Dick Allen Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 With the rumor that Lebron is going to sign a 2 or 3 year deal and the difference between what Cleveland can give him in those 2 or 3 years is not $30 million but pretty slight relatively speaking, something like less than $5 million, what is the fewest amount of years a team can give these FAs to where they have the full advantage of re-signing them when the contract expires? Couldn't JR give these guys max contracts with a 3 year out and a wink wink agreement he will give them the full boat then? Then they come out ahead.

Soxbadger Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Problem is the new CBA may drastically reduce salaries. Lebron 3 year deal would have to be a 6 year deal with opt out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 So here's how I'm putting this together. Lebron wants to stay in Cleveland, but he doesn't want to go back with the same roster. Cleveland doesn't have any money and few valuable trade pieces. Bosh is certainly out of Toronto, but Toronto can't come to an agreement with CLE, CHI, or MIA. He's basically only attainable in a sign and trade. Wade is essentially waiting on what Bosh and Lebron do. If Bosh or Lebron don't go to Miami, Wade is gone. The Bulls are probably waiting on Lebron instead of going all out for the Bosh/Wade duo, They probably have a deal on the table moving Deng but won't pill the trigger before they get a commit.

SoxFan1 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Chris Bosh tweeting it is a GREAT day either means he's on the verge of something OR he's just being an attention whore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Would Toronto take Pryzbilla, Bayless, Gibson, and Charlotte's #1 easier than Deng, Gibson, Char #1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scenario Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 06:01 PM) The Bulls can offer something better... The problem is that if the Bulls sign and trade for Bosh, and then want to bring in Wade... that Wade would have to come in at less years and money... unless we do a sign and trade for him too... which Miami will not do. So... basically if Miami can execute a sign and trade for Bosh, both he and Wade can be 'happy' with max deals. So, it's beginning to look like we could get aced out.

Steve9347 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) @Ryan_Jody is the trade a done deal? Not done. If it was, I'd be writing it for espn.com. I was giving an example of what Tor wd/cd do. Bucher posted this, btw. He's an idiot, and no, it's not a done deal.

Soxbadger Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Bucher's post was a theoretical. As in, if Miami offered it would be done. Horrible phrasing, although I think he is just trying to get views. In which case misleading is the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 f*** this twitter s***, nobody knows anything, i'm sticking to my own guns on this one lebron stays in cleveland, bosh goes to houston, wade either stays in miami or comes to chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 I could have posted that the Bulls could just toss Taj Gibson + 2 future 1sts + trade exception: Done too!!!! Bucher is annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 They were saying that Tor asked for Noah in a deal for Bosh and the Bulls say no... talk about over valuing your own players... man the Bulls are the worst with this. Deng and Hinrich come to mind for the latest 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Ric Bucher @Aykis16: Can we agree on this? That you need to stop tweeting today before you hurt yourself. (Agreed. Taking a break now.) LOL. That's right you are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 The key is Toronto. If they're willing to deal Bosh for Chalmers, picks, and cash... then Wade and Bosh are off the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
