In those conversations, the representatives spoke only of Miami as the destination for James.

If he goes to Miami it's the most gutless move. He will be known as the player who couldn't win anything without a stacked team. I still think it's a smokescreen and he will ruin his so called "brand".

You forgot the next paragraph!

Suspicion lingered in the league whether this was a clear affirmation of James’ intent or a misdirection play designed to generate suspense for his primetime TV announcement. James will announce at 9 p.m. ET Thursday whether he will play for the Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks or New Jersey Nets

Be gentle, he suffers from battered fan syndrome.

This would suck so bad. God why lord why!!

At this point I have no reservation on his decision and no reported updated can be trusted. They are drumming up as much press for this as possible (heck he may do all of this and stay in Cleveland). Until he makes the announcement tonight everything is just pure BS.

During the LeDecision here in Hong Kong it's 10 am and I'm probably at work, I think I gonna scream on whatever outcome is there.

Ahhhhhh another day of "As Lebron Turns"... ESBN @ it again. Leading the day with LBJ to the HEAT. Rolling puppet Broussard out claiming multiple sources. Yahoo's Wojina claiming LBJ was making recruiting calls to potential FA about joining the HEAT.

This is the biggest SMOKE-SCREEN ever....

Seems like LBJ decided to make a career suicide. He may win 10 rings in Miami and people could care less. Enjoy the empty arena and your early retirement LBJ.

We need to move on. These guys are big time idiots. They are killing the NBA as we know it. I bet they will struggle winning a ring for the foreseeable future and someone will demand a trade soon enough.

We have a great young player in Gallo and an all star in Amare. Walsh needs to play this right and not make half moves that will hurt future flexibility. The proposed GS deal sounds good to me. Make it happen Walsh. Get us a great young team and let's show these guys how to build a team.

Barry is now saying Miami makes no sense and if they have to move Beasley which only leaves them with 4 players and a couple of million to fill out the entire roster (which just doesn't make any sense). He is putting Chicago as the #1 option but to me that doesn't make sense with the history of the Bulls management (they may be his best bet to win now but not 5-10 years from now).

Stephen A says he has info about the Knicks on his show this morning, making a last push for Lebron. Can anyone summarize it for me? I can't listen to it.

Give it up bro. As much as ESPN are full of idiots, they would not put the whole company in line by "breaking news" stating Miami is the destination. I think it is a done deal. LBJ and his management are bunch of idiots who can't understand markets it seems. LBJ wants his ring and wants to play with his boys. Apparently, the whole King talk was out of hand and he never really cared about being a brand. Let him be.

The funny thing is: Wade will get the sixth year and 10% increases so as Bosh with S&T. Idiot LBJ will be making the least among them.

I don't think Miami is a done deal by far. I'll let it go when he makes the announcement tonight. This crap has flip flopped everyday this week so like I said before it's all BS.

I really think this is what is it... Alan Hahn works for Newsday who is owned by Dolan, if Lebron said "Make it seem like I'm going else where to keep the suspense" the Knicks could either
A) Have fake sources tell Alan Hahn he's going to the Heat
B) Told Alan Hahn to report this.

Flip flopping is one thing. When ESPN puts it as breaking news with every reporter claiming it is Miami, it is another thing. No drama left. No suspense left. Suspense would be claiming they don't know anything.

Until the words come out of LeDiva's mouth, its not a done deal. ESPN's Breaking News has been wrong before. Remember when they said Mark Texeira signed with the Red Sox? Oh and then a couple of hours later he signed with the Yankees. They were running the Red Sox story all over their ticker.
