July 6, 201015 yr http://twitter.com/chrisbosh/status/17902174618 Twitter makes me want to kill myself.
July 6, 201015 yr With the rumor that Lebron is going to sign a 2 or 3 year deal and the difference between what Cleveland can give him in those 2 or 3 years is not $30 million but pretty slight relatively speaking, something like less than $5 million, what is the fewest amount of years a team can give these FAs to where they have the full advantage of re-signing them when the contract expires? Couldn't JR give these guys max contracts with a 3 year out and a wink wink agreement he will give them the full boat then? Then they come out ahead.
July 6, 201015 yr Problem is the new CBA may drastically reduce salaries. Lebron 3 year deal would have to be a 6 year deal with opt out.
July 6, 201015 yr So here's how I'm putting this together. Lebron wants to stay in Cleveland, but he doesn't want to go back with the same roster. Cleveland doesn't have any money and few valuable trade pieces. Bosh is certainly out of Toronto, but Toronto can't come to an agreement with CLE, CHI, or MIA. He's basically only attainable in a sign and trade. Wade is essentially waiting on what Bosh and Lebron do. If Bosh or Lebron don't go to Miami, Wade is gone. The Bulls are probably waiting on Lebron instead of going all out for the Bosh/Wade duo, They probably have a deal on the table moving Deng but won't pill the trigger before they get a commit.

July 6, 201015 yr Chris Bosh tweeting it is a GREAT day either means he's on the verge of something OR he's just being an attention whore.
July 6, 201015 yr Chris Bosh chrisbosh Today is a GREAT day! 8 minutes ago via UberTwitter ...............
July 6, 201015 yr QUOTE (Real @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 05:48 PM) RicBucher Not sure where the idea Tor won't S&T w/Mia came from, but it's not true. Calderon/Bosh for Chalmers, 2 future 1sts + trade exception: done. less than a minute ago via web The Bulls can offer something better...
July 6, 201015 yr f***in a, I just want some announcements already. The anticipation is just frustrating.
July 6, 201015 yr Would Toronto take Pryzbilla, Bayless, Gibson, and Charlotte's #1 easier than Deng, Gibson, Char #1?
July 6, 201015 yr Author QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 06:11 PM) http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap/ They took Bucher's tweet as the real deal...
July 6, 201015 yr Author Bucher posted that s*** 26 minutes ago, I'd think if it was legit it'd be elsewhere?
July 6, 201015 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 06:01 PM) The Bulls can offer something better... The problem is that if the Bulls sign and trade for Bosh, and then want to bring in Wade... that Wade would have to come in at less years and money... unless we do a sign and trade for him too... which Miami will not do. So... basically if Miami can execute a sign and trade for Bosh, both he and Wade can be 'happy' with max deals. So, it's beginning to look like we could get aced out.
July 6, 201015 yr Author @Ryan_Jody is the trade a done deal? Not done. If it was, I'd be writing it for espn.com. I was giving an example of what Tor wd/cd do. Bucher posted this, btw. He's an idiot, and no, it's not a done deal. Edited July 6, 201015 yr by Steve9347
July 6, 201015 yr Bucher's post was a theoretical. As in, if Miami offered it would be done. Horrible phrasing, although I think he is just trying to get views. In which case misleading is the key.
July 6, 201015 yr f*** this twitter s***, nobody knows anything, i'm sticking to my own guns on this one lebron stays in cleveland, bosh goes to houston, wade either stays in miami or comes to chicago
July 6, 201015 yr Author I could have posted that the Bulls could just toss Taj Gibson + 2 future 1sts + trade exception: Done too!!!! Bucher is annoying.
July 6, 201015 yr They were saying that Tor asked for Noah in a deal for Bosh and the Bulls say no... talk about over valuing your own players... man the Bulls are the worst with this. Deng and Hinrich come to mind for the latest 2.
July 6, 201015 yr Author Ric Bucher @Aykis16: Can we agree on this? That you need to stop tweeting today before you hurt yourself. (Agreed. Taking a break now.) LOL. That's right you are!
July 6, 201015 yr The key is Toronto. If they're willing to deal Bosh for Chalmers, picks, and cash... then Wade and Bosh are off the table.
