Yeah no way Lebron is ing wade over while he is basically sleeping over the last few days

If Lebron leaves that'd be pretty shocking tbh. My guess would be that if he signs with miami, he signs a 3-yr max deal with with an opt-out option after the second year. Gives him a max contract with some options so he's not deadlocked. If it's the Cavs, it's the full 4-year max.

I still think that they are trying to get Bosh to leave so that they can use that money on other players. If Lebron and Wade are still hanging out, then it doesn't seem like he would leave. Chris Bosh is nowhere to be seen, yet Lebron and Wade a hanging out at one of his camps, doesn't make sense to me that he would leave. I really do think they're trying to get Bosh to move to another team so they could free up his salary slot.

I agree. Bosh will call his shot before the others do. I think he likes seeing his picture on ESPN, so he's gonna milk it for a while.

James could easily sign a 2 year deal, opt out clause after 1 year, just to see what Riley can do.
If he does this, my guess is that would cause Bosh to stay in Miami, Melo to sign wiith N.Y. and wait 1 year which would be enough time for Phil Jackson to make enough room to sign James to a max contract.
And Gasol would probably go to Chicago.

It appears the Gilbert letter is the only issue standing in the way with James going back to Cleveland IMHO.

Would Bosh commit to 4 years in Miami if LeBron could leave after one? I'm not so sure. Bosh could go the same route, though, and sign a short contract (maybe the same structure as LeBron's) so he couldn't get left behind. The Heat would retain his Bird rights too.

Dwyane Wade left cross-country flight with LeBron James to Miami still unsure of which way James is leaning, sources tell Yahoo Sports.

According to ESPN.com that nasty little letter that was written when Lebron left Cleveland is getting in the way. Ok, so there you have his excuse for not choosing Cleveland, and it creates a scapegoat. Cleveland fans will issue their anger at the letter's writer instead of Lebron who never seriously considered going back anyway. He just likes to feel the love.

So then it comes down to probably just Miami. So why the drama? Just let everyone know where you are going. Get on the phone and tell Bosh to sign with Houston. It seems to me that Bron Bron doesn't want to look like the bad guy by telling Bosh to pack his bags, so he is waiting Bosh out. Those people who want to believe that Lebron isn't all about himself like he used to be are in for a surprise because the dude hasn't changed much.

Jesus tapdancing Christ, can you imagine any other "great" in this position? Jordan would have used "The Letter" to light his cigar; Kobe would have bullied Gilbert into selling the team; Duncan would never be in this situation in the first place.


James thinks the Cavs are his best chance to get what he wants, but he's not sure because his feelings are hurt? Talk about a loser trapped in a winner's body.

DOH!

Well, I was dead wrong.
