July 7, 201015 yr Author Privately, Dwyane Wade(notes) and Chris Bosh(notes) weren’t pleased on Wednesday morning with the belief that James’ camp was responsible for leaking their plans to a television partner, but then again it makes perfect sense: This isn’t about Wade and Bosh choosing the Heat. It’s about LeBron getting the stage to himself on Thursday night. Ok, LeBron is on a powertrip and I wish nothing but the worst to him.
July 7, 201015 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 02:48 PM) Well if that's true I hope LeBron enjoys never winning s***. 100% agreed. It's f***ing weird how it was supposedly narrowed down to a few teams, then as soon as he "announced" that he was making his decision, every team is supposedly alive.
July 7, 201015 yr The free agent class of this year has managed to make Kobe Bryant seem likeable (although ideally, the actually likeable in general Kevin Durant will get a few rings soon). Edited July 7, 201015 yr by whitesoxfan101

July 7, 201015 yr The Knicks TV market has been completely reeled into the broadcast tomorrow, making the advertising dollars skyrocket.

July 7, 201015 yr Yeah that article says it perfectly. In trying to advance his brand, he ruined his image. And he'll be the most criticized man in sports until he proves he can win something.
July 7, 201015 yr Author Stan Van Gundy, to Orlando media cluster, on Bosh going with Wade: "He’s been following him around for two weeks like his lapdog."
July 7, 201015 yr if lebron james so respect the culture of Cleveland, a place where he calls home, he should be be compliant with the culture of the city. Add "The Decision" to the list of the moves/events that will haunt the city for another 20 years or so.
July 7, 201015 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 03:07 PM) It'll be funny to see how all of us look if he ends up choosing the Bulls. I would strongly suggest against ruling out the Bulls yet.

July 7, 201015 yr Author QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 03:07 PM) It'll be funny to see how all of us look if he ends up choosing the Bulls. The chances of LBJ to the Bulls are at 0%. I can't believe how different things looked just a week ago. We should pull some of my over-confident posts from that time period right after WWW's bulls*** announcement.

July 7, 201015 yr Why have we heard absolutely nothing from the Bulls. If we are out, why haven't we heard that we are doing XYZ? You certainly would think we would have moved on. I know we are apparently in contact with other FA's but I would think if we were out on Lebron we'd already be jumping all over other people.

Maybe it will give us some good luck since you cursed the entire franchise with your blind optimism

We obviously know lebron is signing here and are sticking to our word with him to keep everything mum.
July 7, 201015 yr I'm not convinced LeBron even knows what headband he's going to pick yet. It sounds idiotic to have this tv program planned without a decision already made, but if anybody would do it, it's LeBron.
July 7, 201015 yr ESPN's Chad Ford chimes on Wednesday afternoon, and writes that the Cavs, Bulls and Nets have all intensified their efforts to land Boozer in an attempt to entice LeBron James. "Sources said that on Wednesday, the Bulls, Cavs and Nets all intensified negotiations with Boozer, hoping that landing the 28-year-old power forward could entice LeBron," he writes. "The Bulls and Nets would still have max cap room to sign LeBron if they can get Boozer to agree to a deal for something around 5 years, $80 million. The Cavs do not have cap space and cannot sign Boozer straight out. However, the team has called the Jazz about potentially doing a sign-and-trade with Boozer." --- On Wednesday morning, the Salt Lake Tribune's Ross Siler updates us on Carlos Boozer's status. "Boozer's decision is expected to come down to Chicago, New Jersey and Utah with Jazz still very much in mix," he tweeted. "It's been tough to get a read on whether Boozer prefers Chicago or New Jersey -- but he's been targeting the Bulls dating to last summer. For the Jazz, the urgency of re-signing Boozer has been linked to keeping the team competitive and Deron Williams happy. It's sounded all along as if Boozer is much more interested in signing outright with a team with cap space than sign-and-trade scenarios." The Bulls also have the cap space to sign Boozer outright. And as we noted earlier on Wednesday, the Bulls will likely now turn their attention to Boozer and David Lee. But with Lee in the mix in several scenarios, the Bulls may have a better shot at landing Boozer -- especially when there's been talk about him and the Bulls since last summer, when he was mentioned in trade talks with Chicago.
