    But he was born and raised there and while that might not be a factor with most people, it is with him. LeBron is a creature of habit and that habit is the city of Cleveland. Maybe he'll re-sign, maybe he won't, but those last days in Cleveland did not do any favors for Cavs on getting him to re-sign. Like most tho, I believe he had a foot out the door, and that Cleveland is no better at getting him then Chicago, Miami, or NY (I don't think NJ will be a factor). Is there any chance that LeBron takes less money so the Bulls or any other team can sign him and another top free agent? Part of the reason that LeBron and players like him can't win is that they take up too much salary. Is there a precedent for top free agents taking less money to get another player to sign with him?

    I'm a bit surprised at how the Bulls seem to have jumped in as LeBron's number one choice after Cleveland's loss for the national media. Commentators are saying what they would do if they were LeBron, but that really doesn't matter. I think LeBron is staying in Cleveland due to his loyalty to the city. Nevertheless, what will keep LeBron from coming to Chicago is not Jordan's legacy. Jordan doesn't live in the city anymore, doesn't really make appearances in Chicago, and owns a different NBA franchise. The Lakers had stars there, but that sure didn't keep Kobe from running. Did ARod not go to the Yankees because of Babe Ruth's legacy?

    Yep. Hendry knew about it and took Z out to Y Bar.

    You know you are old when...you are Jamie Moyer and you have been playing longer then the throwback uniform you are wearing tonight

    I didn't think the Bulls had much of a chance to land LeBron before the Boston series, but Chicago's chances had to increase in the last day or so. My Bulls dream offseason would be in order of importance: 1. LeBron 2. Calipari 3. Ray Allen Would this be a championship team? The low post threat would be pretty pitiful. Do the Bulls have enough money to get Allen? How much is left after LeBron? What would the Bulls do with Luol Deng if they landed LeBron? He would be quite the expensive backup 3. Don't you have a to trade contract for contact making it hard to trade Luol?

    Yeah! Crazy bastards! lol The same person who hacked Lindsay Lohan's Twitter account must have done the same to my NSSB account. I'm going to send Tim a PM on this.
  8. Wilson A2000
    Whoever thought this guy was polished enough to play one of the most important defensive positions on the field is crazy
  9. Wilson A2000
    The Hawks are glad they packed for San Jose now
  10. Wilson A2000
    I told you to get Castro's butt up here! Watch him got 0-20 next.
  11. Wilson A2000
    All Calipari would be in Chicago is a figurehead, just like Mike Brown is in Cleveland. We all know who coaches the Cavs and it ain't Brown. So why are people worrying about Calipari? All the offense would be is to run through LBJ first, Rose second, LBJ third, and Rose 4th. Doesn't take a genius to figure it out. We are worrying about Calipari because he might bring a star with him. I don't think anyone really wants him just for his X/O abilities. But remember Phil was not a figurehead. He helped incorporate the triangle. Stars don't absolutely dictate the type of play on the court. Coaches certainly influence.
  12. Wilson A2000
    Some of the hits Buff was laying near the goal and on the forecheck were ridiculous. Why was he ever on defense?
  13. Wilson A2000
    It would certainly lock in his reputation as the Nick Saban of college basketball. "He might be an idiot, but he's our idiot." Especially so if Calipari brings LeBron here and wins a championship(s).
  14. Wilson A2000
    This is actually pretty far from the truth. Cal runs a fairly complex dribble drive motion offense. No, he's right. Calipari is pretty much a strategical nitwit. Can he payoff LeBron under the table like he did with his college players? If so, bring him along. Listening to the radio today GarPax got ridiculed because they didn't say for sure that the coaching search would be completed by July 1. But what if they hire a coach that Bosh or Wade doesn't like? What if all other factors between teams are equal and the coach is the deciding factor? I too would want to keep my options open, but you still have to be careful that your top prioritized coach isn't snatched up before you can get him.
  15. Wilson A2000
    When was the last time you can think of an NBA team that you'd say won the title because of coaching? Even if you go back to the '80's, it was Boston and LA with a clear talent gap over the rest of the league winning the titles. The Bulls never won a title until Phil got there. L.A. never won with Shaq and Kobe until Phil got there. Both of those teams would have probably won titles anyway, but Phil's blend of being a good X/Os guy (triangle offense) and balancing egos sure didn't hurt.
  16. Wilson A2000
    He is right near the top of my list. The problem people might have with him is that he is a my way or the highway kind of coach. Similar to Skiles. Preaches defense. He style of coaching can wear people down though.
  17. Wilson A2000
    One more goal and Niemi needs to come out. He could use a period off physically and mentally. Huet could get some game time in case he is needed later.
  18. Wilson A2000
    Weren't the Hawks down big to Luongo last year and they scored a bunch of goals to make the game close? Was that game 1 also?
  19. Wilson A2000
    This is the game where we were too cocky. Then Monday we will be humbled and give a better effort Monday and win. Or something Maybe the Hawks were too cocky, but how can you be cocky when you narrowly missed going down 3 games to 2 against the Predators? They should respect Vancouver more than that.

    Then stop posting. Another way to put this; "yes my argument is ridiculous and based on nothing, so if you don't like that then don't respond." How many more years would you like before a championship is won? Tell the Twins how much one measley game means to a team the last two years. the twins didn't win a championship either. Getting in the playoffs by winning the one game playoff at least gave them a chance.
  21. Wilson A2000
    Well they are a borderline Wild Card team. Once you are in and have a good starting staff, anything can happen.
  22. Wilson A2000
    I'm impressed with Q's zoot suit
  23. Wilson A2000
    I thought it was very good quality. I can't believe that WGN HD was not on Direc TV until now. What was the holdup?
  24. Wilson A2000
    Yes, but the Nationals aren't close to winning a championship this year. The Cubs are which is why they need to do everything within their power to make their team better.

That has literally everything to do with Castro. Little things matter.
