This, according to ESPN's Chris Broussard

Lebron at powerforward?!

Huh!?

[completely deck]

Guam? jk

It's about to be 3:00 PM in Guam right now

[montgod]

Both can only offer the MLE.

Its gonna come down to his preference.

Technically, SA's MLE would be worth since there is no state tax.

Cavs looking for a big wing so James can move to the pf position.

Why would they want him at PF? defending other PF's is going to wear him out

Plus HEB commercials

Night guys, hope I wake up to good news.

Yup, we don't push endorsement opportunities around here as much as we should. Somebody tweet that to RC.

James would be such a tough cover for other pf's in the league. As strong as he is he could guard the compe ion but you gotta believe it would wear him down.

yeah im from Guam and it's 3 pm July 1st.

[kbrury]

Didn't a teammate of Shaq run into him and get injured I forgot who?

[ploto]

You guys do know that players still have to pay state income tax for every game they play in all those other states. Sure there are all the home games in the state without the state income tax, but the benefit only applies to a little over half their salary.

The PF does not have to guard him on D, you can put someone else on him.

So begins the "Rasheed Wallce watch".
Don't stay up too late trying to find out where sheed is going guys.

[Sec24Row7]

what is the broussard link?

[loveforthegame]

It will still cause mismatches somewhere else then.

Anyway, off to bed now. While I don't expect news in the morning it would be nice to hear who the Spurs talked to.

God I hate Ric Bucher.

Are you sure about this? I'm not saying that you are lying but it makes very little sense. It would be equivalent to a business person that travels a lot for his job being forced to pay state income tax to every state he travels to. The Spurs would be his employer and they are located in San Antonio, so Texas should be the only state that he would be forced to pay state income tax (which there is none). Could someone else please provide clarification on this. Thanks in advance.

Here's one of the articles I found on it:

Great, like we needed 2 threads about Sheed


Twice the stress

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

God I hate Ric Bucher.

So do most people. The people that like Ruc Bucher are those annoying fans that themselves over the players ESPN hypes up a lot and the fans that hear a trade rumor on ESPN and think it means that trade is a sure thing.

After googling it and reading the article provided by Lurker, I owe you an apology for doubting your word ploto. Sorry my friend. I had no idea that this was the case and I thank you for the insight.

I know... we will not be able to sleep tonight... imagining Sheed on the sideline, smiling, being a great citizen, the HEB and Time Warner ads...

If that is true, that's bull ! I work all over the coutry, travel outside the country too for work... why am I not made to pay when I work outside of Texas?

Maybe I asked that the wrong way... why are NBA plyers having to pay tax when they work out of state?
