Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 
I been hearing report all day that this is a real possibilty. Bosh and James joining Wade in Miami. They would be a instant favorite to be in the finals IMO.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 
why do they need Wade?

We're hearing the same rumors here, only KJ and Bosh to the Bulls.

LeBron would fit in better with the Bulls -- more of the kind of players he needs to support him there.

You would not need much support if you have the 3 of them on the same team.:D

Crossing my fingers this happens. Can't wait till July 8th when these guys can sign the deal.

Lebron will be smart to come to the best city in the world. Chicago is right for him.

It would be interesting to see if Jerry Reinsdorf does what it takes to get LeBron James, if he will be willing to open up the pocket book in a few years after the new CBA, to sign Rose & Noah....et. al....

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 
Earlier Bosh squashed the idea of all 3 of them on the same team. I see a possibility of Lebron and Bosh to Chicago. Wade is gonna sign with Miami and Boozer will probably come down there too.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 
Well rumors around here are that Wade and Lebron might be coming here to the Mavs...

I think it's safe to say every city is dreaming about getting one or both of these players and wishful thinking turns into rumor :p

So yeah, who knows where these guys might go :hm

Aren't the Mavs already over the SC? Not sure how that would work....dumping a bunch of bad salaries to the Heat and Cavs in sign and trades....

That said, I'd rather see them both or either one in Dallas with Dirk than either, or, both in Chicago..... As Jimmy Morrison once said, the West is the best.....:tu

E.J. 07-08-2010 12:57 PM

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 
I keep hearing how LeBron will get less credit for winning a Championship in Miami than he would in Chicago? Like somehow playing with D. Wade and C. Bosh is easier than playing with Rose, Deng, Noah, Boozer….not to mention T. Gibson who played very well last year…..

IMO, the Bulls have a better team today than the Heat do…. In fact, I think one of the major reasons that LeBron wouldn’t sign with them is he thinks that it will be broken up in the next few years because Reinsdorf won’t pay to keep it together….

Maybe I am up in the night….?

Lots of news saying Lebron to Miami.

Bet the lack of state income tax didn't hurt the cause, nor the Cuban food on Calle Ocho and the girls on South Beach.

I agree and it's all to familiar with what Shaq did to Orlando when he bolted to LA.

Cleveland at least gave it their best to keep him.

Keep your chin up Cleveland.

yachties23 07-08-2010 08:15 PM

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 
As a Knick fan, going to start out what is most likely a biased post.

A few things on this special bothered me.

#1 "This has been a humbling experience"
Says the man who is having a prime time special to announce what team he is going too.

#2 "I have always been a loyal person"
Tell that to the fans who are burning your jerseys in cleveland.

This is a punk move on his part. Jordan, Magic, Kobe, Duncan, the greats over my lifetime MADE their teams winners. His legacy in my mind is forever ruined. Wade will always have one more title Lebron, one that he basically won on his own.

I feel for the Cav fans, you unconditionally loved this punk and he told you that you weren't good enough.

I am not a basketball fan at all, I am a Dolphin fan and that's about it. I will say he didn't say Cleveland as a city and it's fans weren't good enough. He said the team wasn't good enough to win titles. He is right.

Glad for the Miami fans and since D Wade is my favorite player in the league him too. This development makes me wonder if Riley will coach a year or two for the Heat.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 
Man you guys are harsh....:r

Of course it is too bad for the fans of Cleveland.... But a player should go do what they want to do... If that is play with your friends and try to win some Championships....great. I don't think LeBron owes Cleveland anything....not the team, not the city.... Who are we/they to put those expectations on a kid?

As far as loyalty in sports.... That is such a joke....:pu Fans turn on players, owners dump players when it benefits them, bla...bla...bla.... Sports is business.... In reality, players are the only ones who have this "loyalty" expectation.


Though not a huge LeBron fan....I am excited to see what these three can do in South Beach.... And I say it again, I don't think this is the easy way... Chicago would have been the easy way.... That team is LOADED w/ LeBron....and still a favorite in the East without him.

I fear as a Utah Jazz fan, I will be going through this in a few years when Deron Williams bolts to Dallas.... I do not have a D. Williams jersey, but if I did....I wouldn't burn it that night....

E.J. 07-09-2010 07:59 AM

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 
Let me add... I have to assume that the owner of the Cavs is the "buck stops here" representation of the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise and with his juvenile comments, I'd bolt that business as well. What an idiot....

This whole look at me people I am this important thing made me puke. That ESPN thing where he makes his decision made me lose alot of respect for him. I hope he understands that this is Wades team and not his. Wade has already brought a title to Miami without Lebron.:td

Even if He wins, This move will do more for Kobe's reputation, than it will his own. He will always be second fiddle to Wade.

I don't feel one bit for Cleveland losing LJ. Their loss, not his. Fans turn quite easily. Remember when they booed him during the series with the Celtics?

The man is quite possibly the best player in the NBA right now. He has won the MVP, it's his right to chase after the big trophy.

Parshooter 07-09-2010 12:44 PM

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 
All this talk about instant and multiple championships is BS. Look at the Yankees, they have been the highest payrolled team for many years now and they have only won one world series in years. Just because you have the best players doesn't guarantee success.

Remember when The (sel-proclaimed) Chosen 1, King James, gave up during the series with the Celtics, and didn't even bother to at least mail it in? If any @$$ of an athlete ever deserved to get booed, it was then.

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 
I don't fault an athlete going for a better deal or more money. I do what I do for the money and would jump ship if another place offered a better deal.
I wouldn't have a one hour special to rub my former employers noses in it though.
That's just a bad way to leave a place that was very good to you and gave you the run of the place.

Good call Tom.

I think Dan Gilbert was a bit harsh, but his tone reflected the betrayal his team, his organization and his city are going through. See how Wade managed to "Sell" Bosh and Lebron? Why couldn't Lebron sell Bosh, who apparently had a sign and trade worked out between the Raptors and the Cavs.

I think we may hear down the road that these three had this in the plans since the 08 olympics. Player collusion isn't a punishable offense, but don't doubt that Pat the Rat knew what was up all along.

TheRiddick 07-09-2010 09:26 PM

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 
He not only screwed Cleveland (they let go their coach and GM just to appease the idiot), but also other teams and free agents as well. Teams like Nets, for example, who could have gone after other players and are now left with no one to really pick (Lee was on the list for Nets yet that long delay allowed Oakland to sneak in, for example).

As is, I hope NBA looks into player tampering since it looks like LeBron, Bosh and Miami Heat (via Wade) conspired to make this happen. Players meeting 3 weeks before July 1st to "discuss strategy" is not allowed, AFAIK, yet NBA is strangely silent on the issue. Heat should loose all draft picks for the next X years so that teams in the future do not follow same BS "strategy".

If there is any justice, Heat will fail same way Manchester City futbol club failed last year after buying everyone they could for stupid money. There is only one ball to go around plus Heat now have to still build their bench with no money left to play with.

floydpink 07-09-2010 09:33 PM

Re: Lebron, Bosh and Wade on the same team
 
Kinda bold for the owner of the Cavs to guarantee Cleveland will win a title before Lebron does.

Hope he's right, but doubt it a lot. Probably be a few years before they see the post season.

Well thats just the thing.. He took less money to go to Miami.. So at least people cant say he did it for the money.. He lost about 15 million (110 totol) by going to Miami, rather then the 125 million he would have got by staying in cleveland
