OT: lebron/bosh considering Heat

[Payt10]

Not possible. Keep dreaming though

[Senor Chang]

Miami is the one team i fear this free agency. Mecca, not so much. If Miami gets all three of those guys, i think i may have to take a break for a while.

While its certainly possible for this to happen, don't worry. Lebron's ego won't let him sign somewhere where people will say he needed to piggyback off Wade and Bosh. Its simply not fathomable. Lebron has to lead his own title team of fresh talent for his legacy to take proper shape. He'll play with Bosh, but not WADE and Bosh. I'm confident of it. What you ought to consider grimly is the idea of Bosh and Joe Johnson next to Wade, and then Lebron stays in Cleveland or goes to LA. That would be devastating for the Bulls. And is a way more real possibility than Superteam.

I agree. Lebron winning with Wade would almost be comparible to Kobe and Shaq in that Kobe has to win more than 6 titles to get on MJs level. I hope Lebron realizes this

Lebron would realize that in the end which is very good for us. If he doesn't then we settle on Amare/Boozer for now.

Miami will get one of the stud PFs. Thats it.

[Chi Dynasty12]

LeBron and Wade aren't playing together.

[I speculate] it's down to Cleveland, Chicago, and LAC.

[ikeziskash]

a little feces just slipped beyond my control

[Legendary 33]

LOL at the notion that Bosh would take a paycut

That guy is in it for the money..He wants his max dollars and I don't see him taking anything under it.

I hope LeBron, Bosh also realizes the economic ramifications of joining Wade. That would completely tip the balance of power in the Eastern Conference, and a lot of owners would lose money

[defmut]

Read the article and its ****. Anybody on the 4um would have guess like Adrian Woski.

[fishfuego.]

David Pingalore!

im not very familiar with this guy, whats his deal?

From what I understand, before this guy became involved with the Magic, he used to be involved with the Cavs.

You're ignorant. If they agree to split the Heat's cap space three ways its possible.

[pduh01]

I doubt the Heat or any team can pull it off but I say one thing if some how the Heat do pull it off I am so going to hurt someone I see who wears a Miami Heat Jersey(Heat fans or not.) or if I find out there a Miami Heat fan. :@

It means that if Mickey wants to build a championship team he can afford to take a hit with the luxury tax that's all.

Edit: His updated net worth is 5.8 billion due to a turnaround with Carnival.

As far as the Bulls ownership goes I was unaware that there was a group my apologies.

Ok in theroy it is possible. However its not very plausable. All 3 of these guys have been planing to Opt out eve since they signed thier extions so that they could get more years at max money. It would make no since for them all to take pay cuts.

[hellenicbull]

Do you think any of those guys would let their scoring averages drop to appease
the other? Let alone take a pay cut. I think not!

[Leto]

The more I think about this, the more I see it is unlikely. That's 49.5 mil for three players leaving them 6.6 mil to fill out the roster with nine more players (This is assuming they can even shed all of their current contracts and all of their 1st round picks.). Basically, they would be a three man team for a minimum of one year. That's not a winning team. Even if all three of them averaged 25ppg, that's only 75 points. You aren't winning anything scoring 75 points a game.

[molepharmer]

Even if Bosh & LJ sign with Wade, I'd like to think that a lineup of

e.g. JoeJ, Rose, Deng, Lee & Noah (bench Taj, JamesJ, etc) would be very competitive against
Bosh, LJ, Wade, crap & crap (minimum sal)
