Stephen A. just sold me...I didn't buy it until after this interview.

He's not making broad statements, he's making specific detailed points about the move.

Before the interview they were saying they would throw in some random comment to see how SAS responds. They figured he would respond with some long winded answer but he didn't bite lol

this from that Sun Sentinel article has got me starting to believe. just a little bit. I almost afraid to imagine it. could Riley pull this off?

A source close to Dwyane Wade said the Heat guard believes his team is poised to pull off a free-agency coup of landing himself, Cleveland Cavaliers guard LeBron James and Toronto Raptors forward Chris Bosh.

However that same source, as well as a party inside the league, told the Sun Sentinel that Wade also plans to cover himself during the initial days of the free-agency negotiating period by scheduling interviews with the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, and, in somewhat of a surprise, the Dallas Mavericks.

That interview convinced me. He wouldnt just come out and say this kind of stuff if he wasnt convinced it was going to happen himself

Who watchout.
Were the hell are you Watchout, even I want moldyhobo. :lol:

I get more leery when I hear this type of reports.

But some twitter guys saying Bosh was in a club with 4 old white men in South Beach.
If this stuff taking place, if we nail Bosh quick, my theory always has been, if we get Bosh early.
LeBron would want to tag along.

Because Bulls can give him.
Rose and Boozer
Or Rose and Joe Johnson.

Wade and Bosh is just more attractive. Than any other mix Bulls can offer him.

"...I don't know what that means."

But seriously, I'm getting a little pumped over here.

Recap from the 790 interview: Steven A Smith said he has a source that says LeBron and Bosh are going to join Wade in Miami. He says the source that told him has "never" steered him wrong. He says a second source has confirmed it. He wouldn't reveal any info about the sources. Smith reminded us that he has a track record of breaking stories, from various AI stories, Boozer leaving Cleveland, to Kobe wanting out of LA, to Shaq and Kobe hating each other in LA, etc. And he said he has been persistent with LeBron to the Knicks, but now he has a trustworthy source that tells him LA. The radio host (Dan LeB of the Miami Herald) supported Steven and said that Steven is a trustworthy source who upholds journalistic principles and wouldn't say this unless he actually had a source saying this. The hosts also laughed at him a lot and accused him of putting on a 'dog and pony' act. The other host wondered what Smith has to lose even if he is wrong but Dan says he could lose a lot of credibility.

Personally, I'm not sold. Steven A is a great talker, but he kept saying that his source could be wrong and that he's just reporting what he heard. But he also said this source has been flawless in the past. And another source co-signed it.

Update

One day, LeBron James and Chris Bosh to the Bulls reportedly is "a done deal." The next, James and Bosh reportedly are going to the Miami Heat with Dwyane Wade.

Don't rule out the Cleveland Cavaliers.

At least that's the word from Byron Scott, who told Marc Spears from Yahoo! Sports there's a "50-50" chance James returns to his home state team when free agency begins Thursday. Scott said he's basing that estimation on conversations he has had with people in James' camp.

I think Bosh is almost a lock to come here. He is always here in the offseason he loves miami, he was playing bball today with Luther Campbell, according to Lebatard haha, he was at DJ irie's golf tournament... Bosh is here already. And Lebron's best chance at rings is to come here and play with his best friend Dwade

I believe that SAS believes it's true. We have to hope his source is correct. But this plus Iras version have to put a few more percentage points on the table.

I dont believe it will happen, but at least he is being specific as opposed to other reporters who just claim that player x is going to team x without explaining anything.

How come fans from other teams only update us on rumors that don't involve the Heat? And are extremely quick to do so?

:lol:
