Bulls challenge LeBron to live up to Jordan
Doug Thonus
Ballsy.
This is the type of thing that would have driven Michael Jordan, and the Bulls are taking a gamble that it will drive James as well. Play on his compe ive fire. Play on his love for Jordan and fandom of the Bulls dynasty growing up.
I think it's really the only way for them to go. They can't hide the issue, so instead, go balls out with it and attempt to turn it into a positive.
lebron is a bulls jersey would be pretty sic
Damn!... Like they said, it would have driven Jordan... and I think it would have worked well if designed for D-Wade too. They're the ultimate compe ors.... Will it work for LeBron tho?
It'd work for me... lol... that's too clean.
They probably used the same tactic with this shoebox for LeBron and Wade. Bosh on the other hand was sitting beside himself wondering, "Where's my Jordan's?"
Wade welcomes that challenge, LeBron get put on his heels from that challenge and the Bulls are smart enough not to offer such a challenge to Bosh, IMO.

After agreeing to terms with free-agent guard Steve Blake, the Lakers are no longer courting forward Mike Miller.
"Source told FOXSports.com that the Lakers offer to Mike Miller is no longer on the table following the Steve Blake signing," Jeff Goodman wrote on his Twitter page.

Classic.
Too bad Lebron's $$$ fire burns hotter
alanhahn Not to tease, but I have to credit @CSheridanESPN. Heard today Joe Johnson is, in fact, still wavering. Knicks have full-court press on him.

Talked to Roger Mason today. Says he's heard from several teams, but #spurs aren't one of them. Chi, NY,Miami, and both LAs on list.
Two summers ago, Mason's choice came down to #spurs and Heat. Wouldn't be surprised if he lands in Miami this time. Just a hunch.
Mason has no plans to sell house in SA, and might end up coming back to live when he retires. Says "I fell in love w/ the city."
STEIN_LINE_HQ Sources say Dirk to get guaranteed $80 million over next four seasons. Took less than max to give Mavs financial cushion for more moves
STEIN_LINE_HQ Just filed to ESPN.com: Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks have reached terms on a new four-year contract
james talked to cavs for one hour
james talked to bulls three hours
Detroit Pistons’ reported free agent targets: Brendan Haywood, Matt Barnes and Raymond Felton

I think that would lock up somebody like Kobe - but unfortunately, I don't think Lebron has enough compe ive fire to bite on that one.
rumor going around of a 3 team trade:
There are rumors of three-way trade discussions among Golden State, Minnesota and New York, in which Al Jefferson would be sent to the Warriors, Lee to the Timberwolves, and Monta Ellis to the Knicks.
Lee visited Minnesota on Saturday but the team holds only $7 million of salary-cap space which means that Lee would be looking for a sign-and-trade to get him to the Wolves at a contract nearer to his market value.

Well if Monta stays with the Knicks and doesn't get traded out then Tony Parker's not going to NYC anytime soon.
Why would the wolves do this??? Al Jeff>>>>Lee
Too tore up to check to see if this has been posted, but the Spurs are still being mentioned as a possibility, FWTFTW . . .
Free-agent buzz: Bosh thinking things over
The Raptors are still open-minded about the possibility of a sign-and-trade with their All-Star and have done extensive research on possible scenarios with each potential trade partner. The Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers are among the teams in the luxury tax who have interest in a possible sign-and-trade for Bosh. The San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets are other possible sign-and-trade partners.
I love TP and Manu but I would trade either and Blair for Bosh. I'd prefer to part with Manu, to be quite honest.
Anyway, Lebron not going to announce till Wed night after his camp in Akron. I think he's leaving otherwise he'd just announce now that he's staying but if he announced now that he was leaving that camp would be crazy.
Brad Miller: Celtics Interested
Update: Miller was one of the first contacts for the Celtics when free agency opened on Thursday, the Boston Globe reports.
Recommendation: With Kendrick Perkins(notes) (knee) expected to be sidelined for the first month or two of the 2010-11 season, Miller would provide Boston with much needed depth to their frontcourt. At 34, Miller’s production has been tapering off the past few years, but he could be worth a look in deep fantasy leagues for the first part of the season if he lands in Boston.
The Wolves are not run by great basketball minds. Jefferson has a bad wheel.
I hope this deal happens. Monta Ellis and Amare in NY would be wonderful theater. Talk about a disfunctional family.
Interesting that he edited to story. Interesting because he originally had SA and Houston included with the teams in the luxury tax. I tweeted a correction
He corrected it without a thanks or a single peep. What a .AnkleBones
@SpearsNBAYahoo Neither Houston nor San Antonio are in the luxury tax as of now. Small hiccup but otherwise correct.
120 million for Joe Johnson? Ouch.
Joe should be lucky to get half that the way he fell apart in the playoffs. Did I say fall apart? I meant he was undressed and embarrassed in the playoffs!
