I'm losing hope by the second...

So what's our back up plan now? Joe Johnson?

Jordan shooting the big playoff clinchers wearing Bulls uniforms and Nike gear transitioning into LBJ tying his shoes getting up off the bench in his new Bulls uniform with Nike gear and the text saying "Here We Go Again...Just Do It"

Goose Bumps? me too.

EDIT: This approach wraps LBJ into three (Jordan, Bulls, Nike) of the most powerful international basketball brands even before he wins his first championship. No other free agent destination can offer LBJ this sort of exposure on day one, not even NYC, in my opinion.

I was thinking about something like this as well, but then sort of got stuck in my tracks. Would MJ be able to/want to be in Nike ads featuring a LeBull James? What about the team he owns? The Cats?

Oh - and I still believe we have as good a chance as ever.

Why don't one of you guys start a poll? If you guys don't, I will.

We should wait until tomorrow - the day before the start of FA.

Maybe. Someone - i forget who - mentioned how Nike could start running those Be Like Mike ads once again but have LBJ be the certain of it. Although I liked that "here we go again...just do it" ad too - that sounded damn cool

I guess you're right. The last one was 4 days ago. Too soon.

While that would be cool, those were Gatorade ads, not Nike.

So Doug, did your source have any idea of this meeting even though he believes that Lebron is still Chicago bound?

Hope it's true! :pray:

Doug, you're famous

They are bashing you as well as everyone else.

Bashing Doug knows no boundaries. He can always return to the the sheltering cove of RealGM.

Cliff Levingston · Post #280 » by **Cliff Levingston** » Tue Jun 29, 2010 2:34 pm

Well, we might as well just stop talking about if LeBron will come and start talking about who we'll be able to get to surround him with.
