    These speculations are getting pretty old.

    One minute it is NY then Chicago.

    To me, Lebron to Chicago doesn't really make that much sense. He is not going to usurp much of what Jordan did.

    I think New Jersey or he stays in Cleveland. I like Lebron, but I think that he is more about money and being a celeb than winning.

    Wouldnt shock me if he ends up there.


    RicBucher: In hindsight, our Fastbreak FA panel forgot a vital element: no FA - LeBron, Joe, Bosh - wants to forfeit $30m. S&T still No. 1 objective.

    LeTravel is a diva and would relish all the Jordan comparisons.

    I think he thinks he is all about winning, but he doesn't have the extra gear that the great ones seem to have. His playoff performance against Boston was still just hard to believe.

    I'll say it: I just wouldn't be surprised if he retires with no rings.

    I tend to agree with you. Chicago would still give him a better chance than Cleveland though.

    what Obama wants he gets. thats why he had a big smile on his face. he knew last month (from talking to lebron) that lebron was going to bulls. bet your money now before time is up.

    oh, and joe johnson is joining him. wow. bosh is dumb. bosh is joining wade to "win championship" LOL OTFLMAO

    rose/lebron/johnson/gibson/noah >>>>>>>>>>> wade/bosh/scrubs

    HAHA Bosh is such an idiot. This is AWESOME. Im going to LOVE watching Lebron bash Wades head in. Dumb Miami fans, cant stand them. Possible worse fans in league. They think Wade is better than Lebron and that its so easy to win a championship. Just add bosh and everything is okay. It isnt.

    Yes Wade has 1 ring,wow, 1 ring, thats SO GREAT LOL...A team of Rose/Noah/JOe johnson/lebron/gibson/tom thibedou can honestly run off 3 straight easily because they are all young.

    Bosh saying wade is one the greatest ever. IN a couple years,that comment will look so stupid because wade wont even be in lebrons league by then.

    I hate Lebron but I hate Bosh 10x more for choosing Miami over us. Honestly I can say that I might hate Bosh now more than any player in league.

    Morey needs to move on to next target. Amare or whatever. No need to waste time on this loser Bosh. >

    Just got the phone with an #NBA GM who told me it's a formality @chrisbosh will sign with the #Heat....
    2 minutes ago via web

    "This has been planned for a long time," the GM said. "Chris is going to Miami"

    If my wife would let me, Id put everything I own to bet bosh to miami and triple my money instantly.

    Horsehocky, It takes 5 to win a ring, with Lebron or Kobe or Dwade or Bosh you are a big step on the way to 5.

    If Chicago's evil plan comes to fruition, you'd have to think an LA/CHI series would be for a ring in 2011, and beyond.

    ( insert NBA conspiracy theories here)

    You still have to get by Kobe and Gasol though because LA's got 5.

    And Brian Chapman is the biggest idiot on the board.

    What's with the Bosh hate? It doesn't make any sense at all. Anybody outside of Houston can understand him choosing the Heat over the Rockets. It's very silly for people to have so much venom at a player who never gave serious hint of wanting to come here.

    Grow up.

    can't forget about Orlando and Boston.

    There is absolutely zero evidence that Lerbon and "his team" can beat them when it matters

    The only thing coherent about Brian_Chapman is his wifes love for Earl Campbell Sausage. And his arbitrary hate for Chris Bosh, who has a right to choose where he plays...and seeing how he can SIGN STRAIGHT UP with 5 teams, it makes no sense for him to "choose" Houston where Houston...just going by cap space...was never a choice.

    Chicago's a great basketball city. You don't see Derrick Rose buckling under the Jordan shadow. And you didn't see Kobe shying away from it either, as it was the only team he wanted to be traded to. Jordan's legacy has no impact on today's free agents. That's like saying no center would want to come to Houston because they couldn't live up to Dream.

    It is looking more and more like the Knicks are going to suck for a while.

    Game over for the East.

    Rose
    Deng
    James
    Bosh
    Noah

    That starting 5 is so sound. Every position is solid. You could argue Deng at the 2 is iffy, but CHI may have some money left, assuming they get both James and Bosh.
