Stephen A. Smith: LeBron is Headed to Miami

[BIRDMAN BIRDMAN]

He just said it in his show...he said its what his source said to him.

Follow up tweets:

I just reported on my show that LeBron James is heading to S. Beach -- with Chris Bosh -- to team with Dwayne Wade and Pat Riley. Here's the

Number to call: 877-99-ONFOX. That's 877.996.6369

All speculation - I know you might get tired of the media claiming to know, but hey, that's what the off-season talk is for

[Chosen01]

loool, I'm honestly trying to figure out if there is anywhere to hibernate until July 8th because the past 48 hours have been crazy, I could imagine how it'll be from July 1st onward.

[twix2500]

Okay Im not coming back until the first atleast. This is ridiculous. I wish they will spot light all the reporters who were wrong, when everyone signs. And interview them and ask them, why did you make up your rumor.

[toneoz]

So...

C: Bosh, Pittman, Joel
PF: Beasley, Vernando
SF: James, Wright
SG: Wade, Bell, Beverley
PG: Chalmers, Arroyo

[SOUP]

So...

C: Bosh, Pittman, Joel
PF: Beasley, Vernando
SF: James, Wright
SG: Wade, Bell, Beverley
PG: Chalmers, Arroyo

Bosh will not play C, and take this with a grain of salt fellas, you honestly think LeBron wants to be Wade's Robin? If he comes here thats exactly what he will be. This is Wade county, he won a ring here. These reporters are digging their own graves.

[BIRDMAN BIRDMAN]

Special thanks to the Knicks board for this:

-I've done my due diligence and spoken to 19 people to be exact. I've spoken to reliable people in both New York and Cleveland. I expect him to sign early next week

-Earlier last year I've reported that Lebron is going to the Knicks. The Knicks had the inside track on him. Dolan is well connected to people on Wall Street and he could have made Lebron more of a global icon

-Huge mistake is letting go of Isiah. One thing you can't deny about Isiah is his ability to recruit. A lot of people will point to his failure with the CBA and his failure with the New York Knicks, but he is very well respected by the players around the league. You can't deny his recruiting ability. I'm not saying that they would have gotten Lebron James, but the chances would have been better.

- I've said all of that to say this. First of all, the Los Angelas Clippers were never in the mix. They're cursed and have a horrible owner. The Clippers weren't in the mix at any point.

- It comes down to Lebron picking between the Miami Heat and Cleveland. I've spoken to my sources in Cleveland and New York and I've known 1 guy for 15 years that have never given me false information. You're only as good as your sources. Lebron James is going to play with Dwyane Wade in South Beach. Chris Bosh and Lebron James are going to Miami Heat. Its not official, but I'm telling you Lebron is going to the Miami Heat.

- Amare Stoudemire want to go to the Miami Heat, but the Heat don't want him as much as they want Bosh.

-Knicks aren't on the list because Walsh is getting old. There is no telling how much longer he would be around. I'm not talking about death or anything of that sort, but as for being around the team. His future is in doubt because he is older

-Another reason why the Knicks aren't on the list is Mike D'Antoni. From talking to players in Phoenix, D'Antoni doesn't mention defense 5 times a year. Every answer for D'Antoni is offense. They can give up 60 points and the answer will still be offense.

I sent him an e-mail asking him how the cap figures would work and if they had a trade in mind involving Beasley.

If we land those two + Wade, we will have the most powerful trio the NBA has ever seen.

And if it does happen that way I'll rename myself Trixie for the whole season!

[Harry Heinous]

My nuts are tingling

[miamiballer]

excuse me while i go cahnge my pants....


ok back now

so we have sources up the wahoo proclaiming that bosh is going to miami who by the way is already in miami and then we have sas saying lebron, bosh and wade to miami

sas isnt CV...this guy is legit...my god, pat riley what have you done....he loves us

oh and if this happens you can find me blowing all my money on heat tix for the next 10 yrs

[I Never Lied]

Not to burst any bubbles but SAS is hardly credible and has been wrong about dozens of trades in the past.

He's wrong a lot.

[DayofMourning]

Yeah, I'll be a bubble burster too....Steven A. Smith.....really guys?! He's a loudmouthed fool whose opinionated attitude and energetic angst got him a job.

However, I've been predicting Bosh and James to Miami since day one:)

Based on what all these talking heads-aka experts-have said, Miami will field this team next year:

C-Amare/PIttman/Varnado
F-Bosh/Beasley/Haslem
F-James/Gay/Wright
G-Wade/Allen/Butler
G-JJ/Arroyo/Chalmers

I like it guys! That's one sweet team. We should consider ourselves blessed.

[Lane1974]

Beasley most certainly be traded for one of them in an s&t, a pg or C, or for at least nothing to give them more money.

[BennyGfromFL]

Yeah, Stephen A Smith is completely clueless. Here's what he tweeted on Thursday night following the draft....

# Folks, I have news for you: The Miami Heat STOLE the evening. They drafted well and cleared $43 mil in cap space. They now have more $$ free

# Than the NY Knicks. Since they already have a Superstar in D-Wade, they can exceed the cap by bringing in 2 Superstars -- then re-sign Wade. Thu Jun 24 23:45:59 2010 via UberTwitter

Dude clearly has no idea how the cap works. Embarrassing.

[NADALbULLS]

I think he's just one of those mentally defective guys who got a good job, because his reports are going in all different directions and make no sense. This LBJ to Miami report will either be the crowning achievement of his life or the biggest blunder of his life, because he's stressing this as a fact like a madman.

[spectrec130]

loool, I'm honestly trying to figure out if there is anywhere to hibernate until July 8th because the past 48 hours have been crazy, I could imagine how it'll be from July 1st onward.

Good lukk with that, told myself that i would ignore all the so called reports and jus leave realgm alone til the 8th...pppfffttt....that ain't working out for me so well ....Like an addict needing a fix.

One thing is for sure, gonna need rehab/retreat after all this is done and over with /sigh!

[cheenofly523]

According to DJ Laz(Powe 96 DJ)'s real estate agent, Chris Bosh just recently bought a house in Miami Beach.

[SA37]

Dream scenario for Miami. While I don't believe this is what will happen, I'll entertain it for a moment.

If there were a group of players who broke the mold, put egos aside, and signed for the same team, this would be the group. Pat Riley will be stressing the fact that his Lakers' teams featured KAJ, Magic, and Worthy, and that their personal legacies and titles won were not hurt by the fact they played together. And he'll also be telling them they could form the greatest team in NBA history. That's the potential.

Anyway, I think egos will triumph and LeBron will sign elsewhere. I think he'll listen to the sales pitch Riley has, but in the end he'll be picking between New Jersey, New York, and Chicago.

[Lakeshow2417]

they would be **** stupid TO NOT team up all together and go to MIAMI,

if they are serious about winning then teaming up and going to miami makes tons of sense.

[HEATVols865]

What SA37 said.

[miamiballer]

if this happens...realgm heat party?
