QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 10:16 PM) Simmons is amazing. His Book of Basketball is a must read. I enjoyed it soooo much. I thought you were leaving this thread until Lebron signs

I've began to love Bill Simmons the past year or so and its funny because I hate Boston sports.

This with all the Lebron rumors is making me head explode

If that is not tampering by Pat Riley I do not know what is. Also I thought according to Wade Miami was loyal, they seem to have no problem firing good young coaches everytime Pat Riley has the itch to coach.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 03:00 AM) :ph34r: I take this as a sign that Lebron will be in Chicago next year and nothing more.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:26 AM) Well let's not go that far. Lebron would be the best player. But not by much. I'm a lot more worried about Lebron staying in Cleveland than going to Miami. Wade owns that city theres no way Lebron is top dog there. He may be the best but Wade will always be the most loved.

After thinking more about it I just still continue to think that there is absolutely no way Lebron goes to Miami and plays second fiddle to Wade.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 12:29 AM) He doesn't give two s***s about the NBA. He's looking out for himself. Not Necessarily, the bigger the NBA is the Bigger Lebron is.

Well if all 3 go to Miami then it wont matter who we get and I wont care because the NBA will be dead to me for the next 5-10 years.

My sources tell me that Lebron and Bosh are going to join the TuneSquad because they feel teaming up with Michael is the best chance to win a ring.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 04:15 PM) All of this makes me too nervous. I just wish I could know now how it will all shake out. Of course I have a test today, and my final for a class on wednesday and following all this is making it way to hard to study.

After reading some of the realGM forums I think its really funny how quickly Bulls fans dismiss articles like last nights that said lebron and bosh to chicago is a done deal, and how quickly they accept as fact the words of steven a smith.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 02:04 PM) I know that was the situation when Lebron was going to actually travel to the cities, is that still the plan that everyone is going to Akron, also it sounds like Lebron won't talk to people until the Akron meetings, so it makes sense to use the time between that to recruit another top guy. How does the luxury tax work? Do the Bird Rights guys fall under that? Because technically they could sign him for what they want but it's not like he is going to take a discount deal to stay, so they may be able to do it with the cap but be so crazily over the luxury tax that it is too big of a hit. No that's the deal right now, the bulls are the last team to meet with him and that what they wanted. I can't find where I read it because it was randomly in one of the million articles on espn.com.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 12:08 PM) It was on ESPN somewhere. That is there tentative plan. Don't have the link, but I read it somewhere. Supposed to be shortly after midnight. Not sure if we will be the first team or not. I read that as well. The Bulls will also be the last team to meet with James and that is what they wanted.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 11:39 AM) My cousin and I noticed that the Cubs had "20,000" on their sleeves, but we didn't know what it meant. We asked a friend of ours who's a Cubs fan and apparently it's because they're the first team to play 20,000 games. How sad is it that that's the one thing they're proud of at this point? I know we all hate the Cubs and mock them whenever possible, but it really can't be emphasized enough how pathetic that franchise is. I do not see anything wrong with wearing a 20k path on your arm during your 20,000 game. QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 12:10 PM) Yeah but Fox showed the Cubs alltime Win-Loss record, and the totaled something like 19,870. I was slightly confused. Ties

Not one post on how mature Lebron is for staying in Akron and not going on some huge tour. But there'd be a ton about how much of an ego he has if he turned this into a country wide tour. I don't think that the location is as much of a deal for Lebron. South Beach is great, but Lebron could live anywhere in the world right now and he chooses to live in Akron. Which I guess is more of an edge for staying in Cleveland, but at least it's not all about the beach and warm weather for Lebron.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 12:36 PM) We all know TRU wears daisy dukes, bikini on top. I've been waiting since this thread was made for someone to do this. Gym shorts and tshirt for me. Cargos and a nicer tshirt if I want to look nicer, and I always wear gym shows never flip flops unless I'm swimming or going to the beach.

I'm pretty sure I remember Jon Greenburg ripping the BP Cup when it was announced so it definitely sarcasm.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 08:24 AM) Yeah that picture is pretty incredible. What are the odds that two separate bolts hit so close at the exact same time like that? http://vimeo.com/12816548 Video of the Sears, Trump, and John Hancock being struck at the exact same time.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 10:29 AM) It's done. World Wide Wes isn't going to stake his reputation on nothing. The Bulls had LeBron in the bag the day they signed up Thibodeau. Now all that's left is the formality of signing the two of them come July 8th and laughing during the July 9 presser. Holy f***. It's happening. I'm just like you in thinking that the deal is basically almost done.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 01:38 AM) What kinda s*** is that? That's like me thinking about a 3-some with Ugly Betty and Sophia Bush because they happen to be in the same state. It's just a tease and torture unless it actually happens. Yep, I've been doing it for the past month or two now. I've basically 100% convinced myself its going to happen. I will be absolutely devastated if we do not get at least one of them. But its a lot better then making everyone of my post were going to strike out and expecting it everyday. Edit: I'm just a positive person, and would rather be positive then negative on any subject.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 01:08 AM) Eh it's not like the actual season when your team is on a winning streak and you can actually enjoy the moment. There's really nothing to enjoy, it's all speculation and waiting and I just want these next few weeks to come and go so we can get on with this. Yes but thinking about Lebron, Bosh, and Rose on the same team is a lot more fun then expecting us to strike out.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 10:50 PM) I think all the Bulls previous Free Agency failures have made me weary. When we signed Ben Wallace, I thought we were on our way. Obviously that is not even in the same galaxy as signing Lebron. But what if we strike out? What if we end up with David Lee or something? Stop being so negative and just enjoy the ride, until they actually strike out

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 07:15 PM) Can't believe Osiris Eldridge hasn't been drafted yet. I laughed.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 05:17 PM) Did you accidentally sign into a fake-but-real-looking Facebook site somehow? Like you clicked something and it told you that you had to sign in again? I can't remember the last time i actually logged into my facebook with chrome saving the password and cookies so I don't think it was that.
