fathom Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I heard a rumor that LeBron was eating gummy bears and flashing gang signs with D. Rose tonight. That makes me feel better about our chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 12:08 AM) I would think that after 280 pages you would all know better by now. By 10 AM someone else will say that he's a lock for the Knicks, then by 2 PM someone will say he's definitely going to by Miami, then by 4 we'll get some other report that he's smoking a blunt with Rose and Noah on the south side. Then after the announcement everyone will pick some random comment they made at some point over the next three weeks and claim that they knew all along. That could be a fun game to play, what did LeBron do tonight? : A)Have dinner with Amar'e and Allan Houston B)Fly out to Miami to meet with Pat Riley C)Smoke a b with Rose and Noah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me feel better about our chances. I'm with you on him not going somewhere in which he gets all the credit. It's why Chicago makes the most sense: he'll have a really good team around him, but he gets all the credit if they win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 12:09 AM) yes, i thought that last night and then woke up to find wade and bosh in miami. I don't really get your point. As recently as this weekend Wade and Bosh to Chicago was "imminent". Things change constantly because no one has any real info until things actually happen (which was the case this morning). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why Chicago makes the most sense: he'll have a really good team around him, but he gets all the credit if they win. I think the Bulls have very little chance, as I'd put them 4th. I'd go with Cleveland, New York, and Miami in that order. I don't trust a single word that anyone has said about the situation. What is telling to me is he's announcing his decision so close to New York City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he won't let anything leak to the media, but he will give up his decision based on the location of his announcement? Don't believe that either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So was Wade and Bosh to Miami. In fact.. that was the first thing people speculated about before this whole process started. Maybe that is good for us as most speculated LeBron comming here before the whole process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 BTW.. We left the Nets brass stunned.. The Nets were left stunned by Carlos Boozer's decision to sign with the Bulls. Rod Thorn offered Boozer's agent Rob Pelinka $75 million over five seasons to play for the Nets. Pelinka told Thorn he would get back to him by the end of the day, according to a Nets' source. But Boozer had agreed to his five-year, $80 million deal with the Bulls two hours later. “They never gave us a chance to match, which we probably would have done,” said the official, who requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak for the team. “We didn’t even get a chance to meet.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't believe that either Would you say that if he was announcing in Cleveland, he would likely be staying there? I don't think LeBron would announce from Gary, Indiana to say that he's not coming to the Bulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Brian Windhorst PDcavsinsider Newsday has reported LeBron has decided on Heat. Only a couple of people can truly confirm this. None have to me at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is telling to me is he's announcing his decision so close to New York City. He's got Melo's wedding. As Willie said, there's no way he'd leak absolutely nothing through out this whole process then all the sudden give up his decision by the location of his press conference or one hour special or reality show or whatever the f*** you want to call it.

How much warning did we get on Bosh/Wade? I don't know about you, but when I woke up this morning that was the first I heard that it was a done deal, not significantly before that. How much warning did we get on Boozer? At the beginning of the day the Cavs and Nets were still trying to lure him in an effort to convince Lebron to come. Taking this as gospel doesn't make any sense given all of the bulls*** out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
