyone to enjoy the show unmoderated. However, if all remains quiet on the Lakers front, I'll be sure to join in on the fun.
The main question I want answered isn't which team James decides to play for, but how on Earth will he fill an hourlong program. Will it feature President Obama giving an introductory speech? Will it showcase James giving a PowerPoint presentation on his decision-making process? Will Jay-Z perform in hopes that he can seal the deal for the Nets? Or will the segment really just be a 55-minute edition of "SportsCenter," with the last five minutes detailing James' decision? The possibilities are endless.
Feel free to share your predictions in the comments sections below. Whatever happens, be comforted to know that we'll all witness it in the live chat together.
