I'm not even going to watch tonight, I'm sick of LeBron, I'm sick of the Heat and I'm sick of the NBA. Football and MMA are it for me now. At least those sports aren't full of morons.

The first one is that with the huge growth in MSG stock, things were going to get out of control. They needed that to come down a little bit, otherwise it could become a complete mess (stocks since dropped).

Second of all, in order to truly recreate a rivalry between the Heat and Knicks, wouldn't it really stir up the fans most to make the Heat look like the frontrunners and then have him sign with the Knicks.

Call it wishful thinking, but I truly believe this Miami leak was orchestrated purposely to make things the way they needed to be prior to 9pm. Lebron to the Knicks, its gonna happen.

Normally, I'm pretty skeptical of conspiracy theories, but this thing seems too well orchestrated with his entourage and one-hour specials and what not.

I agree with you that --if indeed it's LBJ to MSG-- then LeBron's people have a direct financial incentive to get the MSG stock as low as possible in the days leading up to his announcement. It also seems a little too coincidental that this Miami story leaked exactly at the same time that MSG stock saw a 10% spike.

We shall see.

Exactly. They don't want to be buying massive amounts of shares at a premium price. I truly believe it was the Knicks the whole time and they wanted to make it look like it wasn't. If it was leaning too heavily, like it did yesterday, you get what you saw in the stock.

Don't lose faith everybody! By this evening, we will be happy to call Lebron a Knick.

I assume Cleveland and Miami?

Interesting thanks.

I think Bulls and Knicks, been saying that for a while now since a few weeks back.

I'm just going off the rumors. It's interesting that Boozer said that though. Unless he's lying, it's the first bit of info we got out of LeBron himself.

Sports World, the Chitown host did not ask him what he (Boozer) thinks the 2 teams are?

That should be true although we do have some morons out there, just be thankful Isiah is not a GM somewhere.

Believe none of what you read and half of what you see.

That's why even if he announces Knicks, I'm going to wait till he inks the contract to let myself fully relax.

Why the hate on Simmons he is the best and most passionate Basketball writer out there. His Book of Basketball is a must read. Sure he craps on the Knicks but it is good fun and when he does we deserve it

Still not giving up hope, but if LeDrama Queen sign with Miami...I'm not buying NBA 2k11.

He only had that Lebron was leaning towards us. At the end of the day, Lebron is an adult who has to make up his own mind.

I hope we at least get Delonte West, LeBron's new daddy.

If we know we are out of it, why not take Beasley and Toronto's first round pick? Nothing wrong with that.

This wouldn't be the end of the world.

Apparently we are doing a S&T with Pho for Amare, which will net us a little more cap space. With the additional 2M in space we'll get from the increased cap, it just gives us even more money and flexibility, something Miami won't have. We're gonna build a very good team, watch.

Absolutely. If things go south, improvise!
