QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 08:15 AM) I just don't see how a 34-year-old breaking down Gasol really helps this team get over the hump. We have Noah/Taj/Mirotic (supposedly). We remain to have little wing scoring and no one who can handle the basketball outside of Rose. If we have to get by LBJ, we will run into the same issue that when he guards Rose, our offense just can't score. I like Gasol as a player, but I just have to question whether this was a bigger need than a couple of wing players. I'm afraid to see how much we're paying him

K.C. Johnson ‏@KCJHoop As Bulls work to finalize deal w/ Gasol, can't fully know if Melo is done. Gasol on MLE and Melo S&T does work but longshot. Closure today?

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 01:17 AM) Frank isola saying this means melo to NY.... ESPNSteinLine Marc Stein Sensing Bulls increasingly focused on trying to complete acquisition of Pau Gasol ... since pulling off their Melo dream is proving so hard Pau consolation prize in Melo sweepstakes

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 01:57 PM) K.C. Johnson ‏@KCJHoop 37s If Lakers acquire Lin and first-round pick from Rockets, that hurts Bulls' chances at shedding Boozer in S&T for Gasol. Assuming no Melo. Jeff Goodman ‏@GoodmanESPN 22s Rockets have dealt Jeremy Lin and a future first-rounder to Lakers, sources told ESPN. Houston clearing space to land Bosh, keep Parsons.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 12:55 PM) I don't know if the absurdity of the LBJ situation has clouded my judgment, but my gut is telling me Melo to Chi-town for the first time in this process. It's not a Colbert-esque gut feeling, but there's a tingle alright Well with Miami dead. Chicago would be a pretty nice option now.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 12:11 PM) I just want to thank the Spurs for beating the crap out of Miami in the Finals. Without that performance, there's no way LeBron would leave Miami. Seriously.

Marc J. Spears - In regards to a decision for Knicks free agent forward Carmelo Anthony, a source said: "It's coming... Not today."

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 12:01 PM) Love that people are praising Lebron for doing the "right" thing, despite the fact that he allowed his "friends" to opt out of a s***load of guaranteed money. Bosh is still going to get his, but Wade and Haslem just got royally f***ed. I bet Riley has their back. That's the only explanation.

Micky Arison @MickyArison · 25m I am shocked & disappointed in today's news. However I will never forget what Lebron brought us for 4 years. Thanks for memories @KingJames

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 08:49 AM) LeBron came back to Miami last night and Wade was there to greet him at the airport. http://t.co/qzXkyWxdGP they flew home together from Vegas

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 08:11 AM) Sheridan could very well be right, but at this point everythign is speculation and for him to say that about Broussard it is just setting himself up for a large amount of egg on his face if Lebron goes back to Miami Sheridan is the guy who didn't vote Lebron All NBA first team... LOLOL

I can't believe this still isn't over.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 11:01 AM) Bron Bron is going back to Brazil Saturday so hopefully the rest of free agency can start tonight or tomorrow then. Saturday by the latest it has already dragged out too long

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 10:28 AM) SAS is a better source than Isola and the NY Daily News but that's not saying much. It's annoying no one is working on this case it the deuxcision going on. The caveat was at the end he said he still thought Melo would stay in NY... I was surprised how adamant he was about Lebron going to Cleveland though. He said the meeting with Riley was to let him know he was out of there.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 11:09 PM) sheridanhoops: LeBron-to-Cavs news will eventually post on http://t.co/UWcnreYIe0. Nat'l media being fed misinformation. I stand by my source & story 100%. Sheridan said his sources say there’s a “90 percent” chance of James going back to the Cavaliers SO WAIT NOW HE'S 100% SURE? LOLZ I still don't buy that all these guys opted out of their contracts simply with the hopes that Lebron would come back. David Aldridge @daldridgetnt · 3h Told strongly that Chris Bosh hasn't made any contingency decision w/Rockets, & "whatever is being reported in that regard is simply false.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 03:05 PM) Funny how Frank Isola's pro-bulls possibility articles have been linked up like gospel but as soon as he gets a source, and woj retweet, he's discredited. ya I don't see why you wouldn't trust Isola.. he's no Broussard or Bucher TEH DREAM IS DEAD

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA · 2m LeBron James and agent meeting w/ Heat will include Pat Riley and assistant GM Andy Ellsburg, the salary cap expert, source tells Yahoo. Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA · 22s Miami isn't treating today like some kind of Armageddon w/ James, just normal planning meeting to show financial way team's back together.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 01:30 PM) Its so funny to see trades from both sides. On here we think its a no brainer to deal Wiggins for Love, Cleveland fans think they can throw scraps and get Love with no issues. "The Cavs expressed to Paul that, after their discussions with the Timberwolves, doing a deal "would not be easy," according to one source. That source also expressed that the Cavs were reluctant to include No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew Wiggins in any potential deal." http://msn.foxsports.com/ohio/story/source...erwolves-070914 ya gl with that
