    Do you think maybe LeBron is just dragging this out with the belief that Bosh and the Rockets won't wait any longer and sign a deal. And then LeBron decides to stay in Miami with Wade and anyone else they can recruit. Maybe LeBron just doesn't want to play with Bosh anymore, but just can't bring himself to say that to Bosh.

    I just don't understand what is taking LeBron so long.

    They need to redo the Asik trade, I believe.

    Agents get paid a percentage of what the players make so you better believe bosh's agent will get him to sign it as soon as lebron announces his decision. If lebron stays he will prob ask heat to give him a 5 yr deal close to the max

    OR...

    Let Parsons' walk...finish the trades with New Orleans and Phili for Asik and Lin respectively. Then retool roster with team friendly contracts.

    He has to make his mind up soon. We have to complete the Asik trade which is said to be in jeopardy and trade linn. That doesn't just happen real fast.

    I'm pretty certain LeBron will sign with Cleveland and we'll get Bosh. The holdup is simply for marketing purposes.

    Heat fans don't know LeBron's a free agent.

    Dwight putting pressure on Les.

    Enough talk by Les. Lets see if he can walk the walk when and if the time comes.

    Why is the pressure on Les? He's shown nothing but positive affirmation that he's willing to spend whatever it takes if it means bringing a championship contender to Houston. Dwight's just correcting a dumb ass on twitter running his mouth.

    So I'm in and out of these boards today...

    Can we still sign Bosh to whatever max he is looking for "before" the Asik and Lin trade becomes official?

    If not shouldn't we be hearing a lot of chatter about how close the deals of Lin and Asik are happening within the next 24 hrs?

    Big cavs fan and thought I'd pass along some information. I'm hearing Lebron is announcing his return tomorrow. (Finally, TGIF) Heard it from my buddy, Marcus, who knew about his departure to miami before I heard it from anyone else. Marcus is close with Damon jones. Lebron is waiting on nike to finish up their add campaign. Everything is set up for an announcement tomorrow. Also Damon is trying to get into coaching and hopes to get a spot with cavs further down the line but don't know the possibility with blatt here. (Dont flame the messenger just passing along what I've heard from what I consider a close friend)

    That above was from the chat room on cavsfans.com...i cant link as the chat is still alive but the guys says he has close connections
