QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 05:41 PM) Again, they could trade Rose at that point No, Rose can develop into a true PG, similar to Rondo. (except actually make a jump shot when counted on) I'm sure Rose would have no problem going 15/15 a night.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 05:37 PM) Will somebody explain to me how on earth Wade/Lebron/Rose would work together? No I know what your talking about. Not the PG/SF/SG answer, they would all have to do what Pierce/Garnett/Allen did with one basketball. Sacrifice individual success to win like Rose said.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 05:22 PM) chadfordinsider I've confirmed the Wade-Bulls meeting tonight. Source believes Wade is leaning toward joining Bulls ... Link coming oh snap! :o :o :o Can't........ jizz........ just....... yet.......

I still can't believe Jim Hendry still has a job. Won't complain about it though.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 04:05 PM) http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-w...bronbulls072010 I wonder if that Pietras + Gortat has legs... no wait.. they said "clear more cap space" no nevermind. And in that I noticed this... Now THIS is what I can easily see being done.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 03:58 PM) I can't tell you how dissapointed i am that Gay didn't go to Wolves. I really thought they'd have something good going with some Gay-Johnson-Love-Sessions. You and Heads are money today in this thread.

Sad thing is.. we still have to wait 6 days until s*** becomes official.

I can't see both guys playing on the same team. No way... I'll play along with this, but I won't get my hopes up.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 03:50 PM) except it's comparing slot to slot, at this point Miami can't do a ton more to convince LBJ to sign quicker, especially since it sounds like the Bosh/Wade/LBJ thing in Miami seems highly unlikely know and I don't think signing Boozer would speed it up. I'm sure Wade will be perfectly fine of Bosh goes there instead. I can't all 3 going there however.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) Wojo from Yahoo is reporting that Wade is really intrigued by Chicago and possible partnership with Lebron in Chicago. There is also a report from Wallace saying Wade is using us as leverage with the second meeting to get Miami to sign LeBron soon.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 04:42 PM) Links to come But... Chris Sale is scheduled to make his professional debut for Class-A Winston-Salem against Potomac Friday night. :headbang :headbang

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 03:42 PM) l2ms = lebron 2 miami soon You are amazing Alex.

With the big deal about loyalty, I'm not even talking about the Bulls... I can't see LeBron bolting to another team BEFORE meeting with Cleveland, even if its for the final time. QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 03:36 PM) dwadeofficial: Imma start a website called What little do they know.com..l2ms hmm i wonder what he is meaning by this You can speculate that in a 1,000 ways.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 04:22 PM) Just saw these comments from fans on Chicago Breaking Sports. I have no idea whether this is just typical fan bs or whether there is something going on. Jeff on July 2, 2010 4:15 PM He is going to the Heat. 3 year deal for the max salary each year. Details will start trickling out any time now, but this is a done deal. Craig on July 2, 2010 4:13 PM I'm not sure if it's official but it sure sounds like it's close on LBJ going to the Heat. If so, this is a major miscalculation by the Bulls thinking he was waiting until Saturday just to go through the motions with the other teams. BigD on July 2, 2010 4:01 PM I just heard on the radio that James is going to Miami, no contract details yet but they think it's just 3 years. Will Montana on July 2, 2010 3:57 PM ESPN is reporting that James is signing with the Heat,they say it's a done deal pending physical....... I wonder if Wade would bolt to his hometown then... LeBron will be the man for Miami and he'll get Bosh. (Wade and Boozer here) This will suck more-so for Cleveland though. Alright let me stop with the thinking and all the bulls*** until stuff becomes final. If LeBron really does go to Miami, someone look out for Steve on suicide watch BTW... and internal RIPPING from soxtalk.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 04:19 PM) I hope Wade isn't just f***ing with us more to foil our plans... Well LeBron won't meet with us till tomorrow anyways, but ya some sources say that he is just trying to give out false hope to teams. There was another report though from a FA camp (can't remember) that they want Wade to actually commit to Miami and stop doing interviews if he is serious about staying. I'll say this though, we are the only team he will meet one than once to interview, hometown or not.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 04:06 PM) I hate Boozer's game, so hopefully he's not the big acquisition. I actually prefer David Lee to Boozer in all honesty (Thibo will improve his defense not to mention guarding 4s instead of 5s will help) but I don't mind Boozer. Love D-Will, but alot of his assist were from simple P&R with Boozer going to the basket, getting and-1s most of the time too with his strength. QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 04:14 PM) They can't afford everyone. I would think (or hope) Boozer isn't getting a max contract.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 04:08 PM) WOW!! @IraHeatBeat - Potentially staggering news, Dwyane Wade is poised to meet again tonight with the Bulls, likely in the presence of his agent.

L/R. Blame Griffey Jr. for me batting left-handed, though I've always felt comfortable there and I do write with my left-hand.

Rios.

Pierre.

Beckham.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 10:14 PM) Yep, and I remember having to apologize to jphat after the home run for bashing Pods...that of course was jphat was the biggest homer in the history of sports. Amazing what a 180 turn he's made from 4-5 years ago. It is the equivalent to Greg hating every 05' Sox player, years later or J4L liking wite.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 10:11 PM) I don't like the gameday links either. If I do that, it's only because it's the only thing available at the time. QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 10:12 PM) Same here. I always go for the box if it's available, but like you say, gameday is often up first. Good... I still love both of you then.

Man seriously there are some f***ed up people out there. Been pissed off for the last two days, but today takes the cake when I found out the details. One of my closest friends (known since I was 11) just got back from the Army about 2 weeks ago after bring out there for about a year and a half or so. So naturally he's been going out pretty much everyday with us, family, etc.. Couple days ago, he was out with his cousin at a bar (on the north-side I believe), and these 2 guys started to hit on his cousin. She said no, and was not interested. They kept going at it, again... no. Then, they started to get physical with her cause she wasn't interested. Well, my buddy is not a fighter and hates confrontation (despite being 6-4, 260) but he had to step in with what these jack asses were doing to her. Bar-tender kicked them all out.. no problem, so the guy challenges my boy to a fight. He said alright lets settle this like men even though he didn't want to, but probably could never forgive what that dick did to his cousin (which I won't say). The second guy (his friend) wound up sneaking around through the back, turns his truck on and ran my friend over, basically blind-sided him. Then, put the truck in reverse and ran him over again. Now here is my friend due back (or WAS due back) in the Army (and I believe in Iraq) in 2 weeks, is now having his second major surgery (the third, I believe, is scheduled for Saturday) to pair a shattered pelvis, 7 bones crushed in different spots in his left leg, broken knee-cap in his right leg, torn rotator in his left shoulder and broken bones in his left arm, and his face on the left side is supposedly (horrible looking) with the loose skin burned from the concrete/tires. I won't see him till Saturday, but I was incredibly pissed to hear this news today. Thank god I just heard a couple of hours ago, the police did in fact catch the two f***ers who did this and currently are locked up. No that won't bring back his pelvis, left-leg, etc.. but I hope those scumbags spend a long time in prison. I'm just glad he will probably walk again (even if it won't be 100% again), despite nearly having his spine crushed and better yet.. still ALIVE. Very emotional day.

Where the f*** have you been Du?!
