I hope so, but I feel like we're all setting up to be extremely disappointed. Now another GM has come out and said that he believes that Bosh will sign with the Heat and that it's been planned for a while. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/674...or_a_long_time/ Nothing is done yet.

I think a lot is done by now we just don't know about, just a lot of misinformation out there as a smokescreen. As a Cleveland writer pointed out, all these meetings teams are scheduling with Lebron and the Knicks with Wade and Bosh and Johnson is illegal. They aren't supposed to have anything to do with these guys until July 1. I'm sure the Bulls have a good idea what they are getting. They wouldn't give Hinrich and a #1 away for nothing if they weren't just about assured they were getting 2 guys out of this FA class. Really, what is there to pitch here? The players advisors are aware of every teams' ability to get better and current roster. All these guys are familiar with each city. The max guys know what they will be getting paid. I think the Bulls are going to shock people one way or the other. Either Lebron and Bosh or Johnson or even Wade or something like Boozer and Johnson, which will dissappoint most especially if one of the other teams gets 2 or even 3 of the other guys, but will improve the Bulls.

That contract extension was questionable at best when it was originally signed. If that turns out to prohibit us from being able to sign both Lebron and Bosh (we still don't have the cap space to sign two max free agents) I'll puke every day for the rest of my life. both Brussard and Bucher were on ESPN radio this week and basically said it's only a formality that they don't have the 2 full decks right now, they said it would get done if needed. The fact that LBJ has decided on everyone coming to him instead of making the trips tells me he's basically made up his mind and doesn't want to waste time. I still think the scenario of him giving the Cav's a 3 year deal is realistic, but hopefully it's the Bulls and it's quick Edited June 28, 2010 by SoxFan562004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBJ and Joe Johnson with the NYK roster isn't all that great IMO. If he signs with the Bulls, trying not to be biased here, LBJ, Rose, Noah and the rest are a better team, and the Bulls could add Joe Johnson or another guy of Lebron's choosing. The most intriguing news I've heard is the gambling site that drastically shifted its odds that quickly, that doesn't seem like a reaction to just money coming in, but something they may have heard Edited June 28, 2010 by SoxFan562004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHarris1 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Chad Ford gives this funny story on Simmons podcast: LeBron heard that after every Bulls game MJ went to Gibson's Steakhouse and sat at a specific table with a specific waiter. When in Chicago, Lebron goes to Gibson's and sits at that table with that waiter. During the Chicago draft camp Chad Ford went to Gibson's, found the waiter, and asked him what he thought about Lebron. The waiter told him Lebron is coming, that Lebron had told him to reserve this table for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
