I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years many big free agency decisions are given 15 minute slots on sport specific channels like MLB/NFL network.
-
ESPN would rather show the 900th rerun of the 2009 World Series of Poker than "Marian Hossa: The Decision" Even Versus would probably show bull riding or something. No one is watching Marian Hossa: The Decision. No one.
-
From his body language I bet Lebron would rather get his teeth pulled than go through that again. He looked really uncomfortable.
-
The Celtics did not pick up that many ring chasers if I'm remembering correctly. Posey maybe? Rondo, Perkins, Baby, those guys were already there. Edit: I guess they did pick up Eddie House, Posey, and then Cassell and PJ Brown near the end of the season.
-
I have to take minor exception to the idea that Lebron took the Cavs to previously unexplored levels of success. They went to a whole new level in the public eye, sure, but they barely did anything more than what the Price/Ehlo/Daugherty/Nance teams did. That 2007 Finals "performance" was such an abortion that I barely count it.
-
Shaq is the linch pin here. I bet if he hooks up for the minimum competent vets will follow.
-
Hell yes.
-
Also allows Miami to get back Haslem and Wright using Bird rights. They're waiting for Mike Miller and they contacted Jason Williams to play for minimum. It does? That blows. Haslem is a real piece. I hope someone outbids them for Mike Miller. If they get Shaq or Brad to take the minimum they're going to be set.

Nah that's Derrick Rose who couldn't even past his STAs LMAO

Between this and wishing the Bulls still had Hinrich and Salmons you're on a roll tonight. John Salmons is a fine basketball player. Not for 5/40 If he plays like he did for Bulls/Bucks after being brought over he easily is. The problem is that he may play like he did for the 1st half of last season. If you're looking for a guy that can make some 3s, get his own shot, and guard Dwyane Wade you could do a lot worse. He is a bit of a black hole of course.

Was this posted yet? Dan Gilbert just went off on Lebron:

For us or the Heat?
-
And now that I'm looking at his B-R page he looks even better. Some of his advanced metrics are off the charts.
-
Horace Grant was not that replaceable. He was easily a top 5 power forward during the first 3 peat.
-
Depending on how much you suck and if your roommate really is blind I would say 3 division III basketball players might be able to take you. Triple team MJ, not like you gotta guard the blind guy. Basically it comes down to you making open jumpers.
-
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.

He doesn't have a position. If he gets his head on straight he could be a great 6th man though. How is he ok to play 25 minutes a game as a 6th man without a position, but not 35 as a starter? The definition of positions in the NBA is so ambiguous, you don't really need to fall into a preset definition to be successful. As a 6th man he can be your primary offensive option on the 2nd unit. He's going up against other bench players a lot of the time. Guys like Donyell Marshall, Chris Gatling, Rodney Rogers made a great living being ambiguous 3/4 combo forwards and sparks off the bench. Lamar Odom works a lot better off the bench too. I mean where's he's going to play on Miami as a starter? If he's a 4 he'll get murdered on the glass and Bosh want a legit defensive partner down there.

MJ is secretly enabling Lebron to Miami because he's afraid James will overshadow his accomplishments in Chicago.
-
I'd already forgotten about that. In fact, until I caught it briefly on SportsCenter yesterday, I'd forgotten that the Broncos drafted Timmy Boy.

The Vest.

It's going to get huge ratings considering it's been only a few days in the making and it's a essentially a glorified press conference.
-
I was with the Simmons column until he actually suggested that a Miami super team wouldn't win 50 games. Come on now. That line about looking up in the rafters and being inspired by Rony Seiklay's jersey was great though.
-
Every team in the league is gonna kill themselves to win when they play Miami. I think that Bulls team in 96 kinda snuck up on people at first because of the way the previous season ended and no one was certain how MJ would come back or Rodman would fit in. If Lebron goes to Miami the country will be built up into a frenzy about how to beat them and how great beating them would be. No way I see them besting 72-10.
