I am pretty damn sure NO ONE knows where Lebron is going. Outside of like two people

And that is Lebron himself, and Maverick Carter. I don't even believe his Mom, or his babies' momma/Girlfriend Savannah knows.

So while it's fun to speculate, and buy into the rumors...I'm certain EVERYONE is out of the loop. Including NBA execs.

Everyone will be watching ESPN come 9pm ET come tommorow. That's for sure.

I don't particularly have anything to add to the conversation. It just felt like time to have this gif raise its head again.

Boozer to Bulls 5 years 80 million.

Boozer got the MAX. Damnnnnnnn lol.

HarryBagpipe · Post #129 » by **HarryBagpipe** » Wed Jul 7, 2010 8:54 pm

good points....if this lebron hour was in cleveland, chicago or miami it would totally give away where he was signing. Conn. is a pretty neutral location since its where espn is headquartered

Looks like they still have enough for a max contract. The Bulls board is holding out hope for Lebron.

Edit: This is a verbal commitment from Boozer and we all know how well that worked out for the Cavs last time

Well, Chad saif they still have enough for the max (LeBron).

It will be funny to see either NY or Chicago lose out on LeBron, hope he goes to Cle, I could care less as we have Wade+Bosh,Beasley and 17m. 8-)

The Greenwich or Greenich, CT is easy to explain:
- Jay-Z lives there...going to Nets?
- Knicks players live there...Knicks?
- ESPN is close by...they sent out a crew for this...if he went to Bristol it would be pandemonium around ESPN campus...so a 1hr and a half drive would make sense.
- Carmelo is getting married in that town.

Bulls had to overpay for Boozer, and I am glad for him as he is a good guy and a great player who would have been our plan B PF. As for Lebron and Chicago, can't believe after the less then lukeward feeback the press is reporting that Rose is towards him joining his team, I doubt he would make that jump.

HeatSince88 · Post #137 » by **HeatSince88** » Wed Jul 7, 2010 9:04 pm

You guys are underestimating this.

If Boozer got 5yrs/$80M that means his starting salary is about $13M. Thus leaving the Bulls with one max slot of $16.5M.

Not only are they a damn strong team with Rose-Boozer-Deng-Noah already (I say 53 wins), but if LeBron signed for that max slot it would be catastrophic for us. At the least, even if LeBron doesn't sign there, they'll have $16M to spend on some nice role players to go with that core.

I on't think Bron is going there, but getting Boozer at $13M and still having a max slot left is a pretty good deal for them IMO.

Freaking great, we just need to get Bron to finish the trifecta. Woooow

HarryBagpipe · Post #139 » by **HarryBagpipe** » Wed Jul 7, 2010 9:06 pm

i think the boozer signing is irrelevant to lebron. i cant believe he hasnt already decided where to go after booking his hour special. If he hasnt chosen chicago i cant imagine hes suddenly going to change his mind 24 hours before his show just cause boozer picked chicago

I say they trade their cap space next, or they overpay Mike Miller.
