July 7, 201015 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:48 PM) Our boy Bucher saying Cleveland or Chicago again. This is ridiculous. Shares of MSG went up 6% today. Bucher has been all over the place! I would imagine the 6% is based only on speculation, the government would and has nailed people if there's insider stuff going on.
July 7, 201015 yr The Bulls tried but there's no way he ever was coming to Chicago. Michael Jordan is Chicago. He's staying in Cleveland for two more years, then he'll do this again. He wouldn't do a big TV thing if it wasn't Cleveland. It's too much a snub to his home state to do that to Cleveland.

I didn't mean to imply anything illegal was going on.

I say 3 years, but yes, that is an extremely realistic scenario

July 7, 201015 yr I'm holding out hope that somehow the Bulls end up with Evan Turner in all of this.

You will hear Cleveland, Chicago, NY and Miami are all the front runners from different people multiple times until tomorrow. Nobody f***in knows. If I weren't a Bulls fan, I'd bet a lot of money on Chicago landing him but since I am, I'll say he ends up on the Knicks. I still don't think it's going to be Miami and I'm starting to think less and less that Cleveland has a shot. I'll say it's between the Bulls and Knicks right now.
July 7, 201015 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:50 PM) He gained legitimacy with me for landing the Boozer news. Well, he was saying Miami for Bosh and Wade all along too. He knows his stuff. As does Broussard. As does Ford. But they all made asses of themselves trying to cover this story.
July 7, 201015 yr MAITLAND, Fla. — Amid a report that Carlos Boozer has decided to sign with Chicago, the Utah Jazz are expected to engage in sign-and-trade talks with the Bulls. ESPN reported that Boozer agreed to play for Chicago — a team and town he's been flirting with for the past year — with a five-year, $80-million contract. A sign-and-trade between Utah and Chicago could add one year to Boozer's deal. If the Bulls were to be able to lure reigning NBA MVP LeBron James to Chicago as well, Bulls small forward Luol Deng could be one piece of the sign-and-trade package. James is expected to make an announcement on where he plans to play next season live on ESPN at 7 p.m. on Thursday. If James were to go somewhere other than Chicago it's possible that Utah would ask to get back Bulls forward Taj Gibson as part of a possible sign-and-trade. Other pieces would have to be added to make salaries conform to NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement rules, and there is no guarantee Chicago would even be open to considering a sign-and-trade. Jazz personnel attending the Orlando Pro Summer League on Wednesday weren't able to immediately confirm the report. Story continues below

I also think this whole thing has been a lot more fluid than anyone expected... if you believe Chad Ford the Bulls could have had Bosh/Wade but decided to wait on LBJ instead, and I honestly think Wade was heavily leaning towards Miami on July 1, but things change.
July 7, 201015 yr calm down people it'll go back to Miami as the favorites here in 10 minutes....it'll be like this for the next 24 hrs till lebron tells us
July 7, 201015 yr Why would he leave Cleveland? He can make more money there and it'd be dumb to leave. I assume he approves of the new coach. It's Cleveland.

July 7, 201015 yr Cavs insider via twitter is saying it sounds like all teams in the running are in the dark and LBJ likely won't let the losers know

It's Cleveland. He didn't even speak to his new coach today at his camp. Scott showed up to watch him play, and LeBron didn't even speak to him.
July 7, 201015 yr I am of the opinion that no one knows and its all just guesses...so until LeBron says where he is going I am tired of the countless rumors...I am waiting to see what happens and not expecting anything.
July 7, 201015 yr After talking to numerous sources, sounds like all the teams after LeBron are still in the dark. Not sure he'll let losers know before show.
July 7, 201015 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) Why would he leave Cleveland? You answered your own question! It's Cleveland. But anyway, NY Market>>>Chicago Market>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cleveland market. He'd make more basketball salary in Cleveland, but he'd make much less in endorsement and such.
July 7, 201015 yr whats bucher's twitter account again? Athomeboy needs to put it back on his tracker
July 7, 201015 yr Carlos Boozer has Ben Wallace written all over it. He WILL NOT be a 20/10 guy in Chicago away from Sloan/DWill.
July 7, 201015 yr I stop reading for a few hours and it takes forever to catch up. Can anyone share the story about Delonte West and LeBron's mom?
July 7, 201015 yr just a thought, if lebron comes to the bulls to join the current roster, wins 6 rings and plays for the same amount of games as Jordan did, while average stats to his career average, who would you say as the greatest of all time?
