And that's why the teams that were bidding were played for suckers and should lose their jobs.

Oh, please. The Bulls would have been idiots not to take a chance at landing elite talent. At the expense of what? Salmons, Gordon and Hinrich?

Riley promised Lebron some guys

 

I feel Shaq will be the first piece.

 

Shaq C

Bosh PF

 

Then theyll get a PG and have 5 stars.

 

Maybe theyll win, but theyll never been considered the best team ever and none of them will ever be the best player.

 

Always fun to shoot for almost the best.

 

As Jay-Z would say:

 

"Rank me among the greats, either 1, 2 or 3

If I ain't number one then I failed you victory."

 

Lebron will never be 1, 2 or 3 after today

Looks like LeBron didn't take his buddy's advice.

I had this discussion earlier with my best friend.

 

I think the problem is that they overestimated the maturity and intelligence with which these twentysomething year old kids would handle the process.

 

Instead of hiring intelligent people around them, they've decided to listen to their friends and try and form an NBA dynasty as if this were one of their AAU summer leagues.

 

Unfortunately, it's not.

 

And it's going to really hurt their own legacies and the NBA as a whole.

All of the other NBA greats (Jordan, Magic, Bird, and yes, Kobe) created their own legacies, they didn't all collude to go to the same team (something owners can't get away with btw) to make it easy to win a championship. Something I'm really sold on yet btw.

totally disagree, especially given Wade's injuries in the past.

Honestly. I don't get this decision. Rose will be better than Wade within 2 years and the rest of the Heat is garbage besides Bosh. Him not going back to Cleveland angers me a lot more than him not joining the Bulls. This is all about him wanting to play with his friends.

They are pretty well versed on the maturity levels of these guys and have been for years. I was somewhere with an old Bulls trainer many years ago. He actually spoke about the lack of maturity with the Bulls and the roster included Jordan. He said there were only 2 players the team would send out to speaking functions because they were the only players that could handle it, and MJ wasn't one.
