    I've heard martin has a home in miami beach, but i'm not sure... a drive there would put them at about the 20 hrs they've been driving.....thorpe's facility is in clearwater, which is a lot closer though, so i dont think he's there and by the looks of the court on the pic, it's not thorpe's facility...

    Morey will never get a chance to talk to Bosh. Unless of course my nutty conspiracy theory is true.

    Why I say this. Bosh's tweet just now. He says he has been looking forward to this for years and it will be over in hours. HUmmmmm,he doesnt want to spend days talking to potential suitors.,he wants to sign asap.And he thinks its going to be very soon.Like tomorrow. So,without having spent time in Houston or meeting caravan Bosh has already made his stupid mind up(probably last week when he spent the entire week in miami and is still there)

    Bosh/jack(his buddy) to miami for chalmers/beasley/pick/jones works because miami is under cap

    This caravan is a silly thing to just have rocket employees hang out for a road trip to meet kevin martin.

    I believe Kevin trains often with David Thorpe, whose facilities are in Florida.

    Interesting uhmmmmm......

    @ArtGarcia_NBA: Mark Cuban in LA to meet w/FAs (Joe Johnson) & Rick Carlisle at Brendan Haywood's door tonight. #mavs

    That would make sense with the 20 hr drive... ;)

    i already calculated that...it's too close to have driven so much..

    Bosh just tweeted he's at the "breakfast table" with gf, sounds like he's at home, which is, dallas or is he still at his toronto home?

    Would they actually drive up to toronto?

    I did read martin may have a camp in his hometown...zanesville, OH is about 10 hrs from leeds, AL... and from the time they arrived at leeds to the time they stopped to sleep was roughly 10 hrs...then they drove around 2-3 hrs to meet Martin...so it's possible they drove 10 hrs and entered ohio, then drove 2-3 hrs to meet kevin in Zanesville...

    I'm confused now with all these driving times.. :grin:

    the 20 hr drive is including their trip from New orleans to Alabama, which is 5-6 hrs. To drive from Alabama to la/sacramento would be over a day of driving...i think we can cross LA out, otherwise they'd have to drive non stop for the rest of the day to get there and they already detoured to meet Martin.

    I think they are either meeting bosh back at dallas somehow or they are traveling up or around the east coast. I guess to meet up with lebron in ohio or bosh in toronto...or someone that may be in NY?

    don't quote him! :grin: sounds like an inside tip...

    i guess they got word to head back to TX....while they think it's houston it's probably dallas they're headed to....but that's a 17 hr drive, been 1 hr since they met martin, so roughly 16 hrs?

    That could be enough for an early meeting tomrrow morning...i dnt think Morey plans on showing up at his doorstep at 1am, he probably has an official meeting with him at his home late morning, maybe noon?

    Miami is 20 hours from here, I've drove it before. New Orleans and Alabama are both on the way. If they are in a caravan their probably doing worst on time, but should be able to be just about anywhere in Florida. Makes sense to me. Could be going up the East coast, but I don't see them headed West. Interesting.
