The LeBron Thread

[EnigmatiC]

the mods on this board need to start cracking down on these trolls (specifically ones from the 2nd city) this board is becoming impossible to read.

Eh...from my short time here, I've noticed that mods are pretty laid back on what you can get away with on this board (When it comes to insulting others). I mean, shoot, remember how the Cavs trolls used to talk to KnicksGod?

Bosh does not "know he has a better chance of winning with LeBron than anyone".

What a homer statement. How can you objectively say Bosh and LeBron on anyteam would be best? For example, take say Bosh on the Rockets? Bosh, Yao, Aaron Brooks, Ariza, Scola, Battier - is that absolutely worse than Bosh and LeBron?

Here's a newsflash that should end this thread but won't. You haven't signed either player yet. So every time a knick poster says you'll sign one because you are pairing him with the other - it's pure fiction and shows your lack of critical objectivity.

I've even seen posters list the lineup with Bosh already in it to make the argument why LeBron would come. It's hilarious.

BTW - the Warriors just did a sign and trade of Ant Rand for Amare - check this lineup:

Monta
Steph Curry (LeBron's friend)
SF???
Amare
Biedrinis

Looks like LeBron will be the SF, look at that lineup.

You shouldn't be name calling when your argument is that he can go to the Warriors. That shows an embarrassing lack of understanding about the real-world dynamics. If you want to speak theoretically, the Thunder can S&T for him too. But do you honestly think he'll consider playing in OKC?

He has the best chance to win with Bosh on the Knicks than any other single player on a team he will actually want to play. Better than Rose who is not that great and overlaps with LeBron. Bosh and LeBron won't get in each other way. Rose and LeBron could very well get in each other's way. And the Bulls don't have a single good shooter on their whole roster.

And that assumes he does want to play in Chicago -- I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt on that although I'm still dubious personally, although that's neither here nor there.

On talent alone, the Knicks have better pieces for LeBron than any team LeBron would actually go to this summer (that's important right?) and that includes the Bulls and their good young point guard who doesn't have a 3-point shot and needs the ball to be effective.

I know it's laid back here and I love that about our mods but it seems other posters take advantage on here by calling people idiots, talking down to our posters/team, and just using general troll tactics. It really makes this an unpleasant place to talk hoops and that's too bad because this is such an important time for our franchise.

I know what you mean. What's worse is that it's pretty obvious that most of these other posters have hardly even seen our core pieces play. They know damn near nothing about our players, and yet feel that they're prepared enough to give their 2 cents on our situation.

^If your argument is that Bosh will not come, then fine. That's a separate argument. We have the cap space for him and the chance to play with LeBron in NY. If he doesn't come, it will harm our chances at LeBron.

The Bulls have Rose under contract but they also don't have a complete roster so I guess Bulls fans should say they have no chance at LeBron because they don't have all the players they'll need to win a title with him. Even if Rose and LeBron don't get in each other's way, which I think they will, you're still not winning a title without a single reliable 3-point shooter (as well as no post scoring). And you'll have no money to get one either.

oh you see but you forget they always have the option of trading Luol Deng for Chris Bosh or Dwyane Wade because as you know every team wants a mediocre player with a nice long contract.

And as far as Bosh giving up the chance to play in New York with LeBron, consider this:

"I like the Garden. The Garden has always been a fantastic place for me to play," Bosh said. "It was sort of the first big stage I ever played on in the McDonald's [all-star] game when I was in high school. I've been there every year since then. It's kind of special to me. A lot of greats have played there. It's just one of those special courts."

Bosh also said NY is his favorite city to visit.

I like our chances of landing him either way.

I've heard that one before. Deng and his $60M and mediocre play. Someone is going to leap at that contract.

Loop is making himself look like an idiot. just stop man.

Well you remember when Bulls fans thought they were gonna trade Deng for Kobe a few years back

[Jstarks3]

and apparently we're the idiots.

Nevermind superstars, when have two players conspired to land on the same team at the same time? It's just unusual and kinda pathetic. "Uhh, I'll go if you go..." These guys have other legit choices.

If Lebron wants to play with Bosh and vice versa that badly you don't think Chicago can swing that deal?

Uh, Deng/Hinrich and a couple firsts for Bosh. Then sign Lebron.

How 'bout that?

(btw, "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."

lol Deng/Hinrich for Bosh.

[Starksfor3]

This guy seems out of the "loop".

[EnigmatiC]

I mean does he know that Toronto has to actually accept that offer in order for Bosh to go to Chicago??

[Loop]

So Bosh wants to play with Lebron so badly he tags along with him to NY but he wouldn't demand Toronto trades him to Chicago and get some value back to play with Lebron, Rose and Noah?

You know Bosh wants a sign and trade done. What are you guys giving up again?
