I began to worry at first and then I saw who it was from and understood why Hadi blocked him. If I knew how, I would block him!!!!!!! :grin:
That is my position sir and have played it for more than 30 years....but alas, my NBA days are sadly over. DD
that's what we've been doing...the problem is not knowing where all the free agents are at.... And im begining to think morey doesnt even know where he wants the caravan....it makes no sense to be so secretive about where they were meeting Martin, especially if they are coming back to Texas. I think right now he sent the caravan to position themselves in the middle of the miami-dallas-cleveland triangle. Then morey will keep working the phones and once he has a clearer picture as to which FA is more attainable, he'll hope on a plane and send the caravan that way, to meet up somtime tomorrow.
Has this been confirmed or a guess? I ask because this makes the most sense to me if they are going after JJ to lure Bosh.
I see they took the scenic route to the ATL, anyway, I would say JJ but isn't he in LA? This is fun and all but I would like an update by 11pm tonight please.
@zack_berg: Chris Bosh said he wanted to be out of town when free agency hit, but was told he couldnt. I assume that means hes made up his mind

Unbelievable how information gets convoluted and twisted. Bosh said in the video that was taken at least 8 days ago that he wanted to be "out of the country" for free agency but was told he couldn't. How does one interpret that he's made up his mind from that? I think he just wanted to get away and let his agent do the dealing.
blog update: JUNE 30, 3:01 PM - IN PARTS UNKNOWN "This is why you go on road trips: you put up with all the insanity, the long hours, the cabin fever and the utter exhaustion because deep down inside you know something completely unpredictable, out of the blue and utterly memorable is likely to take place that will make it all somehow seem worthwhile. Tuesday was a trying day for our group. We clocked 20 hours on the road, ate one proper meal (thank you, Subway!) and arrived at our destination at 6 in the morning. Even the seemingly limitless youthful exuberance of the Rowdies was put to the test. By the time we shuffled into our hotel rooms, we looked like 11 Jeff Van Gundys. Then came word that Daryl had set up some sort of top-secret meeting for us; one which was scheduled to take place on our way to the next city. The catch: the meeting was set up for 11 AM. Ugh. More sleep deprivation. Less enthusiasm. And then everything changed. We made our way to a regular-looking suburban gymnasium, where were we immediately greeted with a warm smile from a man who clearly had inside knowledge of what was about to take place. He ushered us in, opened the door of the gym and there was the pay-off: Kevin Martin, feverishly working on his game, seeing us out of the corner of his eye and welcoming us with a wave. We watched the Ohio-native work out for a bit, paying close attention to the emphasis he was placing on exploding toward the basket out of the triple-threat position. In an instant, the Rowdies went from exhausted to elated. Their beaming smiles made the bags under their eyes disappear, or at least placed them on a temporary leave of absence. They cheered K-Mart’s every move, soaking in the unique opportunity to watch one of their guys go through his personal workout. When it was break time, Martin came over to introduce himself, shake hands, give hugs and high fives, pose for pictures and answer questions (while asking more than a few of his own). He was completely at ease and extremely pleased with the progress he’d been making this summer. He said he’s putting tons of time into getting his 3-point shot back to where it should be, while also doing everything he can to be more explosive when attacking the hoop (hence the drills we witnessed when we walked in). Best of all, his smile was almost as big as the ones adorning the Rowdies’ adoring faces. When asked if he was pumped about his progress so far, his response said it all: “I’m very excited. I’m on a great team now – I should be excited.” I’ll admit it: when it comes to Kevin, I’m a biased observer because I’ve long been a big fan of his. Still, I don’t think it’s crazy at all to suggest that every Rockets fans should be extremely excited to see what he can do on this team playing alongside Aaron Brooks and Yao Ming for an entire season. With all the fuss over whom the Rockets might be adding via free agency, it’s important to remember that the guys currently populating the Rockets’ roster are pretty darn good, too. Needless to say, everyone’s spirits are higher as we now find ourselves on the way to our final destination. Tons of excitement, too, to see how this evening unfolds. The rumors are flying fast and furious, as everyone scrambles to implement their free agent plans the second the clock strikes midnight on the east coast. The moment that happens, we’ll check in once more with another update, including news of our whereabouts. ‘Til then, keep the faith." ---- Does he mean Martin has inside knowledge on FA or just the workout? Are they lying to us ? Friedman says they met Martin on their way to the last city, but it's clear Martin was in Florida. That doesnt match to their three possible destinations on the updated map, which appear to be or be around Mobile, AL- Marianna, FL- and Macon, GA they are all well before reaching Clearwater, fl. Are the 3 possible destinations inaccurate and just to show they have 3 possible routes? And the 3 cities are my guess based on their map, nothing official..
I take that as they are going to 3 separate destinations. The arrows do not point to any necessary location. I assume LeBron is one b/c everyone has to try... Bosh is another one... The third ???
