Broussard: Wade/Bosh to Miami

Ndgt10 · Post #861 » by **Ndgt10** » Wed Jul 7, 2010 5:21 pm

Wow, a team with Lebron, Wade, and Bosh on it would absolutely roll the Bulls. Lets hope that doesn't happen because the next 6 years would be a waste of time.

Man Riley know how to close the deal!

Wade's heart is nowhere near Chicago. It is firmly entrenched in Miami. Shame on him for trying to 'smooth things over' with Chicago. Dude, just say your heart was in Miami with the fans that have supported you all this time and be done with it.

Three months ago, Wade/Bosh was a given to most of us, so I'm not shocked or disappointed. The hype last week made this decision that much more heartbreaking because it seemed like a real possibility at the time.

I don't know these guys personally. I don't know how difficult it is to make a decision like that. I don't wish any ill towards Wade or Bosh. But as a Bulls fan, I hope we kick their ass everytime we play them on the court.

I remain slightly optimistic on LeBron still. It's hard to imagine giving up top dog status to Wade in Miami (because that's his team). I'm kinda leaning on the likelihood that this press conference is designed to soften the blow of leaving Cleveland. I'm scared as hell of New York right now. Oh sure we laughed at them for giving Stoudemire and his Abe Vigoda knees 100 million dollars to play there, but he's still a productive offensive presence in the paint and could be the kind of player LeBron wants to partner up with.

Stop. Riley is no mastermind. This is a move completely run by the players themselves. It was completely out of everyone's hands - owners, coaches, 'experts', everyone except those three guys.

At the end of it, I still respect Wade more than any of these other guys, but please spare us with your heart. It doesn't do us any good if you don't have the guts to follow it. Nothing personal, but you're not "our boy." We need to boo you. Don't be sad. It's just business.

It's not our high horse. Wade put himself on the high horse.

Then he jumped off.

Wade's comments. Wade's words.

+1

I don't think anyone would even be mentioning the kids if he didn't play that card.

RT @KCJHoop Wade says "there was a time where things kind of swung" to the Bulls but that Bosh wanted to play in Miami. http://bit.ly/czoaz3 less than a minute ago via web

Wade was getting choked up... Ugh he's full of ish!

This all rings false to me. I think this was set up weeks ago. Chicago was just a convenient dupe to make it look like there wasn't blatant tampering going on. By putting the blame on Bosh, Wade gets a lot less flak from his hometown.

The Bulls (and their fans) got played. Shame on us for not believing what was right in front of our faces.

Now it's time for Riley to show us how loyal the Heat is and take over as head coach.

"Wade and Bosh announced their decision to play together in a live interview on ESPN at 12:30 p.m. ET. But a person with knowledge of their plans said Wade, in particular, is aggravated that the news leaked out sooner -- and that the superstar believes it came from someone in LeBron's camp. Wade and Bosh wanted to have their moment before James makes his own announcement -- the nature of which remains unknown -- in a live, one-hour special Thursday at 9 p.m. ET on the network that shares the NBA broadcast rights."

Before anything else. Thank you Toronto. I wouldn't be here without you all and I will miss you. Your support and love kept me going. less than a minute ago via UberTwitter

If Bosh really is going to Miami, isn't it time to sign Boozer regardless of what Lebron is going to do?

Amare is gone and there are only 2 PFs left - Boozer and Lee. We have to sign one of them so why wait any longer? Lebron has not indicated that he prefers Boozer over Lee so I don't see any point in waiting for press conference. Boozer could still sign with the Clippers or the Nets before Thursday evening.

I'm pretty sure it's not tampering if a guy is a free agent.

He better enjoy South Beach, until his VD catches up with him, because I doubt Chicago will ever welcome him back. In fact Chicago should wash it's hands of Wade and come out and say that Derrick Rose is the best player from Chicago playing in the NBA.

Yeah, I am totally buying it. Time for someone to injure Chris Bosh on the same day he signs with Miami like his butt buddy.
