If Wade and BIG B, goes to Chicago no way will KING NO TITLE. He has to much ego to be the #3 guy on any team.

Are you KIDDING me? EVERY chance you get to post a "Lebron is going here, Lebron is going there" link you do. You've said "he doesn't want to win if he stays in Cleveland." You're ROOTING for him to leave hence you're a fucking asshole. I think that's pretty common knowledge for everyone on this site by now.

I'm not "losing it" because I think LBJ's gonna leave because if this Wade/Bosh deal happens he won't be going anywhere. I'm pissed because you're a fucking troll in the vein of Capone.

Well your "three headed monster" scenario of Bosh/Wade/Lebron in Chicago is pie in the sky. My money STILL has Wade staying in Miami and Bosh getting signed & traded (max deal) and getting traded to either Miami, NJ or Cleveland.

I think Wade and Bosh are bordering on a package deal right now be it Chicago or Miami. They were in Chicago together having dinner last night, they are best friends, share an agent, and I just get this feeling they are going to end up together leaving Lebron as the odd man out wherever he goes.

Wade has been putting the full court press on Bosh it seems and if they end up together in a Chicago particularly I can't help but think Lebron will be kicking himself for not essentially securing Bosh for himself. A Rose/Wade/Bosh/Noah core would be tough if that's the route they go, and while all those guys are friends, the one of the 3 who gets left without the 2nd star is going to have it tough.

I think Wade might have woken up and realized that he was screwed if Lebron went with Bosh to Chicago given their young core, and he is basically deciding to swoop in and stop it from happening.

If the goal all along for Wade/Bosh has been to play together, they have a better chance of winning big in Chicago than Miami as Miami would have had 3 start and 9 minimum salary guys, and that is a tough way to win. If the rumors are true it is pragmatic and cut-throat on Wade's part as no one saw him leaving Miami.

Sharing an agent has helped those guys be at the hip for awhile now. Several execs aren't buying into the Wade to Chicago thing. That means absolutely nothing since those are the same guys that have had LBJ going to a few different places.

I wonder what it's like to be a decent FA right now. Somebody like Haslem, I bet he's watching this shit like man I don't know the best place for me until these assholes sign.

From everything I'm gathering from real good Heat posters that have proven their worth the past few seasons.. Bosh is getting greedy. He wants the max and may not get it in Miami. Wade doesn't wanna be left out.

He would kill to play with Wade and Bosh in Chicago....
Chicago Sirius station is saying that there may be an agreement between Bosh,Wade and Chicago tonight and they may travel with the team to Cleveland tomorrow to pitch Lebron

You do realize that once Lebron resigns with the Cavs you are never going to be able to post again LOL

This was what I was posting about earlier. Bosh wants the 6 year max which is going to mean a S&T to wherever. I still think he ends up with Wade if this happens. As has been said,it only seems like Windy and Bucher are the ones saying he could team up with Lebron in Cleveland.

Unconfirmed rumors have the Bulls sending Luol Deng to the Trail Blazers for Jerryd Bayless and Joel Przybilla.
This would be a salary-clearing move for Chicago, who would then be able to sign two max FAs without needing to work a sign-and-trade. Even if this deal was mentioned, Chicago won't be eager to unload Deng for next to nothing unless they're fairly certain that two max FAs actually want to be signed.

I actually really like that trade for both teams. I think Deng has value in Portland (although his contract is horrible) and then Chicago adds a couple pieces. Przybilla is a really solid player whether he's a starter or coming off the bench. And Bayless has shown some promise. If the Bulls make this move and then only land one key free agent (even someone like Boozer) that makes them a really good team.

One of the Heat posters I respect a lot has heard a bit of a rumor about LBJ's meeting (through people from lil Arison). Pat brought all 7 of his rings, but only left with 6 of them. Before walking out of the door he called for LBJ's attention and tossed him his latest ring across the room and told him "Think about it. You keep that one, my hand is already full of those". I don't care if there is any truth to that at all (and I doubt there is), but if Pat did that to me I would get goosebumps and ask for a damn pen.

Haha. It was greased up for LBJ so he could try it on and actually take it off.

Ric Bucher (ESPN) saying he believes that Wade stays in Mia, Lebron in Cle and Bosh to either Miami or Houston. Feels the Bulls "played along" with Wade to try to entice Lebron. Feels the Bulls may be shut out of the big name FA's.

Obviously the Bulls want a big name, but honestly they can afford to get somewhat shut out. They have a really good, young nucleus in place now. Even if they add someone like David Lee or Boozer, that makes them a pretty good team.

It's believed they'd likely end up with Boozer.
