KBerg_CBS: Source indicates there will be no decisions tonight from Wade or Bosh: "They're processing all of the info." #NBA 2 minutes ago via TweetDeck

RicBucher: If Wade isn't staying in Mia, someone needs to explain why. He bangs the drum for weeks for Pat, now he's going to Chi/NY? Makes 0 sense. 1 minute ago via web

jgoff670: If I didn't tell you what my people were telling me, then I would be doing a disservice. Chalk it up as just talk, no worries. 1 minute ago via Echofon

wow the game thread is only 2 pages....

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 09:02 PM) I think the fallback is Lee or Boozer, as well as some sort of 2 guard. That'd be really bad though. thats a 15th or 16th pick in the draft every year.....mediocrity sucks a**

KCJHoop: For those who ask for comment on other people's reporting, I won't reply. This is a big story, a hard job and we're all doing best we can.

the next few days are definitely going to be some tense hours for the bulls franchise

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 08:40 PM) I have a hard time believing Wade and LeBron would go back to their respective teams with no other FA haul than to partner together in Chicago with Rose and Noah. Seems like a ridiculous decision on their parts. the more i think about it the more i think we land wade because his family is here and we have the best possible scenerio for him....noah and rose

where the hell has bucher been at the last 24 hrs anyways?

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 08:39 PM) Rich Bucher sounds like he has no idea what he is talking about. Just like he has this entire last week when Woj or Chad Ford say something I'll listen. exactly....

i thought reports were if we wanted boozer he was ours for the taking.....boozer and wade?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 08:30 PM) Id be more scared if the guy was writing things that actually made sense. Empty crawl? Ear tickle? Who is writing this stuff lol And dont his last 2 statements seem to be in contradiction? i think he's trying to say that the only reason they were talking to wade was to get lebron to decide quickly and they have no real interest in him maybe? who knows...

i thought amare falling out of the miami picture was good for us

RicBucher: Several indications Amare has fallen out of Mia picture. Hard to believe, but Chi could be the team leaving the river w/an empty crawl now. ^^^^^what does this mean

RicBucher: Sources say Bulls went along w/the Wade ear tickle so they could tell LeBron they had Wade + ask today for an answer: You coming or not?

if your miami and you lose wade and only end up with lee your offseason was a failure

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 08:15 PM) Lebron staying in Cleveland doesn't mean he's screwed. They still are one of the best teams in the NBA as it stands. Cleveland isn't getting any younger....

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 08:14 PM) If I were Miami, I'd be happy with David Lee this year and Carmelo next year, along with a top 4 pick this year. if melo takes the deal Denver has out on the table for him then there goes that plan....

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) Bah...Miami isn't in the same "Screwed" shape that the Bulls are in if they don't land anyone. Miami can use their cap space this year to sign 1 year deal guys to fill out a roster and either trade them midseason to stockpile wanted pieces or to keep their cap space available for the future. The Bulls are screwed starting next year because they have to take a portion of their cap space and use it to extend Noah this summer and Rose next year (assuming a CBA comes about), so they can't hold on to their cap space. true but miami depleted their roster trying to get 3 max slots and i dont see a free agent market that will be like this years for awhile so even if they save their cap space for next yr they still wont be nearly as good if they struck the gold mine this yr

i have a feeling miami is going to be left a big goose egg....they focused too much on the other free agents and not enough on keeping wade IMO

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 07:56 PM) A LeBron/PF (Bosh, Boozer, Lee) is still a better to me. Plus, if the LeBron meeting went as well as it appears, then perhaps you get them to play against each other. in a perfect world lebron and anyone is better but if they have a feeling he's not coming and there are 2 commitments on the table for wade/bosh then you HAVE to do that it's not like they are chopped liver...they are the 2nd and 3rd best free agents out there

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 07:54 PM) f*** it...if we can get Bosh/Wade, you do it. We still walk away favorites if that happens. Please let it be true...please please please!!! exactly if he wants to stay with cleveland or go help new jersey rebuild be my guest it just shows his desire to win isnt as strong as everyone thought

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 07:47 PM) Wed have more money to spend with Lebron, and we wouldnt lose Deng so you'd have to factor that in too. But if Wade and Bosh want to commit you absolutely say yes and forget about Lebron. i consider deng being gone as a plus.... we are what 4 mill short of 2 max contracts....we deal deng get bosh in a sign and trade...what does this leave us with cap wise?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 07:37 PM) Rose-Wade-Bosh-Noah is a force! i honestly think we fare better with wade/bosh over just lebron
