Just got off the phone with a friend who works with ***** at the ******. Only 15 or so people know and the teams themselves won't be sure until the actual press conference. I wanted to keep it a secret but with the decision only a couple hours away... Spoiler LeBron going to New York Everything else has been intentionally leaked by LRMR. This is legit.
I agree, but coaching can only make so much of a difference when the talent-level isn't up to par. The Williams-Parker-LBJ-Jamison-Big Z lineup just doesn't stack up talent-wise to the Lakers, Celtics, Magic, or even Mavs/Nuggets of the world. And they have no real assets/flexibility to use for upgrades. If winning is the most important thing, I think we can all pretty much agree that Miami/Chicago are much more appealing than Cleveland.
Damn Riley is like the Forrest Gump of basketball history. He's been there at every major stage of the development of the modern game from the UTEP win to this... he keeps popping up as a major or minor figure in just about everything.
One more hour... What if he just rented those villas out for Wade and Bosh as a gift? Not for him... Go to NYK LeBron. He will become immortal if he wins a ring there + gets basketball thriving in that city again.
I STILL believe LeBron will stay in Cleveland! I said, after the Cavs lost to the C's in the 2nd round, that if they don't fire alot of ppl and knock out some of their roster and replace, that LeBron was GONE!! They did! I feel that all the rumors that he's going to form the trio in Miami w/ Wade & Bosh is nothing but a smoke screen. One BIG PR move! All I see is RED in my vision, and rationally, he's going to either stay in Cleveland, or go to Chicago! MARK ME CLEVELAND!!!
sportsguy33 Only certainty tonight: LeBron's entourage shattering the record for "most black people ever in Greenwich at the same time."
Uhmmmmmmmm.... gregcote #Heat LeBron-to-Miami may not be happening. Heat has canceled a full-page welcome ad in The Miami Herald. This time I'm serious
if true.. this will be hilarious. it would be good for us as long as he doesn't go to NY. That's unless DM pull off the ultimate jack move of course.
Just seems way too strange to me for LeBron to build all this hype and schedule an epic ESPN special for his announcement... and then let it leak out to the media the morning before he announces. I don't see him letting his big secret out to the world before he makes a big spectacle of it. What's the point of having an ESPN special if you're gonna tell everyone before it anyway? I gotta think he's headed anywhere BUT Miami.
He's supposedly going to tell/call all 6 teams and notify them of his decision before he goes on air.
IraHeatBeat Heat pulled James, Bosh, Wade print ads not because of any knowledge of James decision, but because of unsigned status of Bosh and Wade
Unsigned status of Wade and Bosh? They're going to sign. STEIN_LINE_HQ RT @EthanJSkolnick: Heat pulled its Welcome LeBron ad from the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Confirmed.
I'll be class while this crap is going on so i'll be following on twitter...it will go down I am sure.
