    Broussard:

    This doesn't mean he's out of Miami. It could mean a long term deal or a one year deal. It gives him options. He likes to keep his options open.

    4 years ago they were all with CAA. Now, Rich Paul is LeBron's agent. They may not work in concert. They still may. They're good friends. They'll talk. LeBron will make this decision on his own. This is his decision. He'll do what he wants.

    He wants to see how are you going to improve the roster? If he feels he's better off elsewhere, he'll go.

    What places could Carmelo and LeBron team up?

    He and 'Melo are friends. I'm sure they'll talk. How many teams have the cap room? The Lakers? Those two with Kobe Bryant? I don't see that for both of them as a great option. I don't think that's going to happen. Dallas will have plenty of money. New York cannot bring in LeBron right now. Chicago can't bring in both. Chicago is interested in Carmelo. Will they look at LeBron? Then there's Miami. That leaves an option.

    Wade and Bosh are open to taking less with a longer contract. LeBron, I think he would be open to taking less but we shouldn't make an assumption he won't ask for the max or get the max.

    Decision 2.0?

    I don't know. He's obviously going to listen to teams. It's his prerogative to go visit places. Players often go visit other clubs. Dwight had everyone meet with him in LA. I don't know how LeBron will do it. I assume he'll listen to other pitches but not sure if it's one spot or other places.

    No TV show or preseason parade?

    That's the only certainty.

    Will Melo go to Miami to form a new big 3 with Wade and Bosh?

    Probably not unless Wad and Bosh resign for less and Lebron signs somewhere else. Miami would like be able to offer Melo less than 10 million a year. Plus he would be signing with a very incomplete roster.

    Looks like Lebron is calling out Arison and Riley. IE, don't talk about what you're going to do, show me...

    Would anyone be surprised if other teams aren't in a hurry to help Miami shore up their roster to keep Lebron?

    Time for the Morey magic!

    Is there a big name FA that Rockets is not interested or "pushing for"?

    Everyone wants LeBron, there is no secret, and why is this "news" worthy? Seriously, I'd rather the GM prepare for the "push" in the background, instead of busy announcing that we are going to trade this piece or that piece, and we are going to get Love, Rondo, Melo, LeBron, and Hakeem.
