And Bosh isn't even a superstar


If averaging over 22 and 10 in the past four seasons, 80% from the line, 50% fg, and 4th in PER last year doesn't constitute superstar, then yeah, he's not.

Something tells me this might be a false information, kind to build expectation for the announcement and when everyone will expect Lebron to say "Miami" he will say another city, and thus ESPN will have lots to talk about on how a last minute change of heart was made. Its just my guess for all I know he will end up in Miami

I'm not buying this. I just don't see him going to Miami.

This makes ZERO sense from a financial perspective. This is just a false rumor thrown out by ESPN to get more ratings later tonight.

There is no way in hell he goes to Miami with Wade and Bosh. I will sell my left nut if he does this.

So LeBron is taking less money than both Wade and Bosh, or will they all structure their deals for equal pay?

Bosh is definitely arriving via sign and trade right? Is LeBron getting a sign and trade too?

We'll have to wait for Stephen A Smith to sort this out now. Hilarious that he's the original media source.

Overnight link: LeBron's inner-circle privately telling officials and players the MVP is leaning toward Miami.
Okay, not definite, but adds to the drama

If he's going to Miami, he would immediately become an enemy of the state in Ohio...especially in rubbing it in their face by this prima dona press conference.

I don't believe anything from the (drama) king. This whole scene has been about attention, why should the final 18 hours be any different.

I still think Cle is #1 option with NY #2.

If this happens, how ****ing lucky did the heat all the sudden get? Yes it might not work out, but it would be awesome to go to games and watch these guys play everynight?

it's too bad they don't really have any fans.

Maybe he is using the media to make himself look like an even bigger hero when he surprises everyone and stays in Cleveland.

The lucky people would be those who already bought season tix to the Heat.

I am guessing that these reports are an indication he is not going to Miami. This creates more drama and then he will "shock" everyone when he decides to play for NY or Cleveland.

i tend to agree. I could see them putting out little feelers to reporters saying that he's leaning to miami, knowing they're going to report it. then he can swoop in and save the day for cleveland (or to a lesser extent NY) and of course, get himself a bunch of attention.

I just get the feeling there's gonna be a lot of blowback that he's not expecting (even if he picks Cleveland). He may see it as collateral damage to get where he wants to go, but post-Tiger Woods, I'm not sure it's a good idea to pit your fanbase against you especially if you're depending on marketing and being all things to all people.

I hear Apple is releasing a LeBron James special edition iPhone. It only vibrates because it doesn't come with a ring.

so LeBron is the class of the market but Wade ends up with more years and guaranteed money?

LBJ has another large contract left in his career.

That still doesn't change the fact that he is forfeiting money to go to Miami.

D-Wade made off like a champ in this deal, as it looks like Bosh and LeBron will be the one's sacrificing money and the extra year.

I still think it's all a ruse in an effort to help him look like an even bigger hometown hero when he announces he's staying in Cleveland.

Bron will be a Cav next year. Clev. will then sign Boozer and have a pretty good team.
