I'm sure Jason Goff has some decent sources, but the dude told us that Wade and Bosh to the Bulls was imminent on Saturday.

 

I'm not believing another thing he says.

At this point, the only people I'm paying attention to are Wojnarowski, KC Johnson, and David Aldridge.

BTW: The only thing I'd bet on - Wade back to Miami. I think he's milking this for his doc. No way he walks away from 30m during a divorce. 3 minutes ago via web

He also said in his previous posts that this is just him guessing. He doesn't have any inside information.

Worst case scenario from Ric Bucher;

 

ESPN's Ric Bucher feels that Carlos Boozer is likely to sign with the Bulls.

Here is Bucher's full Tweet, for what it's worth: "As of the moment, all signs point to this scenario: LBJ (Cle), Wade + Bosh(Mia), Boozer(Chi), Amare(NY). Not that that's startling news." We haven't heard much from Boozer while the world waits for the elite FAs to announce their decisions.

I think I can take SOME solace in the fact that there is no way the Bulls TRULY strike out. At worst, we'll land one of Boozer or Lee, which still improves the team quite a bit. And you'll have more cap space to work with as well.

The big question is what would the Bulls do with that cap space. Who could they get? What star guards/forwards are out there that would be good fits that we could acquire?

He was on the Score today and said that his source is "directly involved in the situation" with Wade negotiations. Seemed like the Bulls truly believed that he was going to sign and they couldn't get the commitment.

Say what you want, but no one has any information on this nationally or locally. He was pretty defensive about that source notice he hasn't had much inside info since.

So is he still hearing Wade to the Bulls?

Perhaps things were closer than they seemed, but it seemed like the use of the word "imminent" was a bit of a LEAP, especially considering he said both Wade and Bosh.

Give me Lee/Boozer and Allen/Redick as a worst case. (fill the other spots with snipers and a big man to help Rose) and call it an off-season. Still a top 5 team in the East, though still will probably get bounced (early or late other people can say) in the playoffs.

He is guessing, but I agree with him. Prove me wrong Wade!!

I'd rather have Boozer and Noah than Bosh and a fill-in.

Depends on what the "fill-in" is. They'd have a lot of cap room to add something legit in the backcourt. However, I think it's moot. They won't deal Noah for Bosh unless they know Lebron or Wade is coming as well.

Some believe that the longer LeBron takes to decide, the more likely it is that he'll leave Cleveland.

 

Lol, I have heard the complete opposite position to this same issue. Absolutely no one knows what the f*** is going on. LBJ and a few others are the ones who have any idea of what is going to happen.

Looking at it from LeBron's or Wade's point of view, wouldn't you much rather player with Noah and Boozer than just Bosh? I know they're friends and all, but Noah/Boozer is a much stronger situation to come into, imo.

It's been on Sportscenter. The idea of Amare and LeBron this off season with Carmelo joining next off season. Carmelo I guess wants to play in NY.
