Bulls Offseason Thread

[RedFlash]

Multiple sources are telling Newsday that LeBron James has decided to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. The new Big Three is here.

 

 

"Multiple sources" my ass. This is newsday way of trying to get new subscribers. The ONLY people who know where James is going are James/Carter and Leon Rose. So unless any and all of them are letting the cat out of the bag already, I really doubt the Newsday report is accurate. Kinda like James is flying to Miami to meet with Riley, when in actuality he was playing softball.

 

Multiple sources....{scoffs} more like someone telling a friend "I am going to make a guess will you back up my guess, so we can be used as scources.

[Outshined_One]

I'm hoping LeBron narrows it down to two teams with 10 seconds to go, followed by music playing, the scene fading to black, and a "To Be Continued" graphic popping up.

I'm wondering who "multiple sources" are personally......I actually thought that this WOULD stay a secret until the announcement........I guess we can hope on until it's confirmed somewhere though.

 

This is a nothing story. So unless Newsday sources is either James, Carter or Leon Rose, I wouldn't put too much stock into it. Just more hype for Thursday night.

STOP MAKING ME CHECK THIS THREAD ONLY TO SEE STUPID [expletive] POSTS ABOUT THE STUPID [expletive] BUCKS.

 

seriously, get the [expletive] out of here with bucks talk. no one even knows they exist.

[JimSorgi]

One of my buddies just told me that Lebron plans to sign with the Pacers. When I asked him for his source, he just said "your mom" so I'm not really sure if it's legit or not, but I thought I should put it out there anyways.

[17 Seconds]

man, knicks fans are [expletive] delusional

[Magnetic Curses]

i don't even know how lebron to the heat is possible.

[Friendly Confines]

I hope he makes his decision like kids at the All-American football games with a table lined with different teams and he just picks one.

 

Although the idea of him just yelling "CLIPPERS" into the mic would be much better

it would be soooo obnoxious, but i'd love it. quality entertainment

hahn already backed off his tweet.

Why not just turn it into The Bachelor? They could get a bunch of NBA GMs living together in a mansion with eliminations happening every week. The GMs could get camera time, go through various challenges, and make impassioned pleas to LeBron. Current and former NBA stars could make cameos to help LeBron decide.

 

Hell, I'd watch that.

ESPN ticker said Chris Broussard is reporting LeBron to Miami.

ESPN ticker said Chris Broussard is reporting LeBron to Miami.

 

 

I still can't believe it. I won't believe it if he walks onto that show tomorrow wearing a Heat jersey.

I don't either. It's still probably just the next "I'm trying to be the first to officially say where LeBron is going" rumor.

[17 Seconds]

I honestly think that might be a good sign. A lot of people that speculated Broussard is being used as the puppet of LeBron's crew to give the info the stuff they want them to think. Also, why would ESPN want to take away the suspense from the show they're televising tomorrow? Who knows.

 

I also like the "barring of change of heart" line

 

Edit: Also "90%"

Yeah, I'm not buying that someone from ESPN is totally destroying their own show tomorrow. Makes no sense.

I honestly believe Chris Broussard is being used by James' as a puppet, and that the Heat is a smokescreen. I think it will come down to Chicago and Cleveland. This is why you don't believe anything ESPN or their writers, etc, say because there is a huge conflict of interests. I think Broussard and the Heat are being used.

If LeBron goes to Miami the league becomes even more predictable then usual. I will also be cheering for the Lakers for the first time in my life when they meet in the Finals for the next 5 years or so.

It's not like Broussard is getting a cut of the revenue.

If it happen, which I still think is doubtful, I simply won't watch any basketball that doesn't Chicago Bulls. Once Bulls are done, I will find something else to pass time till the new bb season begins.

You dont say.

 

 

But really, why would ESPN want him on there giving away the secret that would basically make their 1 hour special completely worthless?

[DivineBovine]

Broussard Tweets: Some were right, some were wrong, some were obvious. Regarding LeBron, first the Bulls were frontrunners with Cleveland, then Miami, then NJ just blew LeBron away, then the Knicks were all the sudden big time players, and now he's going to Miami. Either LeBron changes his mind like an 8 year old or Chris Broussard's sources aren't so reliable.

Here's to LeBron being a showman (which he definitely is) and pulling a surprise announcement to the Bulls tomorrow.

Because ESPN doesn't want every other news outlet reporting something while they stay quiet and look like clowns? I'm not saying Broussard is right, but you're just making a baseless assumption out of your own interpretation of the situation. (Just like how Lebron must be going to New York because the press conference thing just SCREAMED New York)
