Official 2010 NBA Free Agency (UPDATED: Shaq Signs With Celtics)

Anderson Varejao and some other players for Bosh is what I'm hearing

Might as well call them the Toronto Floppers after taking that Sideshow Bob-esque dude :lol:

[QUOTE="mischa_barton"][QUOTE="NetYankEagle"]Bron wont stay in cleveland if he is solo he knows his career is ****ed if he stays in cleveland. I hate that Bosh can only basically sign with a team if its a S&Tmischa_barton

good players in cleveland? Mo williams and Antwan Jamison were the only players that you can label as good. Anyways has anyone been paying attention to summer league 

Bosh doesn't want to go to Cleveland so you can scratch them off the list

I feel bad for that city  :lol:

ESPN, Adande & Bucher all are saying Boozer has signed with the Bulls. Looks like this is legit.

And I have a feeling Bron is going to join Amare in NYC. In that interview Bosh had on ESPN, they asked him why he didn't want to go to Cleveland to join Lebron and Bosh said that he really wasn't sure that Lebron was going to stay in Cleveland. Really makes me feel like Bron is leaning toward going elsewhere with that statement. And I don't think he'll go to Chicago, and I don't think he'll take a paycut and play 2nd fiddle to D Wade in Miami. The next logical choices are NYC and NJ and out of those I have to go with NYC.

ive heard the only 3 choices for bron [prior to the bosh move] were Jersey, Chi-town, and Cleveland....I'd say Jersey has to be a legitimate contender in this. I really like their new owner, and I think that team can make some noise with good ownership/management...the best teams in sports are the teams that have the best men as GMs/owners/etc.

Plus Stoudemire just seems like hed go to NY....D'Antoni's still there, and I was almost positive the Knicks would land at least one big time free agent. 

I think the mystique of playing for the Knicks and in Madison Square Garden is a lot more alluring than the Nets. The Knicks are one of the most recognizable teams in sports and still don't really have a face for their franchise. They've had players like Ewing, Starks, Walt Frazier, Earl the Pearl, and so on but never someone of Lebron's caliber. Lebron could be the one to revitalize New York basketball and that's a huge selling point. Even when the Nets move to Brooklyn the Knicks will still be New York's team.

Guess we'll just have to wait until tomorrow and it pains me to say I will probably watch the Bron press conference :|

Miami is most likely getting LeBron, it's either that or go home...Chicago is in third place some speculate.

Skip Bayless is such a joke :lol:

"LeBron is the league's best passer"

"Kobe played a horrible finals (2010)"

"The only place Lebron should go is Miami"

I am not going to believe anything the media says just because they have been wrong about so much stuff so far. This is how I see the different destinations:

1. NYC: This is still where I think Lebron will end up at the end of the day. The Knicks play in the mecca of basketball and Lebron would be the one to revitalize the Knicks if he goes there. He can start a new legacy in THE place to play basketball. New York has had great teams over the years but never a star on Lebron's level. Lebron will be the face of New York. I think all of this is just too enticing for him, and the fact that the Knicks got Amare and still have more cap room left (depending on what happens with David Lee) if LBJ ends up here definitely helps.

2. Miami: If Lebron doesn't mind being the 2nd fiddle in Wade County this is where he will go. He is close friends with both Bosh and Wade and to be able to team up with both of them is a great opportunity. Personally, I just doubt that he is willing to be the 2nd option.

3. Chicago: This honestly is the most appealing option because Lebron will be the man in Chicago (unlike Miami) with an amazing supporting cast (Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Luol Deng, Boozer, etc.)... however, Lebron wants to create his own legacy and not live in the shadow of MJ's, so he won't go here.

4. Cleveland: I honestly don't see Lebron returning and it would be shocking if he did. Lebron has stated that he wants to win a Championship and over the course of the last 3 years the Cavs have gone from losing in the NBA Finals to losing in the Eastern Conference Finals to losing in the 2nd round. The Cavs obviously are not taking steps in the right direction and have actually been taking steps backward as I just pointed out. His loyalty to Cleveland is strong but not strong enough.

5. New Jersey: They really have no shot right now. They won 12 games last year and have not gotten any better. There are no great free agents left for them to pair with LBJ if LBJ decides to go there. It looks like the Nets are going to be sitting with $30 mill in cap space because no one wants to play there... and they will ultimately end up with players like Tyrus Thomas, Korver, etc. who are the best of what's left in free agency. As for the move to Brooklyn, yeah it helps, but the Nets will always be 2nd to the Knicks in NYC in terms of appeal.

ESPN has proven throughout this whole thing that they really don't have a clue what the **** they're talking about. I'm just waiting to hear what LeBron has to say.JML897

I'm on the NY bandwagon right now for LeBron...saw a tweet today saying that Lebron was seen TODAY [as in this morning] walking out of the Knicks owners house. LeBron to NY, I'm calling it now. 

lmao at a one hour special for thisTheAbstrakt

Lebrons ego is bigger then his head  :lol:

miami heat it is...

time to shut it off 

I'm going with the Knicks. elpooz

sorry folks, its miami

It's not like it was clear cut... it was a pretty close run between there, NY and Chicago.

I'm feeling bad for Amar'e... 

Damn.

Next season's gonna be a historic... For better or worse.

this will be even sweeter if the Lakers beat them in the finals  :lol:

Man, it's gotta suck to be a Cleveland sports fan. The LeBron-less Cavs, the Indians, and the Browns. I'm not sure there's ever been a worse combination of teams in a single city than that.

That first Miami/Cleveland game in Cleveland is going to be really interesting to watch.

Well... I suppose it could be worse. You could be a Seattle fan in 2008 :P

Well yeah, that's true. I guess Cleveland still has a basketball team...kinda...

Mo Williams can go back to being a bum now :)Orlando_Magic

you really don't like him, lol.  Also, Shaq needs to go to the heat.  And Rubbersoul, Lee is a monster.

Dang....

Dan Gilbert is MAD

LMAO, I'd bounce from Leaveland too if this was the type of person I had to deal with . . .

well i know im a couple hours late on the lebron news but.............

there goes half of the cleveland fan base

sorry just had to say it

there's a great supporting cast, and a lack of 1 or 2 superstars. that team will be an 8th seed that may miss the playoffs. smw. 

randolph traded for lee

randolph was the only reason i watched the warriorsrubbersouI

idk, i like lee...he's an average defender, but he can rebound. 

SMH @ Pat Riley playing NBA 2k with trade override and no salary cap . . . fat_rob

lol. The heat probably got like 4 dollars left after this.

dude you guys are fortunate to even get Lee. He's a double double machine EVERY single night and actually has an offensive game.  You also have Curry who was beastin' during the 2nd half of the season and is only going to get better. Ellis was out for most of last season but he's good to go this season and then you have Azubuike who was playing really good until he got injured
