Wade and Bosh just said they'd take less money to get Lebron in Miami. But if we get Boozer we're still in good shape!!!

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 12:27 PM) Well that would be impossible since they can't sign 2 maxes for sure, so maybe they would actually want to have him before they ship off pieces to clear the final cap space.. It's not like locking up Boozer now or Saturday makes any difference Thank you John Paxson for the Luol Deng extension!

QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 12:27 PM) You're crazy.. It took game 7 for the Lakers to beat this Celtics team with Ray Allen no showing half the series and an over the hill KG.. and you think they would beat Wade/LeBron/Bosh? Theres no way, it doesnt matter who the other two starters are on that team.. they would be trampling people.. lol. Look at that s***ty Heat team that won the title in 2006. And we're supposed to believe Lebron/Wade/Bosh would struggle? LMAO.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 12:23 PM) Heck ya he is. Dude might be a doucher but unfortunately it's impossible to argue how damn good he is. This board is ridiculous. If we had gotten Bosh he'd be a top 5 player. Now he's not even a top 10. Don't be mad at Bosh because our team is s*** and will always be s***.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 12:21 PM) the bulls aren't saying anything because they have NOTHING to say.....we gambled and lost....simple as that Pretty much. I'm really starting to believe in the "Curse of MJ."

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 12:19 PM) What will be funny is when the Wade, Lebron, Bosh team doesnt win any Championships. They may all be great, but its not the best line up construction. Lebron/Wade should be looking for a team with a great pg and a great defensive center. I also wonder how they are going to find enough shots to appease them all. The Bulls were the perfect situation, whatever they did/didnt do, cost them. lmao. dude, if Lebron goes to Miami it's a wrap. The Bulls failed miserably. This organization is a complete mess right now.

Y'all are seriously overrating Carlos Boozer.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 11:46 AM) I'm still not convinced they are completely dead on LeBron yet, even though it feels like they are and I obviously reacted like I think they are. If logic matters here, they still have a shot. Then again, it seems logic may not matter in this case with the way things have played out. Denial is a terrible thing. WE ARE NOT GETTING LEBRON! It's 41-41 for the Bulls for the next 5 years.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 11:42 AM) They'll get behind the Heat now though, just like they did when they won the championship a few years back, call it bandwagon fans or whatever. But clearly Bosh didn't pick Miami over Chicago because Chicago had the better roster or it's a bigger "sports town". The lifestyle, warmer weather, no state income tax, and the chance to play with 2 other max FA's potentially sealed the deal. Oh I agree with that. The Chicago Bulls haven't been relevant since 1998. I'm just saying Miami is a horrible sports town.

The Heat now have two of the top 10 players in basketball on the same team. There's no way to spin that into a negative. They'll fill out the roster and are now the prohibitive favorites in the east.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 11:37 AM) How so. Because the United Center can fit more people in its building than the American Airlines Arena? Dude, outside of college football, Miami is a horrible sports town. This has been fact for years.

Well, Wade and Bosh is going to be deadly. At least Lebron ain't gettin' no help.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 11:31 AM) Welcome to every professional sport but football. And baseball and even hockey. The NBA is the only sport where you can pretty much predict what's going to happen before it actually happens.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:16 PM) I bet he will. This is all an act so he can do the college recruiting thing he never got the chance to originally. And he was brilliant to make the proceeds go to charity since that means most won't rip on him. Well I will, he's still a dick, and when he picks the Cavaliers hat, i'll say it even moreso. Like I said, I would be content if he chose Cleveland. But this is just beyond ridiculous and pretty f***ing tacky. I'd rather Kobe and the Lakers win the next 5 titles than this clown sniff one.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:10 PM) Proceeds going to charity? Ok, I'm down. Still a f***ing joke. Did MJ hold a 1-hour press conference to announce his comeback in '95? Man I wish Lebron was just simply a very, very good basketball player. I really can't stand him. Give me Kobe any f***ing day over this b****.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:07 PM) This is pretty f***ing nuts that the guy gets a special to announce his decision. I can't believe that Stern/NBA are ok with that. I wonder if they're going to be multiple hats in front of him (ala when a top HS recruit chooses a college)? That would be the final straw for me. Either way, Lebron is going to be one hated mofo when this is all said and done.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:05 PM) Can he really hold a 1 hour long ESPN special/press conference and return to Cleveland? Yes, he can. That's who Lebron is. I deleted the post I had just made. I can't see him figuratively s***ting in the faces of Cleveland like that. He's staying with the Cavs.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) Well that's the rules, trades can't be officially announced until Thursday I have a feeling we'll know what his decision was tomorrow or tomorrow night My heart is pounding. I really can't take this. The next 46 hours will be hell.

Just reported on ESPN news that Lebron will announce his decision Thursday at 8 ET. Make that 9 ET.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 08:30 PM) sportsguy33 7/6 random guess: Deng to Clips, Ja. Johnson/picks/cash to TOR, Bosh sign/trade to CHI (Wade & LBJ joining). What the hell, let's think big. 7 minutes ago via UberTwitter lmao Would've been funny a week ago. Just lame now.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 07:56 PM) The thing with whiffing is what can you do? Say LBJ and Wade both return to their teams, and Bosh follows Wade (A. because him and Wade are lovers, and B. because he wants the extra year and Toronto won't S&T with us), then what could the Bulls really do in that situation? You're right. I'm just saying. This would be the second time in a decade that this has happened. It's one thing if we were the Kansas City Bulls. But whatever. I know this much. This franchise is going to have to build through the draft and hopefully strike gold in a trade or two. I don't ever want to go through this crap again with free agency. f*** free agency for eternity.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 07:46 PM) I agree completely. I honestly can't even get mad at management in any way, what more could you possibly ask from them? Nothing. I just don't even know what to say at this point. I'm so f***ing tired of all of this bulls*** that I just want it to go away. I don't want to sit on twitter and realgm and blogabull and read every little snippet about all of these guys. If we strike out, I will have a hard time understanding why. I don't know why Lebron would resign in Cleveland, I understand the home/loyalty angle but c'mon Bron, you aren't winning s*** there. I know. And the extra year and 30 million is not even that big a deal in this case. As Lebron could be Jordan-like as far as off the court income in Chicago compared to Cleveland. But I always said that I won't get on Lebron if he ultimately decides his heart is in Cleveland and he wants to stay. But to completely whiff? That would be an utter embarrassment.

Did somebody put a voodoo hex on the Red Sox or what? Kevin Youkilis had to leave the game in the 4th inning due to some freak calf or ankle injury while he was in the batters box. Looked pretty bad.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 07:35 PM) Boston and Atlanta would be highly debatable, but this is all pointless until it's over, guess I'll continue slitting my wrists at the thought of missing out on Wade/LBJ/Bosh. Thing is I'm not even mad at management. From everything I've seen/read they've done their part. Chicago just is not the sexy destination that you would think it would be. The MJ factor hasn't meant a damn thing as far as attracting marquee free agents (Ben Wallace doesn't count). Maybe we don't have enough history. We weren't s*** before MJ and haven't been s*** since. Maybe guys aren't sold on Chicago to produce a winner.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 07:31 PM) Phil gets his 4th 3 peat. So it wont matter what happens in the East. I mentioned earlier that the Lakers and their fans are loving this right now.
