Re: LeBron James- Executive thinks James to bulls is a done deal

Well, some executive dropped off a gift at his house...

Re: LeBron James- Executive thinks James to bulls is a done deal

Dont be fooled, this is not about championships yet, he is young yet and is aware he has lots of years left. It is about money, nothing more imo. I am a little confused though. He wont even leave his hometown to talk to other teams, why would he leave his hometown to play for other teams. That is his power play I guess. I really dont think Lebron is going anywhere but I must admit, I would feel slightly betrayed if he left our hometown.

Ill have a hard time figuring out what to do with this if he leaves, that's for sure.

Love the ALI smiley, had to post it. I'm Pretty!!

If it's about the money, Cleveland isn't the place to stay. It's a difference of $30 million with an additional year. You have to figure he'll get between 15 and 18 million in a new contract for that year when the time comes. That's $12-$15 million when you really compare the difference in that extra year. I'd bet he could easily make that up in endorsements by playing in Chicago or New York. Especially considering he has no shot at winning a title in Cleveland, and probably will in the other locations.

Re: LeBron James- Executive thinks James to bulls is a done deal

Lebron saids he wants to win Championships! If this is true then is between Bulls /Heat/Cleveland.

I do think he stays in Cleveland now with Scott being the coach and just can't see him leaving 30 million on the table.They do need to unload Williams and try and get a center.

Heat is interesting,him and Wade are great players,but they wouldn't play together well in my opinion.

The Bulls would be hard to turn down with Rose/Noah/Lebron/Bosh that is a instant contender.

If Lebron goes to the Nets/Knicks,i will lose all respect for him ,beacause he stated he wanted a championship.Knicks/Nets are more then Lebron and another star from being contenders.

The Nets actually have a decent nucleus for LeBron and are a lot better than they played last season.

Devin Harris, Brook Lopez, Terence Williams, Derek Favors....add those to LeBron and someone like Joe Johnson or Chris Bosh and that is a top team in the East and a team that can beat the Lakers in the finals.

Agreed.

Bosh is not a max player. Hes a second option. If he thinks he can go to a team and be the #1 guy he's fooling himself. He was the #1 guy in Toronto and where did it get the team eliminated from the 1st round every year. As far as im concerned wade stays, lebron stays and bosh goes to Houston or NY.

Hey I saw LeBron carry a team all by himself....out of the playoffs.

Wouldn't that make him NOT a #1 guy, so NOT a max player?

Sometimes there has to be SOME talent around a player (the best player to play with Bosh in Toronto: Jose Calderon).

I rest my case.

Re: LeBron James- Executive thinks James to bulls is a done deal

Knicks- Rumor has it that when Knicks met with LeBrons people that they had a deal that if Stoudimire signs with the Knicks LeBron will too, rumor also says that Stoudimire had an offer of 5 yrs 100 mill. that would only be on the table if LeBron would come to the Knicks if he signed, and since Stoudimire signed for 5 yrs 100 mill, I believe LeBron will be a Knick

ESPN was talking about this today. They were also saying Carmello will go there after next year when he becomes a FA.

Really think he'll stay......and he'll continue to lose with the Cavs.

My gut agrees with this. I believe he is going to take the safe road. Which is really his worst option.

 

[IndyManning18]

Just scrolled over ESPN. Larry Bird just offered LeBron and Bosh max deals. Pacers now in the running!!!!









































I can dream can't I? Can't I?

Indy, you forgot something: neither is white.

Larry only signs white guys :shock: I think he is trying to be the first team since the early 60's to throw a white wash at an opponent.

 

[stu]

I wish nothing but failure for any team that signs him.

 

[daveyou]

never once believed that lebron, wade and bosh would be in the same team..lol!

just have this weird hope that he will go to the knicks!!

and jay z- nyets, can't count them out completely yet either

i did read about how if the knicks do not get lebron, they would be open to a sign and trade for either monta ellis or al jefferson....

and carmelo will 99.9% sign an extension with the nuggest very soon. no chance he goes anywhere for the next 3-4 years.

i just can't see lebron going to wade's "team" is all.....i could see bosh being ok with being labeled as a #2 or #1A but im still not convinced yet that he would join the heat

or maybe because this will make me sad that lebron won't come to the knicks? lol!

tomorrow will be interesting, to say the least!
