Chisoxfn Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 PDcavsinsider From what I hear Raptors & Cavs not as far down line on sign-and-trade as is being reported. There have been some talks, not serious yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 05:33 PM) You left out Luol Deng, who hurts your flexibility quite a bit. You're very unlikely to sign both Haywood and Allen for the $14-15 mil you'd have left under the cap. And if Allen's going to take less money to leave Boston (which prob isn't happening) that'll probably be with a contender. The Bulls may have a chance with Redick at the full MLE, especially after the Magic signed Duhon today though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not if it means we didn't get a LBJ or Wade, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bulls end up gettin 2 max FA's, can they still use the MLE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have to make a deal with the Magic. Bulls do have a few exceptions that might work though to the point that the Bulls could do a sign and trade and use the exception and give the magic a draft pick for helping em out.

I think we got a trade exception out of the Hedo sign and trade deal from last off-season, so I'm not sure how valuable that's going to be in the end. I'm pretty sure we'll end up matching an offer for him when it's all said and done anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I have to imagine the Bulls feel real (I MEAN REAL REAL REAL) good that Carlos Boozer is theirs if they want him and that they are legitimately still in the hunt for the Big 3. Otherwise, I think they would have gone out and signed Boozer already to at least have one solid FA acquisition. I still have the feeling LBJ to Cleveland, Wade/Bosh to Miami and then Boozer to Chi with Korver/Redick/Miller/Morrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 LeBatardShow Lebron and dwyane want to play together. But compromise is both giving equally. That means both leaving their cities. Both risk hate to win? I support this tweet, even though it's bulls***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scenario Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) ESPNNewYork.com reports: Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov likes his team's chances of signing LeBron James and is convinced that Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh will play for the Heat next season. According to notes obtained from a conference call Prokhorov had with his inner circle of executives over the weekend, the Nets' boss believes James would diminish his "brand" by playing alongside Wade and Bosh. Prokhorov was optimistic about the Nets' bid for James and said if he came aboard, they would pursue a trade for his close friend Chris Paul. If this didn't happen, he would look to sign Carlos Boozer. Several other interesting notes in this article as well.

whitesoxfan101 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Today's questions: Are we actually any closer to a resolution to this now than we've been in the last several days other than the fact the season is coming closer and they eventually have to decide? And does anybody actually know anymore about what is going to happen now than in the past? Or is everything we're reading still bull s*** and nobody actually knows what they're doing yet?

And does anybody actually know anymore about what is going to happen now than in the past? Or is everything we're reading still bull s*** and nobody actually knows what they're doing yet? I think we're finding out that Lebron wants to stay in Cleveland more than originally thought. IMO there's four ways this plays out: (1) Lebron stays in Cleveland, convinces Bosh to come with him, forces Wade to come to Chicago with Lee or Boozer. (2) Lebron stays in Cleveland, Bosh signs with another team completely (not Miami since Tor has said no to any S&T with Miami), Wade comes to Chicago with Lee or Boozer (3) Lebron comes to Chicago, convinces Bosh to come with, Wade stays in Miami (4) Lebron comes to Chicago and convinces Wade to come with, Bosh to Houston, the rest no one cares. Edit: sorry, 5 5) Lebron and Wade stay, Bosh goes to Houston, Chicago gets f***ed. Edited July 6, 2010 by Jenksismybitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Or Bosh/Lebron to Cleveland, Wade/Boozer to Miami. No real clarity, its wait and see at this point. And absent some major precursor move I dont think anyone will have a clue until everything happens at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 The city of Chicago wants LeBron James, the Bulls organization wants LeBron, but if it were up to Derrick Rose, he would have preferred to have Joe Johnson join the team, instead of James. Brian Windhorst of The Plain Dealer wrote the following tweets on Monday: "LeBron really likes Rose and Joakim Noah. But there's lack if shooters on roster. Also it doesn't sound like he's exactly being welcomed by Rose. "Didn't say Rose was anti-LeBron. But the word is preference was Joe Johnson. They have same agent. That is what multiple people tell me." Arn Tellem represents Rose and Johnson, who has agreed to re-sign with Atlanta. Did Rose really say he prefers JJ over Lebron? Don't think so. I know Rose and JJ is a better fit, but Rose wanted Lebron here as well. Pathetic Cleveland beat writers trying to create rumors and dramas of a dysfunctional Rose Lebron relationship to turn Lebron away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
