PDcavsinsider Bulls meeting with LeBron now about 2 and a half hours long. meeting still going on then?

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) Wow, a heat writer finally acknowledging his interest in the Bulls is real... "At the end of the day, your decision goes on what's best for you and your family," he said. "I think that the organizations I've been brought in to meet with are all good organizations. And all can add something to my life, and not just basketball-wise. "I understand that if myself and another guy and we have some good players around, we'll be good. To me it's about what makes forty years of my life and not just about the next ten." That could tie Wade's decision to his family being based in Chicago, his hometown. "This is the place where my vision of becoming an NBA player came true," he said. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- that part of the article makes me believe he's leaning towards chicago

IraHeatBeat: Dwyane Wade is talking again, and he is sounding like a player truly conflicted with the Heat-or-Bulls decision. http://bit.ly/9YXyEa im glad he is truly considering the offer

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 12:33 PM) The score just reported that LBJ is going to address the crowd after he meets with the bulls, no word on what he is supposed to say. hmm i wonder why noone else is running with this...

does anyone know how the meeting with bosh went? i noticed he didnt mention it in his tweets

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 12:21 PM) None of the writers on Athomeboy's twitter list have mentioned this, I'm not sure . . . but I don't believe this. i agree i've been looking all over for this and the only thing i can find is cleveland telling the fans to come back when LB leaves....i havent seen anywhere on the web where it's talking about he's going to address the fans

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 12:06 PM) sounds like LeBron might announce he's staying in Cleveland to all of the fans around 4PM today, as being speculated on the radio. hopefully its to tell the fans of cleveland he's had a great time but i just agreed to terms with bulls management

IraHeatBeat: Spoke with an agent who is very tuned in. He laughed off Wade departure concerns. "It's all a smokescreen," the reputable agent said. at this point i dont believe anything miami beat writers are saying right now....seems to me they are grasping at straws

PDcavsinsider: There are hundreds of Cavs fans in downtown with team-provided signs lining street to meeting. Outside building fans chanting "Noah sucks" found this to be interesting haha

IraHeatBeat: Wade in his words: "It's going to take the weekend for everyone to think about what they want to do. This is not an easy decision to make."

about time this game is on i've been glued to the computer with all the bulls stuff going on....gives me a good little break

no news from bosh it's been what 3 and 1/2 hrs already

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 10:48 PM) I don't see why they just can't have a deal worked out with all three contingent upon what LeBron says tomorrow. bcuz dwade said he doesnt want to commit yet otherwise im sure they would do that

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 10:43 PM) That may be the case, but I don't understand their M.O. otherwise. They push Wade for a commitment tonight, while they already have a meeting scheduled with Bosh. Clearly the reason they want an answer tonight is because they want to bring something to LeBron tomorrow. So Wade says he can't commit yet, but they still are going to try and get Bosh to commit tonight, so they can bring this to LeBron tomorrow. I hope they aren't basing their decision on simply which player agrees tonight. Wade and Bosh share the same agent....if they don't offer bosh a contract and go into cleveland and can't scoop up lebron that may cause some animosity between the bulls and bosh....he can then tell dwade he wants to go to miami with him and boom we are stuck with nothing....i think they almost have to offer one to him tonight to play it safe if they can't land lebron tomorrow then u just go back to wade with bosh already committed

KBerg_CBS: High-powered agent: LeBron-Wade pairing unlikely. "It's a bunch of egomaniacs starved for attention." #NBA http://bit.ly/aECxMq

any news on the bosh interview? is it still going on right now? he hasn't tweeted anything so im assuming he is still in the meeting

im not going to get into all of this 3 max contract stuff....i think the most realistic idea is landing wade and bosh IMO

i think the bulls have to offer bosh a contract now....they did it for wade he said he can't commit right now so if they don't offer one to bosh and are banking on bringing in lebron and wade they potentially are screwing themselves over if lebron decides to stay in cleveland and then bosh is mad bcuz they didnt offer him a contract and wade and him run off to miami and then the bulls would be left with nothing.... if they go in to tomorrows meeting with bosh committed and they land lebron then you can tell wade that he was too late.... or if lebron stays in cleveland then you pursue wade some more without giving off any bad vibes to any of the players

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 09:22 PM) Something that was raised on the Score... would you be willing to deal Rose to get Wade, LJB and Bosh?? you would have to have those deals wrapped up in a bow in order for it to happen....

PDcavsinsider: Several execs I've talked to doubt Wade to Chicago noise. Most still say follow money, most money in Miami. i don't think money is an issue for wade...he has said over and over again that he wants to win and if the heat can't bring in some help he's gone

LeBatardShow: If you r ok with wade-lebron in adopted hometown don't you have to be ok with wade choosing it in actual hometown? Screw logic and fairness!

im confused now....

chris bosh: Chicago's next. This is the last of the day he texted this a minute ago.....hmm?

IraHeatBeat: For those who need to exhale, Wade's agent Henry Thomas just texted here and said "no signing imminent." This is just part of big picture
