Thank you, Jon Garland!

They sure don't sound too concerned about us getting LeBron and kicking their asses for the next 5 years...

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 05:05 PM) At this point, yes. I'm the biggest Beckham fan on this planet outside of his family and his wife Victoria, but he's been a complete disaster this season. I just caught this...well played, Mauer

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:29 PM) I am probably in the minority here but I don't think this loss is a big deal. The guy hasn't pitched consistently all season. Sure he has been hot lately but he gave us a lot of bad starts too. I think he is fairly replaceable and we have the weapons to do it. Losing him and gaining a bat is still a big win. I feel pretty much the same way. It might even save Kenny from himself and prevent him from trading Hudson away. I just shudder at the wasted $...

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 06:48 PM) Is it bad I'm really rooting for him to go to New York if he doesn't come here? No. It would be bad if you rooted for him to go to Miami...

I dunno...I'm a bit concerned with him being out to dinner with Stoudamire and Houston tonight...

My one question is why would Bosh commit to Wade and Miami this early unless LeBron has told him he is staying in Cleveland?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 06:03 PM) Was it changed recently? An address for some kind of agency which may be connected with him has changed. It probably means very little.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) Hell no. What have you seen out of him for the last 25 starts which would indicate anything different?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 06:00 PM) So what the deal with that change of address to Chicago? No one really has any clue if that means anything or not.

Melo getting married in NY is supposedly the reason LeBron is holding the thing near NY tomorrow, according to ESPN.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) Why would he leave Cleveland? He can make more money there and it'd be dumb to leave. I assume he approves of the new coach. It's Cleveland. He didn't even speak to his new coach today at his camp. Scott showed up to watch him play, and LeBron didn't even speak to him.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:50 PM) He gained legitimacy with me for landing the Boozer news. Well, he was saying Miami for Bosh and Wade all along too. He knows his stuff. As does Broussard. As does Ford. But they all made asses of themselves trying to cover this story.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:49 PM) Bucher has been all over the place! I would imagine the 6% is based only on speculation, the government would and has nailed people if there's insider stuff going on. Oh no, of course. I didn't mean to imply anything illegal was going on.

Our boy Bucher saying Cleveland or Chicago again. This is ridiculous. Shares of MSG went up 6% today.

Let's face it, winning titles in NY is the #1 legacy builder for any sports professional. Let's just hope he sees it as much more realistic to win them in Chitown.

The Knicks are claiming they have no idea what LeBron is doing, and that his camp is telling them nothing, according to Rachel Nichols. George Smith is claiming Boozer will attempt to recruit LeBron.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 04:18 PM) I think the bigger story is why is ESPN getting this? You want to know why (and this is my pure speculation) because ESPN agreed to cover up the whole Delonte West sleeping with his mom story. Lebron begged and pleaded to keep it hush hush. If anyone listens to Colin Cowherd you'd know that he's been harping on the fact that he has been told by ESPN that he can't report it, but he just tells his audience to google it and that he's confirmed its legit. I agree, but where else would he do it? Cbs?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 04:14 PM) It could be something. I mean, you don't just change your paperwork. What all it truly means, I'm not so sure because I really don't know what he did. I assume he is changing his mailing address to a new location, but it claims it is an agency anyway so maybe he just changed agency that manage something for him? No idea. I think it could also be done purposefully to try and drum up enthusiasm for this damn show tomorrow night.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 04:12 PM) if the bulls didnt go to Lebron and say that him winning 7 championships would make people in Chicago say, Jordan who, then they are far worse than I could have possibly imagined. I mean thats just common sense. You tell the new guy he is the best thing ever, even if you dont believe it. Well, again, and this is just what Broussard seems to think, but he thinks LeBron would love all the Jordan comparisons...says he worships MJ...I can't imagine LeBron didn't love that stuff...

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:09 PM) Broussard was all over the Bosh to Miami stuff. He was all over the James to report on ESPN stuff. He's been pretty legit. He knows a lot, but he just is very loose with it. He said from what he was hearing his gut told him Miami was the favorite but that could change in an hour. He never said anything was a done deal. He still believes Miami is the favorite.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 04:07 PM) Broussard is a f***ing tool. This morning he said Miami, all Miami. Then he said maybe Miami and Cleveland. Then he said Miami Cleveland and NY. In other words, his sources are full of s***, or being the "expert" of NBA FA over at s***ty ESPN, he's just gaining viewers. He is the guy who broke the Wade and Bosh story this morning though.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:02 PM) Interesting. That isn't good. I was wondering why we hadn't heard anything and that could be a legitimate reason of why we hadn't heard it. Why would they ever admit that they just flat stunk. It would be interesting though, given how good they were when they tried to sell Kobe a couple years ago. And Jerry has to be a good seller, unless of course he wasn't all that interested or somehow was turned off. Broussard just said on ESPN he thinks the Bulls are still alive.

I'm so f***ing confused.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 03:42 PM) Can Avery Johnson read an introduction? There is an amazing book called "Game Change" written about the 2008 Presidential election....I'm hoping someone will put it together something like that...
