Lebron/Bulls gossip & rumors (merging)

[anorexorcism]

the great thing about these stories is that we have things to talk about guys. if he was guaranteed to stay in cleveland we would be forced to talk about the draft......

Well, even that front is shaping up nicely. See the thread from earlier today about who we're working out this weekend. Good stuff indeed.

The same ESPN That said Kobe to Chicago was a done deal? RIGHTTT!
ESPN is setting up every Bulls fan for disappointment.

ESPN is not one dude. Secondly, your post assumes that being wrong once makes it impossible to ever be right. Thirdly, Kobe told Bucher that Kobe to Chicago was a done deal. Fourthly, you are aware that the words you're typing can be read by other people, right? Fifthly, I always wanted to say fifthly.

Please learn how to use sarcasm next time. Thanks

I don't think that was sarcasm, and anyway the only appropriate and sensible thing for you to say to that post is, "May I please have my pants back, Mr. Finn?"

Classic post with just about as clutch a last sentence as you could imagine.

How do you find time for such amazing insights when your still trying to convince everyone that Toney Douglas is the guy Lebron would pick to play with over Derrick Rose?

This. When one has just gotten a verbal pie in the face, it's pretty lame to say "please learn how to make better pastry next time."

Don't know if this has been posted already, but Bill Simmons put out a great article here, which I agree with:

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/st ... ortCat=nba

Here are some relevant highlights:

1. LeBron can win an NBA title (or titles) as the best player on a really good team with another leader in place (whether it's a great coach or another player).

2. If LeBron switches teams to a similar situation like what he had in Cleveland these past two years (basically, LeBron and the LeBronettes), that won't translate to titles. (FYI: he finished seven wins short last spring and 10 wins short this spring. Not even close.) Staying in Cleveland, hiring John Calipari and sign-and-trading Jamison and Hickson to Toronto for Chris Bosh ... that's not solving the problem here. Neither will jumping to the Knicks/Clippers/Mavericks.

3. If he cares about winning titles (multiple) and reaching his full potential as a player, he only has one move: the Chicago Bulls. That's always been the play. If you've been listening to my podcast or reading this column, you know that I've been touting this possibility since last winter, and here's why: Deep down, I think LeBron (and just as important, the people around him) realizes that he needs one more kick-ass player to make his life easier. That means Miami or Chicago. And really, I can't imagine him signing with Miami because Wade is almost too good. LeBron wants help, but he doesn't want to be perceived as riding someone else's coattails, either. Dwyane Wade might be the best player alive for all we know -- he certainly was in 2006, and he's been banged-up and trapped on bad teams ever since.

No, Chicago makes more sense. Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah proved that they were warriors these past two springs. They could be his Pippen/Grant or McHale/DJ. Easily. Rose could take the creative load off LeBron on nights that he doesn't have it. Rose could come through a few times in the clutch. Rose could hide some of LeBron's faults. It's the single smartest basketball move for LeBron James. It's the Michael Corleone move.

This is so pathetic. Im glad chicago is a city bigger than any of our athletes.

The funniest thing about the Lebron coverage is how now the coverage is getting covered. I love how ESPN is now saying the coverage is crazy.

OBAMA COMES THROUGH:

http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nba/n ... pn_5189274

Include President Obama as another Chicago Bulls fan rooting for LeBron James to move to Chicago.

"He doesn't want to tamper," senior adviser to the president -- and former Bulls season-ticket holder -- David Axelrod said. "But as a Chicago fan, the president thinks LeBron would look great in a Bulls uniform."

Dude, it's over. We got Com' sense, Obama, and all we need is Oprah and freakin' Mayor Daley to roll out the red carpet.

We can also throw in Kanye, Bill Murray, Vince Vaughn, whoever else we need for the welcoming committee. Nonetheless, it's official; Obama is putting the presidential pressure on LBJ. YES.
