LeBron & Bosh to the Bulls (not official yet) Rumor

The Cleveland GM would be signing his death warrant if he does a sign and trade.

Who wants to be the guy to pull THAT boner?

Not gonna happen.

Lebron gets more money in a sign and trade, Chicago clears up a bit more cap space by disposing of a player that won't see the court much, and Cleveland gets an all-star small forward back in the deal.

Yes, but perception is reality.

If LeBron walks....he walks. You as the GM of the Cavs offer him everything you possibly can, including promises to rebuild around him...and he leaves.

He is the "bad guy". Note: He isn't, he just wants a better situtation.

If you sign and trade, you are essentially "giving up", and as the GM you are forever known as the guy that traded away Lebron James for X player.

While this is most likely the best way to get the most back for a player that is LIKELY walking away anyway, the PERCEPTION is as stated above.

Like I said, just rumors floating around. LBJ and Bosh to Chicago! No, Bosh is teaming with Wade in Miami! Wait, wait wait, I've got it!!! LBJ AND Bosh going to Miami! I wonder if I can pimp my own show out and start a rumor at the same time........

To me, if this is true it cements MJ's legacy as being greater than LeBron's even if he wins an NBA championship every year for the rest of his career.

When Jordan came to the Bulls, they were nothing. When Lebron came to the Cavaliers, they were nothing. Jordan stayed the course, let the team build around him, and then willed them to championships. Lebron failed to do that and is now bolting via free agency with another superstar to manufacture NBA titles instead of earning them, he's buying them. An absolute fraud.

Lebron to the Cavaliers was of storybook nature. Ohio boy makes good. It all the makings of a lengthy and record breaking career.... but he steps on it for the Bulls.

Forever tarnished.

True, but that does not really diminish Lebron in my opinion. Not many players are skilled (OR lucky) enough to go to a bad team and then do well. There are a lot of factors involved, including other players, coaches, and just straight up $.

However, I think Lebron should stay with the Cavaliers. With the Cavaliers, even if he does not win a championship, he will be known as a really good basketball player. If he is with the Bulls, there will always be that phrase "and in 2010, he joined the Bulls...".

That is never going to work out...

i dunno....

The Sun Sentinel has learned that the three star free agents have gone as far as to acknowledge that it might not be possible for the Heat to clear the needed space to start each of the three at the $16.6 million maximum salary that they would be eligible for in the first year of new contracts.

According to the source, the three have agreed to consider to "split the money up," if need be.

    • I don't see the Wallace speed ratings on the field. Not once have my eyes been drawn to him from any suddenness or explosiveness. Kind of like looking for a flash out of Bryce Young last year. I am aware that he is a rookie and his recognition and processing will be slower but if you don't close ground once you have finished recognizing and processing I worry about it. Now this, I think, disregards the new offensive staff's experience with WRs and their influence on who gets added. It isn't the old staff people and they are the offensive deciders, Morgan shouldn't be exerting his will over people whose focus has always been offensive football, and I don't think he will try to do that.  We'll see, but the two we added this year don't look like busts.
    • Not comparing the players just the use of analytics which has been and remains a key part of the structure of our approach in the draft since David Tepper became owner. All I'm saying is going forward we just don't know if this team will stop drafting Jonathan Mingo type prospects because the scouts are largely the same and the approach largely remains the same. Morgan has said he seeks players with a certain mentality (I refuse to type the phrase because this team has gotten taken to the woodshed too many times this season so it falls on deaf ears now) that's really the only key difference I can see as of right now. Next years draft will tell us what we need to know.
