theprofessor Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 If Lebron's biggest priority is to win a ring then the team that has the best supporting cast out of the BIG 3 is the Chicago Bulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 FWIW, ESPN is thinking it is Miami. Â Â Even if they KNEW who it was, it's pretty smart marketing by the Kings court. You really can't leak it if you have a 1 hour special on it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I am sooo sick of lebron. I can see it now, he takes off his friggin yankees cap and replaces it with a heat cap. Sweet. And what's going to happen with the other 50 minutes of show? Rihanna half time anyone? Puleezze. monster truck aficionado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprofessor Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Miami with Wade & Bosh is better. Â IMO, it's not even close ..... Miami is going to probably have to give up Beasley and two journeyman to get Bosh in the sign and trade. That leaves Miami with Chalmers, Wade, Pittman(?), Lebron and Bosh and virtually no supporting cast. If he goes to Chicago they roll out a line-up of Derrick Rose, Kirk Hinrich, Joakin Noah, Carlos Boozer and Lebron James. Plus they have depth with Luol Deng, Flip Murray, Acie Law, Joe Alexander, Brad Miller, Taj Gibson, etc ----- I'll take that line-up ALL DAY over the Heats line-up.

Delicious_bass Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I heard about this. At least I heard Lebron is donating the money from this to charity. Wouldn't it be funny if they do cliffhanger commercial breaks like TV shows do. Lebron - "I've decided to sign with..." We'll be right back after these important messages from our sponsers. Even with that, this is completely ridiculous and classless, IMO. If he doesnt want to re-sign in Cleveland, that's fine. Its his perogative and he's earned the right to choose. But to make a spectacle out of it the way he is is shameful. I have no dog in this fight (as I cant stand the NBA and have no ties to Cleveland) but this will be a hugh slap in the face of the fans who have supported him there over his career if he goes on tv tonight and says he's moving on. And even if he stays, he's now making it ALL about him. Either way...bad form, IMO. Â Oh, and can you imagine the outrage on the part of the players if the owners decided to have a primetime show and announce when they are going to cut/dump players, trade players, etc? "Tonight on ESPTMZN...watch and see if Team X decides they dont want Player X anymore and kick him to the curb!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 IMO, it's not even close ..... Miami is going to probably have to give up Beasley and two journeyman to get Bosh in the sign and trade.

Plus they have depth with Luol Deng, Flip Murray, Acie Law, Joe Alexander, Brad Miller, Taj Gibson, etc ----- I'll take that line-up ALL DAY over the Heats line-up. Â Hinrich was already traded away to the Wizards. Miller is a free agent and not being asked back. Murray, Law, Alexander as well as Devin Brown and Pargo are all free agents, and most likely could not be resigned at current salary levels after the Bulls bring in Boozer and add on Lebron;s salary. Â But, Rose, Noah, Boozer and Lebron has a nice ring to it. I just think that if Miami can get players to join up for below market rates to play wit hthose three, ala the Celtics in the last few years, then Miami may well have the edge roster wise. Â Also, I think Bosh is doing a straight sign with Miami, not a sign and trade. Beasley can then be shopped to other teams to free up additional space for the role players I mentioned above. Â Â Â Heck, I have no dog in this fight. I think I am happy about the Warriors likely getting David Lee in the sign and trade from the Knicks, but if James shocks us and goes to the Knicks, that deal is off.

keggerz Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I don't see how Rose/LeBron makes much sense really...Rose is a PG that you want the ball in his hands....LeBron if not bringing the ball up court gets it almost immediately so not sure how that works with Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmypg Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'm intrigued to see if he goes to Miami do the big 3 take a slight pay cut to keep Beasley? Â I'm not an NBA fan so I have no dog in this fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 He's taken the joke that the NBA has become to an art form. A tv show to announce who he's going to grace with his "me, me, me" presence for the next few years? ridiculous. And if he really wanted to be a class act, he could just whip out his checkbook and give the boys and girls clubs the cash himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I see" said the blind man who grabbed his hammer and saw.  NFL = No Fun League (but we all know that already) Maybe he's all awesome enough for them to change the team name to the LeBrowns. I do find the notion that the huge difference in the leagues - NFL vs NBA - is the reason for the uniform police and strict codes of the No Fun League. The NFL is a "team driven" marketing league where everybody is the same, while the NBA markets the heck out of their individuals. And then I look at the stability of the leagues and bottom line of money and attendance. Hmmmm... maybe the NFL does know what they are doing.  EDIT: Late entry by a Wizards fan  http://www.cnn.com/2010/SPORT/07/08/lebron...suit/index.html Edited July 9, 2010 by lennykravitz2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myhousekey Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Heat just traded Michael Beasley to the Twolves. I think that means they are down to 4 players under contact. I'm available for cheap to be their 5th. All I gotta do is pass the ball right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
