Didn't say Rose was anti-LeBron. But the word is preference was Joe Johnson. They have same agent. That is what multiple people tell me. 9 minutes ago via TweetDeck

This stuff can't be true. Which NBA player in their right mind prefers Joe Johnson over LBJ.

The ones who (a) think they're good enough to win as the man and (b) don't want to be Lebron's sidekick

I could totally see Derrick Rose say to himself that he'd rather get a top-end 2nd banana and win it all and get all the credit/glory than find himself as the 2nd banana. Dude was the #1 pick in the draft, I'm sure he thinks very highly of himself.

Tomorrow is going to be the day, no reason to wait for Dwade unless he is leaving.

Wade cancelled his media appearance for tomorrow.

I may barf.

Before anyone freaks out, it could be he and Bosh and LBJ decided to hold off all media appearances until they decide where they are going to be.

But I don't think it's good.

Man I see Boozer resign with Utah and I will get major worried. Unless Wade has Bosh on board with him wherever he goes, it doesn't help him competition wise to continue to hold his decision past Wednesday. Also guys like Boozer probably aren't too happy being in a holding pattern with the major salary cap players so they might go with whats best for them. Utah situation isn't bad for Boozer, he could just return.

sorry heat but this looks good for the bulls.

if this happens what about a trade. Deng to Heat Beasley to Bulls.

I wouldn't talk to media either if i were them. They know what's gonna come their way so might as well avoid it. Bosh nor Bron are talking to media either.

Any link for the Wade media cancellation?

That sounds great we give you beasley and allow you guys to not only take Wade but also start a dynasty.

Wade ducking the fans at the airport, then ducking the fans tomorrow at the Nova event...meeting with Arison today.

either we got this locked up or we got this all wrong.

Wade pleading to Arison for S&T? saying thanks for the ride?

or locking up a hush commitment with Bosh on the way and more moves to be made?

S&T is inconceivable without Rose, Noah or about 3 first rounders coming back.

What leverage would the Heat have in that situation that would make the Bulls want to give up Rose or Noah?

Great idea! But why stop there, how about Micky Arison adds 3 of his cruise ships to the deal, that way you guys can have weekend parties on the Great Lakes! :thumbsup:

None, what leverage does Chicago have to force our hand in a S&T? If Wade is leaving why would we help Chicago? You want an organization that helps build other teams go talk to Washington some more.

Good point, but LEIF also makes a good point about the fact that it seems Wade is avoiding the fans/media down in Miami.

Edit: And we are NOT going to S&T Wade unless Riley has completely lost his mind. Not a chance.
