    Well, here we go.

    Like I said a few days ago, the fact that we're in the final discussion is extraordinary and a testament to just how great riley and Wade are at what they do.

    If you're Lebron you should want to play with Wade. You're guaranteed to go down in the record books.

    When Ira joins the party, you know something big is going down. And Ira actually gives you context on his source, "a party close to Wade."

    Ira does confirm that Wade will meet the Knicks (puke), Bulls and the Dallas Mavericks to cover himself just in case Heat FA '10 goes kaput, but that he is confident Pat can get him a commitment from somebody else which would stave off those other meetings.

    The fact that SAS, a former ESPN employee, is saying this, makes me thing the opposite is true.

    just heard it. it's very convincing. here is the interview on the middle-ish of the page:

    http://www.790theticket.com/lebatard.aspx


    he said it's a trusted source that has never been wrong. also, another has cosigned on it. basically, it's lebron's best chance at a championsip. spo would be the coach.

    HD just had his Khan moment.

    Man, this is crazy. There was no news whatsoever this morning, I check off the interwebs for a few hours, and all of a sudden the media realizes what's going on.

    I'd be right there with him...

    But I'd have to believe that even he couldnt **** that up...

    He can at least coach defense. And a good D with THAT offensive fire power? It would take some real talent to **** that up. And if it looks like hes going to? Riley will squash that pretty quickly and run this **** to the promised land...

    Lol, Broussard is such a ****ing joker! Now he's riding SAS basically?

    Because on Sports Center literally two nights ago, he said that LeBron WILL SIGN WITH CHICAGO barring any drastic changes, and that if something drastic happens, he stays in Cleveland. He mentioned New Jersey as well. Didn't even say "Miami" or "Heat" throughout the segment.

    That smell you are smelling?

    Don;t check the dog...don;t check your drawers...don't double flush your toilet.

    it is the smell of fear from the NBA as they soil themselves.

    it ain't too fun when the rabbit has the Gun, huh mother****ers?

    PLEASE let this happen. Just for Bill Simmons committing suicide..it will be worth it.

    I fell in love with Coach Spo towards the end of the season... I got my head out of my own *** and started to actually watch basketball. I was WRONG about him all year long and I admit it. How he got 47 wins out of that team (even with Dwyane Wade) is beyond me.

    Better yet, how he turned that team into the best defensive unit in basketball (until Boston got healthy of course) without the personnel amazes me.

    Sect..et tu?

    Let it play out, there is a really good chance that LJ lands in Miami, but don't get your hopes up to high as it will be a S&T (figuring James would think he owed the Cavs that much and there is the 30 million dollars) so even if landed in Miami on 12:01 am..there is still a long way to go.

    I find it odd that LeBron is acting as confident and powerful as he is. In my mind he has two options - Miami or Cleveland. He says he is all about loyalty and all about winning - then those two places should be his only options.

    I'm starting to think he is all about attention - which is why the other places come into the conversation.

    As a Cavs fan - I hope he comes to Miami if he leaves Cleveland. I could still respect him if he chose to join Wade, Riley and another max FA.

    Everybody plays the same schedule basically.

    The standings still said Miami Heat...47 wins.

    Cleveland will not want a S&T.

    They need to clear space. Not add to it.

    Besides..why help him with this "betrayal"? (Cleveland's perspective)

    Anyway, we are going to be contenders in short order...it is a matter of wether we roll over the league or just have to work for it.

    Thats great. I'm not talking about that. I was referring to HD saying that "towards the end of the season" he became a bigger fan of Spo. I was just reminding him what coincided with that time period.


    And 47 wins? We have Wade. That happens. The best thing the Cavs had next to Bron was Mo Williams and they led the league in wins 2 years in a row. If you have an unreal talent like one of those guys... and they are healthy/playing well... you are going to win a good chunk of games.

    What my problem was with was his refusal/unability to adjust his system to fit his players, and instead tried to continually fit a square peg in a round hole. Had he properly adjusted like a good coach, I think there would have been more than 47 wins...

    This is true, but defensively, some really good performances against LAL, CLE, @MIL (they were playing really good, but I do believe Bogut was out), and a few other games. I thought we played Boston well defensively too... simply didn't have the guns.

    I'm a believer of Spo mainly because I was a believer before he got the job, and we still haven't seen what he can do with some real talent. He deserves that opportunity, BUT if a LeBron James comes out and says he wants to play for Pat Riley, then so be it. I just hope it's mutual and not ugly. Spo's still a young guy with a lot to learn.

    Just did a spin of their stupid *** free agent slot machine. Guess the unrealistic outcome? LeBron, Wade, Bosh, AND Amare with the Bulls. David Lee to the Heat!!!!!

    EDIT: Now I get JJ and Dirk to Miami, and LeBron and Wade to Dallas. What is this... I don't even...

    For what it's worth, Ira Winderman went on Rosenberg's show and said that LeBron doesn't have a problem playing for Spoelstra, and that's probably a result of Wade convincing him of Spoelstra's merits.

    I can respect his defense. But I cant respect his in game decisions, unbelievable stubborn on rotations, and his ability to come up with great offensive plays, epecially out of a timeout when you need a big point... which is a lot of time the difference between coaches that win it all and ones that dont.

    However, if we get Wade, Bron, and Bosh... it wont really matter.

    In game decisions? You have Wade, Bron, and Bosh.

    Rotations? Play Wade, Bron, and Bosh.

    Create offensive plays? You have Wade, Bron, and Bosh.



    Just coach defense and stay out of the way...

    You guys really think that LBJ and Bosh to Miami is going to happen? It would be amazing, but I can't imagine seeing LBJ, Bosh, and MV3 on the court at the same time on opening day. The rest of the NBA wouldn't stand a chance!

    If Lebron to Miami actually becomes reality I don't think we can afford Bosh. If I were Riles I'll pick up Boozer, Tyson Chandler and a PG.

    PG
    SG-Wade
    SF-Lebron
    PF-Boozer/Haslem
    C-Chandler

    What would you guys think about actually moving LeBron to PG full time? And finding a shooter to play the 3?

    I feel like it would be easier to find a 3 than a 1. Not to mention, your team becomes a LOT bigger when your PG is 6'8, and you can still have another 6'7-6'8ish SF. Rebounds become much easier.

    And I think LeBron could easily be a Magic Johnson type PG...

    When you've got Wade and Lebron on the floor at the same time you don't need a PG better than Chalmers. Wade would play point in the 4th quarter anyway most likely. The end game lineup would probably look like:

    Wade
    Raja Bell
    Lebron
    Bosh
    Pittman

    I'll take that against any team in the league, including the Lakers even when Bynum is healthy, which is never.

    I don't know if Riles can build a roster with the big 3 and 6 others for the minimum. Possible i guess but I don't know...we'll see soon enough.
