So I've been working the twitter boards today, and after hearing some stuff from Bosh and a few analyst, I think I know how this off season will play out:
LBJ will stay in Cleveland or go to New York (Those are the only real options in his eyes)
Bosh & Wade will be in Miami. The heat will trade Beasly for Haywood so Bosh won't be playing center.
Raymond Felton will sign with the Heat if Bron stays in Cleveland, or will go to New York if he signs with the Knicks.
Bulls will sign Boozer and Mike Miller or JJ Reddick
What do you think?

to be honest the biggest FA move for me was the Lakers signing Blake.....but since i have to put my 2 cents in I think that wade and bosh will end up in Chicago, LBJ ends up in Cleveland . I think NY will send David Lee to SA for Parker, meaning NY get Parker and Amare. last of all the Heat ends up with nothing major Boozer,felton,miller and tyson chandler/haywood.

I love how New York is trying to re-assemble the Suns. Did they miss the part where the werent good enough to win a title 4 years ago, yet somehow now a broke down Steve Nash and a roster filled out with scrubs would do it? D'Antoni's style of play will never win, it sure as hell wont beat the Lakers with Phil Jackson/Kobe/Pau.
On another note, WHAT THE FUCK are the T-wolves doing? They are outpacing my Grizz as the worst managed franchise by far in the NBA.

kahn better be long playing this.....he looks like an idiot.......he has a rookie coach trying to install a complicated triangle offense to a bunch of young guys that I think are idiots.......he keeps drafting a way too many players at the same position.........he signed darko and wants to trade al jefferson........and I think he signed some other Serbian idiot.......plus he just gave up gomes and the 16th pick for martell webster, which I think means he just traded 2 guys as good or possible better than webster forf just webster........and i'm sure there are way too many other things he's done that look stupid too........but maybe after rubio comes over and he makes some more moves, that he will look like a genius....idk
oh ya, and I think drafting wes johnson was a mistake........he's the same age as rudy gay, but just now entering the league.......i don't see how he is ever more than just a solid, but nothing special SF.......why pass on cousins? it's not like any of the other draft picks were based on a position need.......

more free agent thoughts.....
this thing with lebron on primetime is ridiculous.......everyone wants the hats in front of him like in high school.........but I want it to be set up like a presidential address from the oval office.....
you know, the NFL owners won't allow this crap......they set up a system where the very best of the best rarely if ever see the open market.............the best players either have their contract extended, get multiple franchise tags, or get traded to teams that will extend their contract.........and no way the nfl owners give up that franchise tag in the next cba.....it prevents this crap with lebron
from a griz perspective, I like that all these good players are going or staying east.....let's make the west weaker......
I think it looks like wade and bosh end up in miami........and that miami won't be able to pawn off beasley to get a 3rd max contract player......
so, I think against what the popular opinion is, I think lebron ends up in NY or NJ, most likely NY
lebron will see wade get his bigman in bosh and look at chicago and see no good offensive bigman and a team of poor shooters.....he will look at cleveland and know they are always going to be doing stuff on the fly to give him the antwan jamison's and shaq's of the world........and NJ has some young but un proven bigs.........NY has amare and if wade gets bosh in miami, lebron will go with amare in NY............
I bet the chatter ramps up between now and thursday about NY not being dead in the water.....
but what I really want to know is who is going to over pay for Mike Miller!!!!!!

Well, I figure showing all of lebron's accomplishments will take a good 4 to 5 minutes. 55 minutes left to fill.

HAHAHA, yeah, it will get stupid after the 50th Nike commercial. So Wade and Bosh to Miami. That leads me to believe it either Cleveland or NY Knicks for Bron Bron. I gotta think he is leaning towards the Knicks, but who knows.

I hope Bron goes to the Bulls or Knicks. But something tells me he will be staying in Ohio. Although one bit of interesting news that was brought up was that Lebron is doing this at 9:P.M. EST. Why is he doing it so late in th night? Well Lebron is in Ohio right now for a basketball camp that ends at 3 p.m. EST. Is he going to then hop on a plane to New York or Chicago. Or does this guy really just want the Wednesday Prime Time Slot? It's going to be hard to do better numbers then the result show for "So you think you can dance" lol

Yeah ,I see no way that the decision is kept under wraps until then unless he does it for Cleveland. Hell if he boards a plane we will instantly know where it is going thanks to tail number tracking.
If he stays in Cleveland then it has to be a precursor to some sort of sign and trade right? I mean would he really go back to that Cleveland team?

I think he has to know that people don't want to play in Cleveland besides Damon Jones If he couldn't get one of his best friends to go (Bosh) then how does he expect to get any other big time FA? He can sit around and wait for a Pau Gasol deal to fall into there laps, or he can go to a place where other stars will want to go. KG even told Lebron after the series this season "Don't stay in one place for loyality, because you will regret it. Stay because you think they are the best fit for you" KG knows better than anyone that loyality in the NBA gets you knowhere as player. If Gilbert locks up Lebron for 6 years, and they don't win by year 3, do you really think he will continue to go 10 million over the salary cap? He will start putting out good teams, but won't make the effort to be one of the highest paid teams anymore. Thats what happened to KG, and thats why he wasted so many great yeats in a bad situation.

If all 3 go to MIA, then they may become my most hated team.
If he uses an hour in primetime to break thehearts in Ohio, lebron willbe the #1 villian in the NBA.

Lebron will stay in Cleveland. I think you might be right, and man, talk about a fucking let down. I would kinda feel bad for him if he does, b/c that team is not winning a title or even seriously competeing for one the next few seasons without making some sort of insane sign and trade deal this year or next year maybe.
