LeBron James Discussion Thread

Might as well pin this lol. Post all LeBron news here.

Three GMs checked in with Chad Ford of ESPN following Cleveland's elimination from the playoffs and said that based on the information they have, they believe LeBron James will leave the Cavs.

All three of them said they believe the destination will be the Chicago Bulls. Two said they believe that John Calipari will be the new head coach of the Bulls.

One GM went a bit further in a phone call a few minutes later. "I think the Bulls are really going to go for it. Look for them to offer the Cavs Luol Deng in a sign-and-trade for LeBron. That will allow them to retain most of their cap space. Then they'll go after Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh as well."

I've heard that the Heat can get rid of Beasley, James Jones and someone else in salary dumps, sign LeBron and Bosh, and then offer Wade whatever and can actually get all 3.

But really, he's a Knick. Him and his choice of co-star. Book it now.

Cleveland has peaked & LeBron knows it. That said, Chicago offers less money but finally offers hope to putting a ring on his finger. Chicago is the bigger market, better supporting cast of player, and way more flexibility in putting together the right pieces.

What does Cleveland really offer at this point? Mostly old players with horrible contracts...hmm...?

If we could get LeBron for Deng, freeing up space for Bosh that would be <Censored>ing insane. That said, I don't see that happening. LOL

If LeBron leaves its definitely not to New York lol. He's going to Chicago or staying.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

He apparently had a long phone conversation with Derrick Rose last night...

Why is Noah in your sig? That's not a big 3.. That's a big 2. That'd be funny though, after Noah practically wanted to kill a baby because LeBron was dancing on the court, he would probably start dancing next year.

A perfect match. A player who is a proven loser goes to play for a loser of an organization.

Noah's one of the top centers in the game... He averaged 15 & 13 in the playoff series and really picked his offensive game up after returning from his injury.

People don't give Anderson Varejao credit so I don't see why Noah deserves any.. He's an energy player with limited offensive skills.

Varejao is softer than a satin covered mattress.

 

[Yankees2772]

A Nets fan is criticizing another team? Hah.

 

[playmaker7]

Chicago, count it...that is...if he's leaving at all.

 

[The Young One]

If he leaves its to chicago.

BKS where did you hear that at?

 

[$tunna]

How about I rename this the LeBron James News Thread? lol

 

[cruzg24]

I think LBJ is going to the Mavericks cuz they already have an all-star and have great resources, lol jk. But that would be pretty crazy as well if he went to Dallas.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

fps.... .......



im still hoping he goes to the Knicks and I think he will -- but im not going to bother debating this because none of us really know anything -- it's all pure speculation at this point.

President Obama is unofficially campaigning for LeBron to go to Chicago:

"He doesn't want to tamper," senior adviser to the president -- and former Bulls season-ticket holder -- David Axelrod said. "But as a Chicago fan, the president thinks LeBron would look great in a Bulls uniform."

Meanwhile, Michael Bloomberg wants to give his own pitch:

NEW YORK -- Mayor Michael Bloomberg says that if LeBron James calls to ask what it's like to live in New York City, he will give the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar a "big sales pitch."

"Rumors are that both the Knicks and the Nets would like to get him. I would never take sides on that, but I think it would be great for New York if he would come here," Bloomberg said on his weekly Friday show on WOR Radio.

Varejao is softer than a satin covered mattress.

He's also an all NBA 2nd team defender, should have been 1st team but somehow LeBron made first team.

Obama should stop worrying about LeBron's job, and worry about all the people without jobs in the United states.
