Considering the Raptors just said a sign & trade is highly unlikely today, it makes less sense.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 07:29 PM) However, let's give the other side of the coin too...Lebron's been using his clout to get a lot of people coming into Cleveland the last few years, big names, like Shaq, or Heywood, etc. and it hasn't gotten them anywhere. They've totally swung and missed on just about everything they've done, and it's left them with as weak of a roster as you can get; lots of highly paid old people. ??? I'm assuming this is meant to be Jamison?

Viciedo needs to be a little less aggressive in the future.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 07:24 PM) Hmmmmm. Perfect. The Bulls just got dealt the best hand possible.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 07:14 PM) Rangers uniforms look cool with the white and red Independence Day hat. They should consider using this uni combination on a semi-regular basis. I like it.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 07:12 PM) Lebron is great, but if you have Wade/Bosh ready to say yes, you give Lebron a courtesy call and unless he says "Im in" you move on and we watch Wade keep Lebron out of of the finals just like Jordan did to the Cavs. Itll burn Lebron when hes on the other side of those highlights, but he had a chance. Thats why you use Wade/Bosh against LeBron Call him up and say "Look, we have them committed. You either come here or don't sniff a trophy for a long time."

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.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 03:50 PM) @NYPost_Berman - As Amare' lands in NY a few minutes ago for Mnday's meeting, LeBron drives off in silver Audi, past 200 screaming fans. Not even a wave.

http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives...k_presentation/ Oh Knicks, silly silly Knicks. The fact that the Bulls meeting lasted 3 hours without any Sopranos or Family Guy bodes well in my mind.

Bulls should have brought Ozzie and offered him the RF spot to kill time until the NBA season starts.

3 hours is insane...how long was the Cavs cartoon marathon? Edit: Nevermind

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 02:57 PM) Pretty classless of them to lock them out...IMO I think it might have been to keep the mob of Cleveland fans out.

While the brass didn't look super happy,, they didn't look like their dreams were crushed either. Hell, Gar (I think it's him) is on the phone. JR just seems miffed at the cameras.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) This thread is like crack. I'm always checking it for new news. Steve is a prophet.

Wow, the shoes/rings/outline/newspaper is freaking genius. This is too crazy.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 01:00 AM) Thanks. Some guy put me on ignore. You didn't. The world is round. There are differing opinions out there even on message boards. I gotta say, I agree that you're different opinion is good for a board. That being said, I agree with both sides. I will never look on Crede, JD, and Pods with disgust because they gave me some of the best memories of my life, but they also all have major flaws in their game (sadly, Crede's was staying healthy)

I hate Kotsay a little less now.

With how Alexei's defense has improved, I'd be all for it. He could probably teach people how to bunt to. Plus, like LaRussa with McGwire, we could activate him if need be.

I honestly think that Cleveland having a crowd of fans will lessen their chances...it screams of NY trying to sell their city.

This team might have something in them.

So, does Okur start at center with Noah at power forward? This is insanity.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) Wojo from Yahoo is reporting that Wade is really intrigued by Chicago and possible partnership with Lebron in Chicago. Oh ****. Riley just s*** himself.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 04:10 PM) Wow. That is certainly a big deal. Who wants to start LeBron - Wade to Chicago rumor?

To put the Cavs in a baseball perspective, while every other team is swinging for the fences at 100 mph fastballs (the FA's), Cleveland is hoping that these Strasburg fastballs turn into a walk.
