I hope he signs with Minnesota or Sacramento or something stupid like that.

I mean, I think that's everywhere. I hate the guy and enjoy watching him lose, but if he came to Chicago i'd be happy as a clam.

 

Ditto.

So, I'd place odds of Lebron leaving Miami are .5%. At least for another year, the Heat will be the Heat. Though, okay, maybe Bosh out for assets, I just don't see anyone on open market that would help them as much as him (even in terms of quantity).

Yup on all of this.

Lol at ppl even entertaining the notion that LeBron would play for Chicago. The Cubs winning a WS this season is more likely.

Agreed. LeBron isn't coming to Chicago. No chance.

I'm not holding my breath, but I don't see why not. I know if I were him I'd wanna play here.

Ha, same here. But for some reason he (nor any star) wants to play in Chicago. We were clearly the best choice in 2010 and he didn't pick us. We had a young, talented, deep roster who could have been contenders for a decade or more (instead of 4 years like Miami) and he went the Miami route. We are in worse shape now with a questionable Rose.

 

While I think that coming to Chicago would be a smart move for him, I don't see him feeling the same way.

I think the odds are 99% Heat, 1% anywhere else. The only way he leaves is if Miami does absolutely nothing to improve the team.

 

 

That's the problem though. If Wade is back, Miami is almost screwed. Can't really add more and they need more with his dead ass dragging around.

Because it won't happen, it just won't.

 

I wonder how different things would be if basketball was played in the summer.

It'll be interesting to see where the two Iowa State guys end up in the draft, if at all. Have seen both Kane and Ejim mentioned in the late second round. Have an easier time seeing Kane get drafted.

When Simmons sticks to basketball, he's a great read:

In some alternate universe right now, I’m writing about how incredible the 2014 Finals between OKC and Chicago was. That’s just the NBA for you — it’s a league of “What if’s.

I wish that was in this universe

Top pick hopeful Joel Embiid reportedly suffered a serious foot injury, which could have a ripple effect on Sixers http://ow.ly/ye690

Man that sucks for the sixers. I suppose they may view this as a blessing since Presti may be more patient than Bucks/Cavs and select him at #3.

These are awesome.

I agree. Not sure if it's just nostalgia, but those colors really pop and work well together.

Ya, I've never been a nostalgia guy but those colors are just awesome.

How much louder does embiid need to scream that he's injury prone?

So, the end of pre-draft workouts if you can get hurt doing one?

 

Wonder how much money that cost him.

Considering his pre-existing injury issues, I wouldnt imagine too much.

 

 

Some team is either going to take a Portland sized chance on him, or they are going to all let him fall

Joel Embiid's agent announces Embiid has stress fracture in his right foot, surgery Friday and won't attend the NBA draft in New York Thur.

I don't think he falls past 4. Blake Griffin was injury prone too until he wasn't.

Maybe he'll fall to 16!
