    I don't know about you guys, but something tells me that Harden and Howard aren't exactly the most liked or respected stars in the league.

    If everyone is so confident Lebron is returning to South Beach, you can put your money where your mouth is. This Vegas handicapper is taking your bets through a law firm to hold the money:

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>I will bet ANYONE $1000 that Lebron will be a Cav. Email me at info@vegaskillers.com if you are interested. Retweet Please</p>&mdash; The Shark (@TheSharkVK) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheSharkVK/statuses/486231454620585984">July 7, 2014</a></blockquote>

    He also said that it's possible to break tonight.

    I feel like a fool for getting my hopes up. Dwight spoiled me last year.

    In 2010, Wade and Bosh were around 26, in their primes and offered unlimited potential. In 2014, they're in their 30s, Wade is broken down and they're coming off being destroyed by the Spurs. That's a pretty significant difference.

    I don't know why in the world uncertainty is such a difficult concept for a few of you. I don't necessarily think Bosh is coming. I don't necessarily think he's not. I think it's up in the air, and we need to let the scenario play itself out over the next 48 hours. It's like some of you have this defense mechanism where unless you feel it's 100%, you convince yourself that it's 0% so you can't be disappointed. Sometimes, it's OK to be in the middle.

    $8 mill is different from $20-22mill, and Hayward max is not $20-22mill, melo is a max guy to me u can give him the ball and he will get buckets

    I'm all for bosh been having my SIG as him as best fit, when everyone was sprung on LMA/LOVE.... honestly I don't care what he gets, as long as we can keep daniles a bench etc. as of now it's not sounding like that.

    but it's all about the $$$$$ as of now, that's first thing everyone says about us and BOSH, rockets have MAX deal on table. And he's still not worried only worried about lebron & will take less.

    For those who don't know bosh wife is just like Melos, giving yall the heads up, that's why he said from jump he wants to stay in MIA. She into MIA they just brought a house, she hangs with all the bball wife's likes the status, but hey she will like the money in the H so maybe it happens

    What a FA-period. Noone knows where Bosh, LeBron or Melo end up at - and Love and Rondo could very well be traded.

    Right now I have a feeling that all of these guys will stay with their team. If even one of them leaves, I've got a pretty good feeling we could be the team to get them.

    I thought if lebron wanted the best place to win he was coming here with Howard, harden & parsons ?

    Now we just gotta hope he goes to cle. Just to get bosh...times change quick

    Hayward's max is four-year, $63,011,880 contract, which is $15.75 mil a year.

    Chances are too slim for bosh. It depends on too many dominos falling the right way for him to come. I've quit dreaming at this point and am expecting the worst.

    Pretty much, I don't see lebron leaving...that leaves no chance for us.
    I seriously doubt he goes to the cavs...that team is not better than the heat RIGHT NOW.

    I could see lebron signing a deal where he can leave in 2-3 years, but that doesn't help us.

    Only way we're getting that third piece is via trade where parsons leaves (love or rondo)
    But then again that means he has to agree to go to those places.

    Do we want to be capped out with the prices we currently have?

    We'd be royally ****ed if that happens

    I agree that the Big 3's minds might have been made up about playing with each other. We are talking about maybe an extra 20 million dollars here that Houston is offering more that Miami (if reports of Bosh at $15 million a year for the Heat for 4 years are correct). You really don't think $20 million or more guaranteed money offered to Bosh by Houston is not enticing? Again not saying that Bosh is headed here but its not a slam dunk that he just resigns with Miami either.

    "Kingdrew" told us that we'd know by the end of yesterday.

    I believe there are two or three credible insiders on this board, Kingdrew not being one of them.

    That being said, even insider info at this point, legit or not, is pure speculation for the most part.

    Why? Why are the chances so slim?

    We still don't know. I've been expecting things to be revealed for the past couple of days, but there has just been more and more speculation.

    Does anyone know where Lebron wants to go? We know he has had success in Miami. We know he loves Ohio. We don't know where Lebron is going yet.

    Obviously Bosh's decision will weight a lot on what Lebron does. But if Lebron leaves, which team would Bosh go to instead? Seriously, I can't think of any other team that would even come close to offering what the Rockets would.


    So we don't know. While I wouldn't say the Rockets are the favorites to land Bosh, I would still think they have a much better chance than just slim.

    I'm in full agreement with your last statement. I think it's not a fixed bet either way. It all depends on Lebron.
