I'm with that...I can't say with certainty what will happen. But if you're asking what I think will happen, it's that the Big 3 will still be in MIA next season. That's my guess.
I would happily take a potential roster of Beverley/Harden/Parsons/Bosh/Howard over the potential roster of Irving/Wiggins/Lebron/Thompson(Bennett(?))/Varejao(?)
King drew is a fake. I called him out last year during last summers free agency. He's full of s h i t. Can't believe people believe a word he says. As far as I'm concerned, there's only three insiders here, that's Cyberx, codman, and doc rocket.
previous friendship, comfort in knowing whats expected of him and how he needs to play, staying in the same city etc. going to Houston could be a great fit for him but its a lot of unknowns from a personal perspective
I agree completely, joining a new team, no matter how good, has to bring up some concerns. But my question was more to the point that htown1984 thinks Bosh isn't making up his own mind.
It's disappointing that we can't attract Lebron when we can offer him 22m per. It comes down to coaching. They don't believe in the coaching staff. They don't believe in the track record. We should have tried to hire JVG. I think that could have put us over the top. At worst, we roll out next season with a real head coach. Morey and Les can't admit they were wrong. Or they may have..Idk. I hope I'm wrong but it's looking bleak right now. Morey will have to work the phones like he always does to get that player via trade and he doesn't have much time to do so. It's that or someone like Deng. Smh.
The difference is that players play FOR Lebron, they would play WITH Howard and Harden But one thing to note is that out of all the bigs that we thought would benefit from McHales tutelage, Bosh would be the most receptive and IMO be able to translate it more to his game than all the others.
I don't think kind drew claimed to be an insider. he just reports what he hears. kinda like us posting tweets we find. it's almost the same level. anyhow I'm glad your on your high horse about calling some one out on their bs. I laughed when I read your statement
I don't understand why people bash the Cavs as a terrible team. Wherever Lebron goes that team is instantly a 50 win team and he's proven it by taking an 07 team where Larry Hughes was the highest paid player to the finals and has made Mike Brown a coach of the year. IF Lebron goes back to Cleveland he has a superstar to play with in Kyrie Irving, has a potential superstar in Kevin Love (where Love has said he'd extend if Lebron were there and it's been reported a wiggins deal for Love could work), championship rings to his resume and most importantly there's no question marks if he can get help (all major pieces would be under long term contracts). Call me crazy but a tandem of Irving, Lebron, and Love is way better than Lebron/old wade/X, especially in the East (who would be the legitimate other team to beat? The wizards?). On top of all of that Lebron can do it in Cleveland, which helps his legacy. I'm not saying its a lock he goes to Cleveland but the Cavs would easily be the favorites in the east. Just my opinion.
ESPN's Bosh to Houston agenda is strong. This could really work in our favour (if you're a fan of having Bosh on this team).
Nobody really thought Houston was a legit option. I've been saying that LeBron would either go back to Cleveland, or stay with the Heat. It would hurt his image to just go hopping from one super stacked team to another. People would understand if he went back to the Cavs to take care of unfinished buisness. The most trustworthy 'insider' on here, IMO, is Codman. cyberx is meh, not sure how good his info is, because he was wrong on a lot of things pertaining to Dwight's signing last year (aside from Houston having a legit shot at signing him).
Miami has a lot of unknowns for him as well right now. What are the current players they have on their roster? Norris Cole Justin Hamilton (?) Shabazz Napier Justin McRoberts Danny Granger Currently, that's it. Sure, they can get other guys like Ray Allen. And it is pretty much assumed that Dwyane Wade will be back. And of course Lebron would change everything. But their whole roster is still mostly an unknown, and we are just waiting for a couple of key decisions to be made, notably from the best player in the NBA. I think it is completely fair for Bosh to wait to see how that situation turns out. But I don't think that Miami is a sure thing for any of them right now.
I think this should be emphasized. Not saying anyone is right or wrong. I take their information as it is. Just because they're wrong doesn't mean they aren't an "insider". An insider is only as good as their sources
Bosh also has two, count 'em, two mansions in South Florida. I think he and his family really like the lifestyle and being in title contention every year. Obviously, Lebron jetting off to Cleveland changes everything. However, if I were Bosh, I would be concerned if Lebron does only opt in for one year. There is clearly a massive personal connection with Ohio and his wife is seemingly gung ho to return. The Return seems inevitable at some point. Does Josh McRoberts move the needle that much?
I think common sense is the more difficult concept around these parts. For me personally, you being in the middle is pretty difficult to comprehend. I love your takes, but they're usually pretty homer. Not that there's anything wrong with it!
you only get so many open windows where teams can create max cap space for your ego. If he wants Cleveland and the max, it's now or never. Otherwise, he can wait until he's finished with the majority of his career and have his swan song in Cleveland.
