At least I didnt vaguely imply my source was legitimate. But I report the news, I dont make it. So when I hear hot information, the public deserves to be told.

Soxbadger Twitter feed year of our savior Lebron 2010 My sources are hearing that if Lebron leaves Cleveland its Chicago or bust. Benny the Bull planning on changing his name to Lebenny in honor of the singing. Luvables to be named Lebronables

Even worse Wade may have been just outright spying for the Heat. He goes to the Bulls, hears their pitch (maybe including what theyll do with Lebron), then goes back to Miami tells them everything and how to compete with Bulls plan.

There are going to be a handful of pissed owners and Stern will not let them get toyed like this again.

Lebron will get kidnapped like Dan Marino if he goes to Miami. Thats the latest from my criminal sources.

Only a sith deals in absolutes.

Yeah the next one was 4 for CLE and 3 for NYK. But according to the NY newspaper NYK was out of it and Dantonio was upset. You just cant believe anything at this point.

He is one of the most visible faces. I dont care how you slice it, Jay-Z is a businessman. It isnt good business to be buying your competitors product. He would go to games, but he is not going to be the one who purchases the tickets. Jay-Z is all about loyalty and all that jazz, Id love to see concrete proof. What did some one get an application for season tickets from "Sean Carter"? Its just unproven speculation, not to mention it implies Jay-z knows what Lebron is doing. Which is contrary to every report of "Front offices are unsure". (edit) is it time for a Rally Bucher icon? The guy goes from our biggest enemy to our only hope.

How many other NBA owners have season tickets to another teams games? Lets be realistic here, Jay-Z is a pretty visible face of the Nets. Hes not buying season tickets to another team in his conference. Its not about the money, its about being an owner of 1 team and supporting a competitor. It would have been like Jay-Z going out and publicly buying albums made by Death Row.

Yeah I can see Jay-z feeling that buying $40k of season tickets to make $10k is worth the investment and time? Come on.

Isnt Jay-Z the owner of the Nets? Why would he ever buy season tickets to the Heat games? Ive never even heard of Jay having any connection to Miami. Furthermore, does he really need to have season tickets? Wont they just bring down 2 seats if he and beyonce showed up?

When will this team beat a real AL team??!

Wait now Sam Smith is stealing from me, this is BULLs***! And damn his article is remarkably similar to the points ive been making, maybe Im Sam Smith. Yo Chisoxfn, Where have you been hearing the Miami talk is just talk? Besides for Steve and myself, who are obviously top notch sources and have the Lebron pulse.

Lebron will have a great time in Miami. Whenever something goes wrong, it will be Lebron's fault (Miami fans arent going to blame Riley/Wade who already gave them a championship). Whenever something goes right, it will be the team of Wade/Lebron/Bosh did it. Maybe what the league needs is a good heel. Miami the team you love to hate.

That NY article if its legit is actual news. Obviously I dont know the legitimacy, but its hard to imagine that Knicks officials and their head coach start opening their mouths unless they have a real good idea that he at least is not coming to NYK.

3 year deal also potentially puts the rest of his contracts under new CBA, which could cost him drastically. I guess I thought Lebron wanted to be a brand. If he goes to Miami, good luck to him. I dont understand it, and dont even believe its his best chance at rings and legendary status, but Im not the one making the pitch. For all I know Lebron is pissed at Wade/Bosh and is now leading them on so that he can crush them.

here you go, why cleveland rocks:

Drunkbomber, Were on the same page. I worry about what winning with the Knicks could do for his legacy, or being the guy who built the Brooklyn Roc's (I assume they wont be Nets, so im just pretending Jay-Z will name the team after his own label) or the guy who won more rings than Jordan in Chicago. What could he do in Miami that wouldnt be seen as "Lebron/Wade/Bosh" the Three Amigos?

One of my sources said that if this thread can get to 500 pages before Lebron makes his announcement hes a Bull.

After last night not sure the Angels want to be there

Posting every 12 minutes? I was at the Sox game last night for 6 hours, I made one post when I got home. I then have made maybe 2-3 posts today with my reasoning, and then some posts considering what I think the NBA would feel about it. Not sure how that is 1 every 12 minutes. /shrugs

My exact point is to wait and see. You on the other hand said it was done and hes going to Miami.

I do what I want. If I refuse to give up the Lebronasty in Chicago, I refuse to give it up. I dont care what the reports say, I dont care who's "sources" have told them what. I just cant imagine Lebron giving up his dreams to be on Miami. Maybe he will, maybe Wade smooth talked him into believe that everyone will think Lebron is the greatest. Or that whats most important is a great team. But I just cant see it. I cant see a guy who wants to be MJ playing the role of the follower. Ask the question, What would Michael do? Would Jordan have left the Bulls to play for the Pistons if it meant he would have been guaranteed titles? Would he have played on Thomas's team? Would he have gone to LA to play with Magic and be on Magic's team? No, Michael wanted to be on Michael's team. And until proven otherwise I believe Lebron wants to be on Lebron's team. And that means he has to call the shots, and it means that if he was going to go to Miami, that he would have announced first. He would not have let Bosh/Wade steal his thunder. I could be 100% wrong, but I just dont see it. (edit) Metro area? Since when is 7th close to 1 or 3? Not to mention, since when is Miami considered a good sports town? I mean when I think of Miami I think of great sports franchises with a lot of fan support... Get real.

You can read post after post of mine stating I doubt he goes to Miami, Im just saying if he does.

Well if Lebron goes to MIA its gotta be NBA's worst case scenario. 3 stars all choosing to go to the smaller market as compared to Chicago or NY. This is going to be great for NBA playoff ratings.
