And he thinks Lee is only going to garner 7 mill...no way LeBron goes to Miami.

So the Heat will magically get Lee for 7 million too? -Jitpal

As close to a direct quote as I could get:

"According to my sources in NYC, in Cleveland, I wouldn't go with this but I've got one guy that I've know for 15 years and he has never given me false information (and as a journalist you're only as good as your sources), and after hearing what everyone has to say, LeBron will agree to team with Dwyane Wade. He's going to South Beach. Lebron, with Chris Bosh will go to Miami."

Damn, and I was afraid for a second.

This is what he said

-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 owned. 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.

MY GOD WTF!!! Are you serious

He never said David Lee is going to the Heat. He said the Heat can go after David Lee. Not one time did he say David Lee is going to the Heat.

So we lose out because we fired Isiah.
Ok. I get it now.

I would put my life savings on the line that we do not see an an LBJ, CB & DW pairing in Miami.

Ok so he said we would have a better shot at getting lebron if Isiah was still here. Maybe he forgot about how Isiah would never in a million years try to get under the cap for us to even sigh lebron. Effin moron.

A: We won't be able to sign LeBron because we don't have Isaiah

B: If we had Isaiah, we would never have had the cap space to sign LeBron

A and B cannot coexist, therefore the Stephen A universe just imploded.

Let's see if Team Lebron refutes this.
Joe and Amare?
Lol. We sold the farm for Joe Johnson and Amare?
Wow. If this is so, Walsh's legacy is tarnished beyond repair.
I like Amare a lot and Joe is a stud. Perfect fit. But not worth the past two years.

Well if they really wanna make it happen then it is theoretically possible.

Sign Lebron and then sign and trade Beasley to Toronto for Bosh and a near max contract.

Justdatdude · Post #35 » by **Justdatdude** » Mon Jun 28, 2010 10:51 am

He said we had a better shot if we had Isiah because of his recruiting ability. Take it for what its worth, but don't put everything into that. I'm not going to hold him on the Bosh comment because he didn't say his sources told him Bosh was going to Miami. He said he has known 1 man who has never given him false information, and Lebron is going to Miami. He then went onto say Bosh is joining them in Miami, but all his sources were geared towards Lebron. I'm not putting anything into the Bosh comment.

I'm inclined to agree. I got $31.58 altogether.

BLACKFEET 2010 · Post #37 » by **BLACKFEET 2010** » Mon Jun 28, 2010 10:52 am

So his "source" wanted him to reveal this now? Why?

I don't think Miami has much of a shot. When you're as good as Lebron and Wade, coexisting isn't going to be an issue. They will have the ball majority of the time and both are looking for help. Every player doesn't have to feed off each other for a team to work. I don't see Lebron going there because he will be helping Wade build his legacy at the same time, possibly putting Wade above Lebron when there careers are over. I don't see it happening, but he said he is putting himself on the line. I can't wait to see if he is right.

At this point, i'd prefer hearing vuvuzelas than listen to any more analysis on this crap.

Bingosan · Post #40 » by **Bingosan** » Mon Jun 28, 2010 10:54 am

We'll see. It is definitely not as unthinkable as some believe but I find it unlikely for one factor alone:

Wade has already 1 title and they are the same age right? That means if they win titles together Wade will always have one title more than Lebron. Wade will always be the man with the most titles in team history--the first man. I just can't imagine Lebron being too fond of this idea. NY and Cleveland are the only two teams where he can create his own legacy.
