Cowley did claim he saw Wade's kid in the washroom at the Cell on Saturday afternoon...

 

Wade was definitely there, he was shown on the big screen and a friend of mine has a picture of him from the game on their facebook page.

Via Joe Cowley (@cst_sox)- Forget Worldwide Wes, I was just in the bathroom with D Wade's son and nephew ... I know exactly what's going down come July 1.

well everything probably won't shake out until next week anyway, but some of the reports starting Thursday are going to be priceless, every breath one of those guys take is going to be analyzed and I bet we have a few "false" reports before things are finalized

 

I know nothing will be decided by Thursday. But I think a lot of the stuff we start hearing then will be MUCH more legitimate than the crap we're hearing now. I mean this is f***ing ridiculous right now. It's sad the kinda world that we live in (i.e. I f***ing hate the internet, especially f***ing Twitter).

Will James have a press conference area with caps on a table?

 

Then, he can put one on during the conference, like when a high school kid commits to a college school.

Chris Broussard stands by his report -

Marc Stein & I have multiple sources who saw the players in Miami Sat. denials r smart since meeting could b tampering, but our info is good

 

Note the bold part.

Wade was in Chicago.

Was this before or after his twitter beef with Chet Coppick?

After

Wade was in Chicago.

 

He was in a box with Big Buff. Is that tampering?

But yeah, it's way more believable that LeBron, D-Wade, and Chris Bosh all sat down at a Southbeach restaurant while the whole planet is talking about them, and all these unnamed "sources" were incapable of pulling off a pic with their blackberry's as proof.

This has actually been a very similar process to college recruiting. Lots of made up rumors and people pretending they know where the players are going, when really, nobody knows. Additionally, the players talking to every team to see what they can offer, both in terms of chances to win and money. All kinds of violations of rules, players being run out of town to make room for the better ones, stuff going on under the table, potential package deals for multiple players. It's dirty stuff, and pro fans are seeing what it's like to follow it in college.

ROFL

It's not as if private jets don't exist and Wade couldn't travel from Chicago to Miami in 2 hours.

there are ways of doing it in secret. Arrive at different times. Use a private room. Smoke screens of where the press thinks you are.

 

I'm not saying it actually happened as the time frame doesnt match up, but it is possible.

Here's the thing. There was a couple reports that this happened MONDAY night, in which case it wouldn't matter where they were FRI-SUN.

Chicago to Miami is a 3 hour trip, minimum. So even if Wade left the game at 9. He doesnt take off until 10 and LANDS in Miami at 2am Sunday morning (factoring in time change).

Do athletes get speed of light jets these days?

Steven a Smith reported it a done deal at 5:46 AM on Monday.

A certain coach has been meeting with LBJ, has promised to coach if he comes to Miami. Doesn't help the Bulls situation.

If that is not tampering by Pat Riley I do not know what is. Also I thought according to Wade Miami was loyal, they seem to have no problem firing good young coaches everytime Pat Riley has the itch to coach.

I'm officially done with this thread until the announcement that LBJ is signing in Chicago.

The Riley rumor has been around for a while.

 

Oh, and if Riley has been talking to LBJ, that's absolutely tampering.

Wait? What? I can not stand Coppock. What happened?

The more I process this, the more interesting and HIGHLY sceptically I am of the James/Wade/Bosh to Miami story.

• For almost a week it was a "lock" by almost all media sources that James and Bosh were headed to Chicago.
• At 6am on Monday, Steven A Smith reports James and Bosh are going to team with Wade in Miami.
• Less than 24 hours later, all of a sudden ESPN jumps on the story and says "me too! We heard it too! It's a lock."
• ESPN reports the meeting happened on Saturday, when it's a FACT the three where no where near each other, let alone in Miami.
• Wade's rep says 'you dumbass, he wasnt even in Miami'

It just doesnt pass my smell test.

Speaking of my tampering rant:

New Jersey Nets minority owner Jay-Z wines and dines free agent LeBron James in New York

The Bulls are tampering just as much as everybody else is I bet. This is like when one school who is paying it's players gets mad that another one is.
