I'm Confused

[Bullsman24]

in the last couple of days, all of a sudden lebron is staying in cleveland. what is supposed to have changed??? just a few days ago, chicago had effectively acquired him. now not so much. why the change in opinion??? i don't see anything to have changed.

It was never a done deal. It's still not a done deal.

 

[Bullsman24]

yeah but apparently now all the analysts are saying james back to cleveland. if i were lebron, i would announce that BEFORE his basketball camp. that way it doesn't make things awkward at the camp. this way it makes me think that he doesn't want to admit it yet.

 

[clonetrooper264]

Because we're still absolutely clueless.

 

[Bullsman24]

the tone with reporters has completely changed though. three days ago it was almost for sure he was gonna leave.

The guy has just scheduled an hour long show to prove how important he is. For all we know he's known his decision all along and has just been drawing it out because he loves the attention.

haha he probably did. smart bastard

Sports analysts get paid to voice their opinions & that's just what they are...opinions. None of them know anymore than you or me where any of these guys will end up. Ok maybe they know a lil more than us, but not a hell of alot.

At the beginning it was we will be shut out in free agency, then it was we are the front runner for all 3, then we are getting shut out again, then we are getting Boozer, now we are shut out again. It's all for ratings & internet hits, there's almost little to no merit to any of these stories that have been flying around.

Hes having an hour long segment.....to announce hes retiring!!!! lol

Well, World Wide Wes leaving the inner circle may have been the bomb that hit Chicago, according to media. He was pushing Chicago hard...

 

[TheStig]

Eh, I can't see James staying in Cleveland, he will never win a title and he knows it.

 

[Bullsman24]

it's the truth. unfortunately idk if he's smart enough to see it.

 

[??? ??????]

The problem is Adrian Wojnarowski and the Chicago beatwriters are the only ones actually doing reporting and doing critical thinking on what they're hearing.

Lebron should have listened to Wes. Maverick Carter is going to make Lebron the next Karl Malone.

What Chicago beat writers? KC? I like KC a lot...I don't see any other writers saying much...Kaplan? Maybe? He was trying to hype a Portland/Deng trade that I don't think has a snowball chance in hell of happening.

Jason Goff said that Bosh and Wade in Chicago was "imminent"...that was days ago.

While I think NY writers are over the top...your analysis of press surrounding all of this is a bit over the top also...you are right about Adrian Wojnarowski though...

If it doesn't fit into 140 characters it doesn't get written anymore. Hooray for Twitter. :S

That's why I said beatwriters. KC Johnson and Mike McGraw. They're not getting oversensational with the free agency thing. Can't say the same about the beat reporters on the Chicago broadcast stations.

Honestly I can't agree more. Unless he signs in NY for waaay below a maximum deal, there is no way they put together a competitive team. Let's not forget, Stoudemire's knee will die in a year. Or his eye will fall out.
