Check out what Craig Ehlo said about the idea of Lebron going to Chicago... would Lebron REALLY want to be known as that guy?

Check this one out... now, even if Lebron is considering leaving Cleveland (and I really hope he is), he does still have a lot of love for the area. Would he REALLY be OK with the media from the team he is going to clowning his hometown like this?

[SportsWorld]

And, Chicago is so close to Cleveland.... wouldn't he want to just get the hell away from there? Especially if the Delonte West rumors are true.

Chicago is like 7 hours away from Cleveland. You act like Delonte is going to be able to walk there.

[IamSam]

It would be more like 4-5 hours for this guy

Not sure, depends on how much LeBron pays attention to this stuff.

I appreciate your intelligent look at things anyway. You at least ask the right questions. Where do you hope LeBron goes?

From the Daily Herald in Chicago:
http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=382364&src=150

The buzz Thursday was a rumor that LeBron James has been home shopping on the North Shore and might have gone to lunch with Bulls center Joakim Noah. Anything's possible, but the rumor wasn't taken seriously when league personnel gathered in Chicago for the predraft camp. If James and Noah ever did get together, it's very unlikely they would meet in public.

The truth is, James' camp has made it clear he is very interested in the Bulls. How interested, we won't know for sure until July 1.

I'd love to know who his source is and what the source is saying now.

Jalen seems like he's a little biased to Knicks though. Who knew?

Hey look at what I found from TODAY:

On the May 20th, 2010 Mike and Mike in the Morning, Jalen Rose told Mike and Mike that he coined Wesley's nickname "World Wide Wes."

Decent chance that WWW was who told Jalen that last year.

LOL connecting the dots -- this belongs in the ITGM Epic thread. Of course that thread is here now

LOL true, we are all starting to connect the dots which is great haha. And I still feel that Jalen knows what he is talking about. Let's just hope that hes right

More I think about this, ITGM very possibly did crack The Code lol!

It's weird that 'his team' would be making anything public about the Bulls even if they are interested now. Either it's misreporting by this McGraw guy *or* it's possible that they know that after the Jeffries trade, the idea that this was a set-up with Walsh from the get-go is easy to figure out. The Bulls thing could be a way of throwing off the scent. Some good old fashioned 'Bulls***' to throw off the scent of the Knicks lol.

Or LeBron is really this into the Bulls and they can't help themselves. That seems hard to believe. The Bulls won *one* game in that series and all LeBron did was talk crap to the Bulls bench and in the media about the Bulls, while Noah talked crap about Cleveland. I don't think he's that sold on the Bulls if he's even interested.

In short, ITGM may have nailed this.

This Jalen Rose connection with WWW -- he must have told Rose that info about Bosh and LeBron going to NY back then -- really convinces me even further.

cuban might be accused of tampering. this guy doesnt know how to shutup.

Thnx bro,

If you really think about it, Lebron leaving Cleveland to play in Chicago makes almost zero sense. Is Chicago's supporting cast that much better than Cleveland? Would it really be worth Lebron risking his Legacy in Cleveland to go play in the shadows of Michael Jordan's greatness?? Is Chicago's roster ready to beat Boston or the Lakers if Lebron joins the team? When it all comes down to it, there isn't a single team that could offer the Max to Lebron that would win a championship in 2011 if the King joined them. I said it before and I'll say it again, Lebron's motivation for exploring Free Agency is bigger than basketball. His "Team" does not consist of passionate fans of the game of basketball. His "Team" consists of Lawyers and financial overseers who work through back door channels to get their players signed and positioned in the right place to generate substantial income. Now why in the "World Wide Wes " would WWW & Co pick Chicago and Rose over New York, a Max Cat (Wade or Bosh) and the chance to buy stock into their own franchise? They wouldn't!

Alot of people think the knicks don't have a shot, cause they don't think they can give lebron that second all star to pair with. If knicks can sign bosh, I swear all the media and BSPN will say the knicks are the favorites and have a legitimate shot. Just get that second guy and the knicks will be the odds on favorite to get lebron plain and simple. Let the haters hate and all the media, and all the trolls have their fun now, but if that day comes where the knicks sign a bosh or amare, and lebron hasn't decided yet, all of them will be singing a different tune.

Whata fascinating is how it will work out.

Will Lebron come alone then the next day Bosh meets him at MSG to talk?

Do we get Bosh to first? What if Bosh says he wont sign until Lebron commits?

Fascinating

Why wouldn't they both be announced together and there is one monster press conference? You get them together.
