Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA 15 mins James has plans to fly to World Cup over the weekend. Heat and Cavs expect his decision before he leaves for Brazil, sources tell Yahoo. Expand Reply Retweet Favourite More Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA 17 mins Dwyane Wade expected to be on a flight back to Miami with LeBron James tonight, league sources told Yahoo. They had been together in Vegas.
D-Wade is probably the one guy who could keep Lebron in Miami. I don't think Lebron would even be thinking about going anywhere if he really believed that Wade was still an all-star level player. Wade is probably telling Lebron to stick with him for 2 more years and he'll deliver a championship in 1 of those years. He's also probably reminding Lebron of how he went out of his way to shield Lebron from criticism after the 2011 NBA finals debacle and volunteered to change his game to be the second option and let Lebron run the team, which was the formula that led them to 2 championships. He is asking Lebron to return the favor after Wade was a critical no-show in the 2014 NBA finals. I thought Lebron was leaning Cleveland, but all this time that Wade is spending with Lebron suggests that Wade will have a big say in Lebron's decision.
If Lebron stays in Miami, I just want them to ice out Bosh and make him feel unwelcome.... Either that, or hopefully Miami only offers him like 10m.
Welp. Woj just says Bosh will be a Rocket if Lebron leaves. Good enough for me. Hopefully Lebron gives us some good news tomorrow.
Still 2.5 days. Lebron announces no later than tmrw. Plenty of time to sign Bosh or complete Asik/Lin trades and sign a good player or two with the cap space before deciding on Parsons. I say he'll be a Rocket regardless. Morey don't like losing assets for nothing. Parsons can be a key piece at the trade deadline.

Since my gut was dead on about what was going to happen to Parsons,I'll just voice my opinion on the Lebron situation. My take on it is, he is going to stay in Miami, Bosh is going to reup withered and we are going to be left holding our dicks unwilling to give Chandler that monstrous contract. Dallas wins this round and we have to reassess our plans.
