The National Basketball Association star LeBron James has announced that he's joining fellow free agent stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh at the Miami Heat.
The reigning and two-time NBA Most Valuable Player ended weeks of silence and drama with his announcement on an ESPN television special.
James leaves the Cleveland Cavaliers after an unsuccessful seven-year quest for the NBA championship.
This **** doesn't make sense because they're the ones who agreed to meet Lebron on Saturday. How are you gonna agree to his timetable then get mad in the middle of it?
A sliver of a shred, I will grant you that. But I think Wade is just goofing around before he signs with Miami and I think Bosh is just goofing around before he signs with...anybody.
Bosh is the one who is enjoying all the attention more than anyone.

I don't know I saw in the Bulls forum where Wade is meeting the Bulls again tonight..with his agent...he's looking at Riley whiff on everybody and he's saying he might as well bring Bosh up here with Rose, Deng and Noah.
Re: Probably False: Bulls threatening to pull Lebron offer?
I'd like to see Rose get a really good team around him, but Wade plus Bosh is starting to enter "knocking off the Lakers" territory. Hopefully they don't get all of that talent.

Re: Probably False: Bulls threatening to pull Lebron offer?
For those keeping track at home, there's a change in LeBron James' schedule Saturday: He'll meet with the Cavs first, followed by the Bulls -- a flip-flop of the original schedule. Why? Well, there are indications that the Bulls, in a pre-emptive strike to force the free-agent dominoes to start tumbling, have told James they want a decision on whether he'll accept their offer by the end of the day Saturday. It's not known if that is the only reason for the change of plans, but it seems to be a sensible explanation.
Re: Update: Lebron to meet Chicago last; they want answer by tommorow
Man, I feel for LBJ being jerked around by the big bad Bulls. He ever so desperately wants to play for them......
Seriously? This is the time you play hardball with the greatest athlete in the league? You only play tough with him when you have nothing to lose. In this situation they're going to look like total *******s and I hope Rose leaves them for being stupid.

Re: Update: Lebron to meet Chicago last; they want answer by July 3rd
LeBron is like a bigger and better version of Wade. Wade is a bigger and better version of Rose. They're all the same player. That's a ton of freaking talent, but I'm not sure how it would mesh. Some of these teams need to be smarter with constructing a team and stop chasing names. You can get away with two of those three together if you stick a shooter in the backcourt with them. Otherwise, teams will pack it in the paint and they won't be able to make them pay for it.

Rose and Wade dont work well together, but they should think of trading Rose, guy will net them a valuable piece to play with Wade. Getting Wade is a major coup.
Re: Update: Lebron to meet Chicago last; they want answer by July 3rd
If you have Wade and Lebron on the wings you'd need yourself a Steve Nash or Chris Paul type passer. Ideally you'd just have both of those guys finishing and the point guard only making the decision on which one got the ball. That's far from Rose's strength. Rose would become totally redundant, at least as a starter. He's not better at anything than either of those guys. Obviously he's too good a player to be given a completely supporting role
C'mon Dre, that's why everybody is talking about the whole "one ball" thing.
You can work with 2..now 3 ball-dominators, seems like a stretch. You'd have to run some crazy **** like Calipari's dribble-drive offense with that. :laugh:

An opportunity to have two of the three best players in the league would take precedence over just about anything. Rose would adapt.
