So if the Bulls want to do a sign and trade for Bosh, could they have already talked to the Raptors about it? That shouldn't be tampering to talk to them....

If they do a S&T for Bosh that includes Deng, would they be able to add LeBron AND another FA?

I don't think so...the way I understand it is that right now they can't straight up sign 2 max FA's. They're a little short. The S&T with Deng would let us do Bosh and Lebron at max, and then have enough to fill out the rest of the bench I believe...

Is this S&T being discussed? Or are we just throwing out ideas?

 

Ideas. But if we do land Bosh, a S&T is highly likely.

 

Yeah...and it's pretty likely Deng would be part of it...but I think they'd probably want more than that.

 

I don't think we'd sign Bosh at max before Lebron if a S&T wasn't involved...then you wouldn't have enough for Lebron.

I predict after all this speculation and excitement, Lebron stays with Cleveland.

 

If he was going to stay with Cleveland, I don't know why he wouldn't have already done that.

Who knows? I never said he has made his final decision. Maybe he just wants to see exactly what kind of other situations are out there.

I think that'll be Friday's big story. Monday was Chicago, Tuesday was Miami, I think today is the Knicks turn, tomorrow is probably the Nets.

It sounds like like the Bulls wants a big man (rather it is Bosh, Boozer, or worse case scenerio Amar'e) in the bag before they go chat with LBJ6. Then pitch the ideal or Rose/Noah and said FA PF to LBJ6. Not a bad plan, but I guess whoever can get Bosh, or Johnson, or whoever committed to them the quickiest/earliest, then my guess that team will have a legitimate chance at landing James.

Well, that's exactly what the article says. Good job with the detective skills.

 

I didn't read the article, Bob. I don't know why I quote the article, but I didn't read it, I was going off speculation from another site. So............excuse me.

No way he goes back to Cleveland. I just don't see it happening.

 

It's all speculative at this point certainly. But why don't you see it as a possibility?

He's never going to win a title with the current bunch that they have there. I think he realizes that.

I agree with you on this. If Cleveland had made it to the Finals this year, then maybe he could have been convinced that he could win there. I think their early exit from the playoffs killed any chances of him staying.

If LeBron can't guarantee another max player coming to Chicago/Miami/New York/NJ, then Cleveland makes just as much sense as anybody.

Maybe at winning regular season games.

How do you figure that Cleveland's bench makes as much sense as a team with Noah and Rose?

Because Varejao is better than Noah. And because Williams+Jamison aren't really worse than Rose+Deng, and at the very least are better suited to LeBron's game.

Um...ok. That's not true though.
