  1. This confuses me. A little while ago he announces he will make his decision on his future on Thursday, yet this comes out where he is having a planned conference call with Bosh and Wade on Wednesday? Does James know where he is going or not? Assuming the report is true, LeBron is trying one last time to get Bosh.
  2. Nah....He's staying in Cleveland. No way he is going to have a one hour special with proceeds going to charity to announce he's breaking Cleveland's hearts. Yep. All but certain that he's staying.
  3. Really seems like both those dudes made their decisions within a few hours of each other. Considering how much we heard about Bosh wanting to play with LBJ, there's a good chance they've agreed to play somewhere together, right? I'm worried about the Miami thing happening again Well it sure doesn't sound like Bosh is going to Cleveland. I doubt Bosh would say its a great day because he is going to Cleveland when reports all day were that he didn't want to go there.
  4. Yep! One hour special on Thursday! 8c You mean 7ct. No he means 8 Central. 9 Eastern.
  5. You think Reddick can guard the 2s any better?
  6. On the one hand LeBron could justify last year's playoff flop because his elbow was injured. But I really didn't like the way they went out. I don't think LeBron did either. The team just seemed to give up. And LeBron hasn't given any signs himself that Cleveland is the frontrunner. Any chance Ray Allen leaves Boston? I doubt he will now that Rivers and Pierce are coming back.
  7. Once the dust settles, it is going to be interesting to see how many of these rumors and "sources say" bits are true.
  8. LeBron will never win in Cleveland alone. Big mistake. The Bulls are still in the running for Wade/Bosh. That Bulls team can win a championship.
  9. I think the possies are much bigger nowadays. If Reinsdorf keeps the biggest FA in the history of sports from signing with his team because he doesn't want to give LeBron's buddies special priviledges he is a stupid owner. And Reinsdorf is not a stupid man.
  10. The Bulls have done everything they could have to get a big name guy. If all they are left with is Boozer, I really can't be angry at Bulls management. The Raptors want Noah in a sign and trade. If Bosh wants to win, he will forget the sign and trade with Chicago and just take the regular max deal. He will weaken the team he is going to. Would Bosh get more per year if he worked out a sign and trade, or would he just get another year? If it is just another year, it's not like he isn't going to get another contract. He will get that money later. While the new CBA could lower his salary a bit in 5 years, it won't really be that much. I don't know why it has taken so long for Cleveland to be interested in a sign and trade for Bosh. This was dangerously late in the process. But even if Bosh and LeBron go there, he can't win a championship with all the weapons they might have to give up. If LeBron and Bosh want to win, go to Miami with Wade or come to Chicago.
  11. Yeah, that is pretty much guessing and not reporting. It's a really good guess. If that scenario happens, can the Bulls keep Hinrich?
  12. I don't know about that. The Cavs are designed to win 60 regular season games because they can ride LeBron, but when it comes to the playoffs they are not a great playoff team. They don't have enough secondary offensive weapons. Obviously LeBron in a best-case scenario wants to stay in Cleveland. LeBron might be telling himself that the Cavs did get him some help with Jamison, and if he hadn't had a bum elbow they could have won a championship this year and just might next year. That's the only real reason LeBron could justify staying there. there's about 30,000,000 other reasons why LeBron could justify staying there, too. But the two I gave are really the only important ones. What else besides the fact that Cleveland is home and he was injured in the playoffs would make him think they can win there? I guess a 6 year deal that only Cleveland can give since the Cavs don't want to sign and trade.

  14. If Goff is right, NY, NJ, and Miami are all screwed. I feel bad for them. Wait, no I don't. Can a team unofficially announce a deal now if they wanted to?
  15. http://twitter.com/jgoff670 He works for 670 the SCORE in Chicago. I don't think he has ever broken a basketball story, but he knows his basketball. I actually don't mind this at all. Lately I thought that LeBron was going back to Cleveland. This was the best the Bulls could do. LeBron is not winning a championship in Cleveland unless Chris Paul comes there.
  16. When the temperature at Wrigley is consistently 95, Lee, Ramirez, Z, and Castro will all be fine.
  17. wade is a spy You know what, that actually could be true. Nice catch. If he is, the Bulls aren't going to give him the info he desires. GarPax is not stupid, the though had to have crossed their minds. I hope it wasn't the thought Pax had when he was negotiating with Luol ("give him what he wants"). Imagine if Gordon had taken the Bulls original contract offer a few years back. Whew!
  18. Because he [expletive] knows how to manage.
  19. On the radio I heard that Pat siad this is the first time he has heard of a team batting around without a hit. Is that true?
  20. What GM gives a manager who never managed a 5 year contract? With that said, I heard Hinch is a hot commodity and didn't do a bad job with the talent he had.
  21. wade is a spy You know what, that actually could be true. Nice catch.
  22. Hearing rumors that once Lou is gone after this season, Joe Torre could be a nice fit. But the Cubs are going to stink next year so why would he want to get in that mess?
  23. Those guys would make minced meat of Dent at PW.
  24. is this a real thing? jesus christ I've never even heard of Amir Johnson.
  25. Image. Conquest. Tiger's all about the "Majors" and she's one. As an aside, I highly doubt she's getting 3/4 of a billion dollars. There's simply no way Tiger has that much cash. He may be worth 1 billion on paper, but most of it is probably tied up in stock options. He'd have to liquidate and go into bankruptcy to pay out that sort of dough. Why can't he just sell his stock?
