Privately, Dwyane Wade(notes) and Chris Bosh(notes) weren’t pleased on Wednesday morning with the belief that James’ camp was responsible for leaking their plans to a television partner, but then again it makes perfect sense: This isn’t about Wade and Bosh choosing the Heat. It’s about LeBron getting the stage to himself on Thursday night.

The entire article is absolutely brutal on Lebron. Link here

I gave my verdict on that article earlier on. Like i said the first two paragraphs sum up lebron james in a nutshell. self obsessed, fame hungry and greedy.

He's the Terell Owens of the NBA

I loved that article.

now that I think about it 10 mil per year is too much,I guess he wasn't ready to take less money to play for Miami.

So did I because i'm sick of people putting LeBron on a holy pedestal and there are actually writers out there who see it as it is. I'm telling you Wade is a better person, athlete and player than the so called King, it's your choice whether to agree with me or not.

But like i said before, i would take LeBron in a heartbeat despite all this.

I'm glad Ray Allen signed, that means he's not going to the Bulls and a giant hole at SG for them.

I'm taking Rondo without hesitation, for me what he did in the playoffs was astounding. I mean the numbers he put up were crazy and he's only 24!
Either him D-Will or CP3 but Rondo is the best PG in the league for me. Do any of you know when his contract is up?

He s def top 3 but cp3 put up crazy numbers when he almost(and should have) beat Kobe for MVP in his 3rd season and lead his team to 2nd in the east. The only reason i wudnt take cp3 is hes ball dominant and if i cud choose any PG it wud be a good off ball spot up shooter who can pass

I agree to an extent but i still think Rondo has really come to the fore now and willing to make the pass more than CP3 because to be honest the only player i want to see the ball in their hands the most is of course Wade.

Fyi.....Knicks are desperately trying to make last-ditch effort to sway LeBron. NIKE's hoping it'll work. It won't!

I can't believe we are one decision, albeit a HUGE one, away from SAS being completely right with his report of all 3 joining up 4 days before July 1st.

Post #376 » by **mopper8** » Thu Jul 8, 2010 1:53 am

Wouldn't want Rondo, dude has no range on his shot at all. Very talented play-maker, but we want someone who fits with Wade, and Wade is a P/R guard, and you need to space the floor around P/R guys with shooters.

If I could have my choice, it'd be either Deron or CP3 probably, because they're both so damn good and can shoot.

If you're looking for a more complimentary piece, I'd take Chauncey Billups for a couple seasons, also Jason Kidd could work well.

Just like I thought it would happen.....On the night that Lebron is on TV making the decision, Wade says he is going out of town, Bosh all of a sudden delays his arrival to Miami, and the press conference is on Friday........Guess where Bosh and Wade will really be at on Thursday evening at 9 PM......

So is there any updates with a potential trade with Portland? I'm reading a Chalmers + pick for Rudy Fernandez?

Topping a weak FA field @ their positions, word is center Haywood and PG Felton seek about $8-10 mill a yr. 2 hi 4 Heat?

In Riley We Trust.
