We're obviously not sure if this is true, but damn, I wish i was like a Bear who could just hibernate until July...

so an Orlando sportscaster has the inside track on what the guy from Cleveland and Toronto want, and it's going to Miami?

[Lane1974]

that being said
giggity
I can't help it.

[twix2500]

I just find it funny how anyone couldnt speculate that we were a serious option. He doesnt really say much in my opinion.

[YounG_A]

this is great news if its true....
It just takes 1 of them to sign with MIA so the other one thinks long and hard about joining MIA as well.

Stories like this will pop up for the next 30 days for every team with cap room. Try not to get too high or too low with your excitement or despair from them.

All we can do is wait....

Pingalore was a Cleveland sports anchor for years FWIW, so there is a decent possibility of a Cavs/LeBron source.

[MiamiHustlin]

i dont give a damn if any of these rumors are untrue...because they sure do make me feel good!!

i mean seriously, we havent had a big name free agent sniff us in years because of our mediocrity...this summer is going to be awesome!!

Did someone say Pinga Whores?

[Vertical Limit]

Yeah let's not get too excited. Maybe Wade gave them both a call the last 3 days, he said he will start recruiting.

Let's not set ourselves up for disappointment by bragging on the other boards, they will fire us back with quotes if they both don't end up in Miami.

[MVP-3]

After we get a max free agent along side Wade.. then we can brag .


seriously, stuff like this will be said for a while. If both want to come then I hope pat has some idea of how he will get rid of cook,jones and Beas

[Iputsomepantson]

I bet Bosh and Lebron are seriously considering playing for NY too. That's what good businessmen do, look at all of the options and weigh them. Just because they are considering us as an option though doesn't make this news. I'm not getting my hopes up until I hear a headline stating something along the lines of: "Lebron and Bosh sign with Heat."

[CoolD]

I listened to the Larry King interview, I felt LeBron will leave Cleveland.
He said to the team I go to, and then he did cover his bases but it came like an afterthought he said or if I stay in Cleveland. I just got the sense how he responded mentally he is more out of Cleveland. Kind of like Bosh, after his Raps fans got mad about his twitter comment of asking people to what team he should go, he later added if he also stayed comment, it seem a bit weak confirmation.
He did this twice of first saying the team I go to, and then he did say or I stay in Cleveland.
Also when responding the question about hooking up, he said if a team with one or two other guys
Meaning it sounded like LeBron wanted to hook up with more than one.
Knicks fans assume like he just would be happy with Bosh.
But I got the sense he actually wants Bosh and lets say Joe Johnson, I don't think Bosh and Gallinari would cut it.
Meaning that LeBron would like a combination in his team.
Bosh and Joe Johnson.
Bosh and Dwyane Wade.
and also maybe
Bosh and Derrik Rose

Question is.
Any other team beside's the Bulls.
Can the Knicks get.
Bosh, Joe Johnson and LeBron.
I think that Curry Contract is going to hang on their neck.
If we can move Beasley, Cook and James Jones.
Get Wade and Bosh first
LeBron would probably choose us.

Just can't see Lebron coming to Miami-Wade County. Guy has the ego the size of Africa.

I think he's going to the Knicks. Guy has made it known that he's infatuated with the New York Market. And I think he's going to get on both knees and beg Bosh to come with him. He's going to sell Bosh the angle of the major marketing oppritunites that will come with reviving basketball in New York, and I believe Bosh is going to eat that up.

I think we get Stoudemire. And I think there's a strong possibility of another bold move happening after acquiring Stoudemire...

When you hear a guy like Dennis Scott about how much a pain in the ass the media is in NY.
Also read somewhere New York you are under the biggest microscope. Also read that the Knicks traded away their future picks.
They still have 11 million to give to Eddy Curry.

I think is more the Bulls. Yes the shadow of Jordan might be intimidating, but I think they have Noah and Kirk Hinrich to work with in a sign and trade with the Raptors create space for Bosh and LeBron and Derrick Rose.

If LeBron is also able to get even Joe Johnson in Cleveland they might have a shot for him to stay.
I think New York is more the overhyped media story, ofcourse if the Knicks would of have gotten someone like Stephen Curry in last years draft.
NY would have a great selling point.
Stephen Curry, Gallinari, LeBron, Bosh.

Once Eddy's contract ends. You finish filling out. The fact NY doesn't have picks, they haven't developed any star potential young talent, is going to to bite them hopefully.

Also am not sure if LeBron see's D'Antoni as championship coach.
I think is Bulls, Cavs, and maybe us, if we get Bosh first.

[miamiballer]

trade beasley, cook, future 1st at draft day for 2nd rd pick

sign wade, lebron, bosh al to 5 yr max deals with 3 yr opt out in case they want to leave again

win championships

[Iputsomepantson]

I don't think there is a chance Lebron goes to the Bulls. Yeah Rose is a good player, but he's not a top-tier player and Lebron I think will player better with a PG more scoring oriented rather than pass oriented since Lebron is at his best when he's setting up plays for people.

And Noah? When did he become a talent that is marketable to play with? Haslem and Wade >>>> Noah and Rose

[miamiballer]

IMO its cle, mia, ny and chi

NJ and LAC no way

if we clear beasley and cook

we tell lebron that he and bosh can team with wade in s. beach and form the greAtest team of all time....that may be too tempting

I don't think there is a chance Lebron goes to the Bulls. Yeah Rose is a good player, but he's not a top-tier player and Lebron I think will player better with a PG more scoring oriented rather than pass oriented since Lebron is at his best when he's setting up plays for people.

And Noah? When did he become a talent that is marketable to play with? Haslem and Wade >>>> Noah and Rose

I think they can trade Noah and Deng
Or Noah or Hinrich to Colangelo in a sign and trade.
Creating the opportunity of
Rose, LeBron and Bosh

The thing is most Bulls fans think they can keep Noah and still have LeBron and just sign and trade Deng and Hinrich for Bosh.
But I think if they are willing to give Noah in a sign and trade to the Raptors.
Then they can have a shot at LeBron.
Rose, and Bosh plus LeBron is very good selling point.
I agree Noah is overrated gimmick, but the fact he is overrated would make it easy on the Bulls to sign and trade him for Bosh, thus creating space for Bron too.
