League Sources: LeBron James's meeting with the Heat will take place tomorrow (Wednesday) in Las Vegas. There was no meeting today

haha, this is silly


LeBron's probably just laughing at the world and all the other free agents and teams watching and waiting for his decision so they can move on. It's like the clock has stopped and everyone is frozen in time.

ESPN, Hoopshype, Realgm have all asked LBJ to delay his decision until August, just for all of the Pageviews we are giving them. LBJ takes a cut from each, makes up some money so he can sign back for less in MIA. 8-)

At least that's what a source told me.... / hehe...

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

They were just debating on whether LeBron's legacy would be enhanced by returning to Cleveland versus Miami. Burns pondered why we haven't met with Bosh or Melo if those are two players we pitched to LeBron.

Now talking soccer - Brasil and Germany and why Gambo doesn't like Germany

next will be Kirk Gibson at 230 so probably 245 means talking about AZ, Arroyo getting TJ, etc

So maybe by 3pm - Gambo will talk about the Suns

SSOL, Tell Burnsie it's because we are pitching him on Love and/or The Beard..... Not Bosh and Melo....

Hmm, that's a good point. Actually, a really good point. Maybe we've met with them and have kept it incredibly private; maybe LeBron has said we don't need to meet with them/he'll handle it; maybe he doesn't want to play with either of them (would rather have Love/another player we trade for?)

I don't know. They might have taken offense a little bit to us saying we'd let LeBron pick who to play with, as if those guys couldn't make their own decisions on where to go and are not just going to automatically tag along with LeBron if he wants them to.

So since you said Dragic's future depends on LeBron's decision, I hope you meant that if LeBron doesn't come, Dragic stays.
