Real Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 jadande RT @IraHeatBeat: So will Bosh and Wade pop out from behind curtains, in sort of This is Our Life ESPN special? Wade signs on ESPN2? 1 minute ago via UberTwitter haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Maybe ESPN asked him. Who knows? Wade and Bosh have been parading around in the media for days, I can give Lebron 1 hour if he gets down to business. It actually makes me glad because I dont have to read this thread or worry what is going on. Thursday night everything will happen. (imo) As for disrespectful, how would it be disrespectful if Lebron gave a speech about how Cleveland was his home and he loves it, but some times you have to move on? Itd be more respectful for him to just leave in the middle of the night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are nowhere near the team Cleveland even is honestly. And I don't buy the Knicks charging hard. That's just to get the NY ratings.

The Knicks wouldn't play any with Stoudemire and Gallinari in the starting lineup and Eddy Curry as the most viable option at center (by default), especially in D'Antoni's system.

lostfan Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:13 PM) Still a f***ing joke. Did MJ hold a 1-hour press conference to announce his comeback in '95? Man I wish Lebron was just simply a very, very good basketball player. I really can't stand him. Give me Kobe any f***ing day over this b****. MJ announced his return by fax and then let the sharks do their thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he's as good as Stoudemire - but it's not as far fetched as you think. Amare averaged 23 ppg last year on a team that had Steve Nash ag PG and lead the league in scoring with 110 points per game and. David Lee averaged 20 ppg on a team that had Chris Duhon at PG and averaged 102 per game. Frankly, I wouldn't mind if David Lee comes to Chicago. If there's any team in HISTORY that suffers from exaggerated numbers, its the Phoenix suns of the last 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like me some David Lee, but he isn't a good defender and with the new regime, it probably won't work. In Vinny's type of offense, he would've been nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBron's handled this process very well. Not sure why it's an hour long though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I mean, is ESPN making it an hour special or is lebron clearing an hour for his special. If dude declares at 950 pm i'll be pissed, but if it's just ESPN...dudes make 3 hours a day for skip bayless, this has way more substance than normal. That said...i'm resigned to our fate of boozer. As for someone saying what is the bulls problem in wooing free agents...I mean, it's just hard. In 2000, who the hell would have come here to play on that team? I mean, is there even a current NBA team as bad as that 2000 team? It's easier to keep a superstar than it is to recruit. Gasol-KG-Allen etc, these are the results of trades of a team blowing up and starting over. I don't know, I just don't think this has anything to do with the bulls, just circumstance. Rose is a great player and we were really lucky to get that #1 pick, but we'd be even more lucky if we didn't make that Jalen Rose trade and decided to really suck until 2003 so we could've gotten melo wade or bron. But instead we've just been pretty solid for the past 6 years, in the east. It's a terrible limbo that probably won't end soon unless we take advantage of a team managing poorly and needing to dump a star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
