I could be wrong, but I bet you guys are shocked at how good some awful role players can look when Wade and James are on the floor at the same time.

 

To the extent that they'll be able to slash and kick, sure, but who are they going to slash and kick to? Are Kyle Korver, Mike Miller and Jared Dudley going to call a press conference announcing their intention to sign with the Miami Heat? Who do they dump the ball to inside? Pape Sow?

 

I'll repeat: this And 1 monstrosity won't get out of the Eastern Conference. I doubt they could even take the Bulls in a seven-game series.

 

:lol: We'll see about that I suppose...

I'll take that bet.

 

If Lebron signs with the Heat, they'll make it to the Finals.

Yeah I nervously searched for my posts on Beasley, thank God it was Sulley.

i was pro-rose, but i said that if you draft him, you might be able to turn he and tyrus thomas into Paul-Chandler of the eastern conference. WOOPS

I am still trying to figure out how so there are so many sources out there (if you believe Broussard, Sheridan, Wojo, Isola, Hahn, LeBaTard, SAS, etc, etc) who claim to be "near the situation" when it reality there are like maybe a handful of people that James will talk to about his plans (His agent, Maverick, his mom, etc) And if James is as tight lipped as he claims he is, (look what happen to WWW when he got loose lips) how would these sources know what is going on? Can someone explain how Broussard and others can have sources near the situation, when in reality these sources are like fans and are basically guessing right now?

 

I mean if James isn't saying anything, if Maverick isn't saying anything, if Gloria isn't saying anything, if Leon Rose isn't saying anything, then where are these sources getting their info? From organizations? From James' boys who don't participate in the decision making? So either these sources are not as close as Broussard's of the world are leading to believe, or Broussard and the like are talking an ounce of info (the smallest detail that is leaked from James' camp on purpose) and turning it into a story.

IM BACK TO CLEVELAND

 

full circle

 

i think he's going to cleveland, that's my final answer

I was fine with either pick but I remember being a huge Beasley fan throughout the college season and I thought his game would carry over.

 

My bad.

Wouldn't shock me in the least.

 

Can he just go to the Clippers if he doesn't come to the Bulls? That'd be all kinds of awesome.

It's not as far fetched as you would think.

 

Noah vs Heat C BULLS

Boozer vs Bosh PUSH - maybe slight Heat edge

LeBron vs Deng HEAT

Wade vs Bulls SG HEAT

Rose vs Chalmers BULLS

Bench BULLS

Coaching HEAT - assuming Riley comes back

Of course, it's not a binary comparison, neither team is complete, Bosh is significantly better than Boozer going forward, and nobody knows the Bulls coaching quality, but other than that, it's pretty accurate.

The leaks from Lebron's camp are a product of pillow talk between Gloria and Delonte.

 

And yeah, I was thinking about Lebron shocking everyone and going to the Clippers. Basically everyone's blasting him for the way he's handling this and even going back to Cleveland won't restore all of his goodwill. But if he goes to the Clippers to take on Kobe in his own town he'd get back most people on his side.

quote i just read in a 2002 LeBron story at SI

 

"She's in New Orleans," LeBron says, grinning at the memory of how well his mother, Gloria, had gotten on with Jordan when they met in Chicago last summer.

 

oh i bet she did

Several GMs & prominent agents are defiant, insisting #LeBron will stay in CLE. They can't see the rationale of leaving $ and this process.

The Heat advantages are on a different order of magnitude from the Bulls advantages.

Well those agendas have their own agendas. "If Lebron can leave money on a table, then can your client" would be thrown out there quicker then a Glorida/Delonte get together. So I can see why these agents believe he won't leave money on the table, cause it would hurt their clients.

Thats a pretty narrow way of looking at it, though. You could take a 3-on-3 team of Me, Michael Jordan in his prime, and my (legally blind) roommate and put us up against 3 average division III basketball players. By your reasoning they'd have a 2-1 advantage, but I bet my team would still win.

That's an excellent comparison. I have no response for such genius. Bravo, good sir.

Be a smartass if you'd like, but its just as good of a comparison as yours is. The advantage LeBron/Wade have over Deng/whoever is just infinitely larger than any that the bulls might have over their other guys.

 

Dont get me wrong, I'm not guaranteeing the heat an NBA championship, but to say that they might not even beat out that list of teams that you gave is just insane.
