    This seems most likely realistic... The only way I think Rockets can get Bosh if we get one of his buddies to join as well.. Hint * Wade *

    Who knew that Dwayne Wade was gonna be the leader of the free agent class?

    He has the most credentials out of anybody in the free agent class. I would rather play with Wade than LeBron.

    But why would they want to be in the same conference playing against each other?

    I would guess they'd hate to meet in the ECF playing against each other.

    I would love to see these guys try to team up, or even go 2 to one team & 2 to another, and still not make the finals ... unless the Rox get 'em of course.

    I hope that Wade convinces one of them to come to Houston!

    I doubt Wade and Lebron are going to be on the same team. Way I see it, this is which FA can convince Chris Bosh to join them.

    Rockets are hosting their own summit with the Black Chris Bosh and the Black Joe Johnson being joined by the Human Power Forward. Yao Ming might also be there.

    Wade and Lebron are obviously the two least likely to want to move...i think they'll each, along with JJ, try to persuade their current teams to complete a trade for bosh....then if that doesn't work out they'll consider forcing a trade to wherever bosh ends up. I just can't see any combo of JJ, lebron, and wade pairing up. They all know they need a legit superstar big man and that's what they're all lacking.

    I'd be surprised if three of them end up on a team...too complicated of a move and no one can afford them directly. What's the largest paycut they can take?

    pg toney douglas
    sg johnson
    sf lebron
    pf gallo
    c curry

    bench
    wilson chandler and I believe 6 min contracts

    that team is a train wreck without lebron. No way he goes to nyc. Chicago or cleveland imo.

    but it would be kind of cool to see all 4 of those guys take massive pay cuts and join forces......ON THE ROCKETS!!

    Sounds like collusion to me! Does the NBA have a rule against it? Y :p

    Ok this is getting out of hand. Nike is not NY. Nike is a corporation and makes its business selling shoes and other sports related gear. Like all corporations it is publicly traded and owned by people ALL ACROSS THE WORLD.

    Paying LBJ, Wade, Bosh etc. to market shoes is one thing, what's the justification for paying all these guys extra just so they can play in NY? Even if everyone in NY start switching to Nike, would that be enough to recoup the financial hit Nike will take by paying these four guys 80 million a year or 400$ million in 5 years in addition to the endorsements they are already paying them?

    NY is not even Nike's world headquarters, I just looked it up and they're based in Washington County, Oregon. If they really wanted to have all these guys play in one area, wouldn't it make more sense to convince them to play with Roy in Portland?

    Conspiracy theories are fine however let's start using some common sense here, people :rolleyes:

    Look, there's 0 chance all four of these guys will play in one franchise. Scratch that, I don't care where JJ plays, he's overrated and been exposed every single time in the playoffs. Bosh, Wade and LBJ may decided to play in just 1 franchise, however they will all have to take a paycut and all three of them will take the cap. Even if Bosh and LBJ decide to go to NY, just those two guys will erase the cap. The days of Shaq and Kobe are gone. No matter how good you are, two guys aren't gonna cut it when teams like the Celtics have 4 all stars or the Lakers have Kobe, Gasol, Bynum and Odom in the squad. You have to have a decent supporting cast.
