Its actually Wade and Bosh not Wade and Lebron.

Gnnr

woops, sorry, so excited I messed up

Wade and Bosh and we still got a shit load of cash left over!

We still got enough to get another 2nd tier FA out there and we'd still have a shit load of cash left over!

If LeBron stays in Cleavland, he is doomend. No rings in forseable future. Either go to Miami or Chicago, or Chicago may add some other piece and you are stuck boy. The Knicks? ehhhh. They may be contenders next season, but not now. Same with Cleavland. Nets a few years away too.

No, wait. Stay away LeBron.

We got $17M to play with.

Haywood, Miller, Felton, Korver. Some other mid-level guys

Bring Raja Bell? Bring Ray Allen?

RILEY IS THE FUCKING BOSSS!!!

Ahhhh, its FEELS SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOODDDDD.

Wasnt there rumors that LA was trying to get Bell? I think the Lakers figured that the few folks who might be able to play D on Kobe, they need them on the team so there wont be nobody left who could.

We got Wade and Bosh and $17M. Many teams in the league would love to have our "problem".

Oh yeah, in addition to getting a big beefy center in the second round of the draft, we got Da'Sean Butler. I'm really excited to see how this kid is gonna bounce back. Check out ESPN's coverage on his comeback:

YouTube - Da'Sean Butler: Operation Comeback

He will be playing in the summer league.

i feel the exact same way! hahaha.
im celebrating with you

raja bell said he prefered Miami over anything since his family/home is based in florida.

WERDdabuilder

ill take boozer in CHI.
undersized but still gets mad boards.
good in the pick-n-roll and a finisher.
please just stay healthy.

boozer's size kills him though. he cant play defense and with a coach who will
be preaching the D-word all year?
he wanted to play for D'Antoni and his system, he'd fit in with them.

but thats a good pick up for chicago.

ALTRNTV

Boozer for 5yrs/$80mil?! He just got overpaid, AGAIN.

Good for the Miami Heat picking up Chris Bosh and retaining Wade. The East just got a bit stronger,
meaning only the Thunder, Nuggets, and Blazers really pose a threat to the Lakers in the West.

If LeBron goes to New York (which he will), he doesn't care about winning. If he wants to have a realistic
shot at winning, he stays in Cleveland or heads to Chicago. He won't go to Miami with Bosh and Wade.

Strider

What??? I don''t think he got over paid. Think of all the big men out there and how many do exactly what he does? Answer, very few. He's a solid double double and excellent in the pick roll which gives you a lot of options/looks on offfense.

I think this definitely puts Chicago in the top 3 in the East now.

Updates
-Cap room is officially set at $58M, $2M more than the original projection. Shit just got serious.

-Ray Allen resigns with Celtics for a $20M contract over 2 years. Could they still afford Shaq?

-Kevin Durant signs a contract extension for the max of $85M over 5 years. No fanfare and spectacle for Durant, just a simple announcement through his twitter. Man I love this guy!

-LeBron James will announce his decision at the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich, Conn.
-LeBron will announce his decision within the first 10Mins of the 1-hour ESPN special

-Wade and Bosh have stated they are open to take less money to add another player(s)

-Free-agent center Jermaine O'Neal said Wednesday that he expects to sign with one of the three following teams in coming days: Dallas, Denver or Boston.

-im glad ray allen re signed. will he break Miller's three point record this year?? i got mixed feelings on that one..
-i hope wade and bosh do end up taking less money, and im kinda hoping lebron doesnt come to miami. lol.
after wut i saw this summer from him/ his camp im kinda dissapointed in "the king." the heat need to fill up the rest of their roster.
but i like desean butler and dexter pittman.
-J. o'neal going to boston would be good too. either him or shaq but jermaine has less miles..but he's more injurt prone[?]
-with that cap at $58 i think the heat have somewhere around $15 million plus to play with..pluss more if they trade beasley :[
-tomorrow on espn lebron will announce he is staying in cleveland. i bet, and i wouldnt be surprised if he takes a LITTLE less in order for cleveland to get him the RIGHT help.

s14canyoncity

I'm glad for you Heat fans, you guys got a good player and Wade stayed. But yeah, your gonna need a bench for the long run. Glad to see a good contender in the east get better, but the west is still dominant.

LAKERS!!!!!

hopefully you guys get pass Cleveland or Celtics this coming season. See you in the Finals

Just woke up, looking at sportscenter on ESPN...that seems to be the case. Its a bit surreal right now...I wont believe it 'till it happens and I think it still wont hit me for a while if true. Steven A. Smith will go down as the greatest NBA insider ever for breaking the story a week in advance!

I'm just interested to see what we build around the big 3 if so. Not worried, just looking in awe.

Man, it feels like I'm dreaming. Is this what hitting the lotto feels like?

lebron's such a band wagoner if he joins the heat.

if he does join the trio, then good for him.

another reason to dislike him.

Yes, he would be a turncoat for leaving Cleveland, but the argument AGAINST that is Kevin Garnett in Minnesota, he gave them the best years of his career and got nothing.
However
His claim is that he wants to win, and as constructed, the places he was choosing from with the best chances at that is Miami. If he goes to Chicago, he would appear to be TRYING, but ultimately fail, and in Cleveland he could hide his greed under the guise of loyalty, but he would also fail.

i dont get all the lebron hating after reading several posts on other sources. this flood of hate just pouring because all of the attention to lebron.

people dont see it was the media who blew all this up since earlier last season or even before that.

lawrenceyang

how could you not hate someone who announces his plans on an espn special. shit's ridiculous.

LMAO! You think he just decided to join the Heat because of Wade and Bosh's announcement yesterday!? This has been planned for months, don't kid yourself. You can call him disloyal, or egocentric or whatever, but don't call him a bandwagoner.

Take it from a city that had a great player get screwed over by loyalty (Dan Marino). The general consensus down here is that we should have let him go so he would at least have gotten a super bowl ring somewhere else.

Going off of what Phlip said, Garnett has stated he wished he would have left a long time ago and 'cause he would have had a chance at more rings. As a matter of fact that's the advice he gave LeBron.

all of this is irrelevant becuz of James' decision tonite lol but-cavs pursuing Jonny Flynn.
David Lee will be traded to the Warriors for Kelenna Azubuike, Anthony Randolph, & Ronny Turiaf. this is if NY doesnt land LeBron tonite.

He's going to New York. Quote me. If I'm wrong, I'll delete this.

frsh4

because of Carmelo?
they were saying on espn that James would rather not wait a year
and by signing with NY he'd be taking a big leap of faith.

ALTRNTV

Miami. He should have went to Chicago.
