LeBron to Chicago -- is it a possibility?

[X]

Chicago will push hard for him if he opts out. I don't think he opts out at all...but...the collective 180 this board would take (myself included) would be friggin' hysterical.

The question is what Wade does. Wade has 2 years left on a 40M deal. If Wade opts in, that pretty much destroys any plans LBJ had to add more talent. And Wade realizes he's got very little left in the tank so why would he opt out when there isn't much more money to be had.

Even if all 3 opt out and opt in at a slight discount, can they add enough talent to beat the Spurs next year? Doubt it. At this point, LBJ is chasing rings, nothing else matters. Not sure if Miami is the best spot for him.

Fuck LeBron. I don't want him.

There's even less of a chance of him coming here than Melo or Love.

Chicago hates him more than any other city and he knows that, I think that alone will stop him from coming here.

And that makes you such a great Bulls fan right? Posting some dumb shit like this...makes you feel all "bully" inside? Stevie Wonder does a better job of analyzing NBA basketball than you do.

...and if he came here...they would love him. They cheered John Starks for crying out loud! Give me a break...

opcorn: I want this to happen so badly...just for the pure entertainment

You know as well as I do that would never happen. LeBron's to sensitive.

 

[Axl Rose]

no.

My problem was always the tampering/collusion behind them going to Miami. I don't think we should really focus on the idea of him playing for Chicago. But if that did happen, you're high if you think you wouldn't be thrilled.

That's for certain. They can trade for Love, they might be able to do a sign and trade for Anthony. I don't see any way Miami wants what the Bulls have to deal. That said, I believe James would be the most likely of the 3 to be willing to take less than the max in order to be on a championship caliber team. He'd get paid plenty and playing in Chicago wouldn't do any harm to his endorsements where he makes even more money. He would be the one of the 3 with something to prove, he is the one not satisfied to be in 4 straight finals and only win 2. If they amnestied Boozer and he just straight signed with the Bulls so they wouldn't have to gut the roster he'd be in good shape. Rose, Noah, Gibson, Butler, Dunleavy, maybe Hinrich, he's on a very strong defensive team, veterans, he doesn't have to play heavy minutes or carry all the scoring load. Believe me if Reinsdorf has to go over the cap and into the luxury tax, James would be about the only player worth the gamble and money.

If he goes somewhere else where he can get the max money, they have to clear cap space, maybe keep one star and he's surrounded by the same type roster of minimum players like in Miami.

I certainly don't want the best player currently on the planet to play for my favorite team. Stop being silly. I want college try-hards that can grind out victories.

 

[houheffna]

I want to know who would look at Lebron and Melo and say "I'll take Melo"...who would do that?

 

[ThaGator]

I truly don't understand the LeBron hatred in Chicago. It's silly. He's the best player in the world and actually seems like a pretty good dude.

If he came to Chicago, the stupidity would be amazing. Oh my, just imagine the possibilities...

"Fuck LeBron"

"I'm not watching the Bulls anymore"

"I'll root for the Bulls but not LeBron"

 

[zack54attack]

Fuck LeBron. I don't want him.

Right. On. Cue.

I respect LeBron's game, he is a helluva player. That said, LeBron the man is flawed. He's too superficial, overly sensitive and narcissistic for my tastes. These attributes make him perfectly suited for Miami, and that's where he should stay until he decides to hang it up. He already gave up on Cleveland, giving up on Miami will damage his reputation even further.

In regards to people who fail to understand why the average sports fan hates LeBron, the problem is YOU, not them. Talent will never trump character, but people like you think talent gives athletes entitlement to behave however they want to. This lack of integrity and accountability sends a poor message to our youth, which one of the reasons why our society is so screwed up right now; it's values have been thoroughly compromised.
