I never would have thought the idea of LeBron going to the Bulls was even a possibility before last night.

My name's 23ska, and I approve this thread.
Nah, I know there is discussion in other threads about LeBron, but since he is a free agent now... officially... it's about to BLOW UP. A focused thread is definitely beneficial, so long as it's used.
Otherwise, the other FAthread would get clogged w/ some of the MANY rumors and articles, and the forum itself would get the rest of the rumors and articles, in the form of threads. Many of them.
You're one Knicks fan I would never let hear the end of it, if he ends up in ChicagoOriginally Posted by Big J 33
Lebron to Chicago just shows how much power the media has over people.
Before last night I can't remember the majority of people saying Chicago was a frontrunner, they were always a possibility, but I kept hearing Wade would come back home and join up with Rose. Now suddenly because a few unknown GMs say it's a chance now everyone is on board.
I don't think Chicago would work out with Rose and LBJ, both need the ball in their hands to be effective. And then Chicago is going to get Bosh too? not without giving up Noah or Gibson, or even both. Toronto has no use for Deng or Henrich so scratch that possibility.

You're squad is the definition of garbage Big J and you know it. If you had the same pieces in place that the Bulls do, then I would say Lebron to the Knicks makes complete sense.

My point was that few reports, "experts", people on here were talking about Lebron to Chicago as a sure thing... NOW because a few stories come out, suddenly everyone has been on board all along and "IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE"... except we never talked about it as a sure fire choice until now.
And I didn't even bring the Knicks into my post, I was speaking on Chicago and now they're going to magically get LBJ, Bosh, all without giving up any of their young core, or somehow package Deng and Henrich like Toronto or Cleveland would be interested in those players. And since you brought up NYC, Rose is better than Douglas, that's for sure, but calling Chandler and Gallinari garbage is a bit of a stretch considering you don't exactly have two future hall of famers in Gibson or Noah. They're talented young players, but let's not get too ahead of ourselves.
I'm not calling Chicago garbage or saying there's no shot in getting Lebron, but commenting on how quickly people's opinions and ideas can change. And you still didn't explain how Rose and LBJ would work out, or how you'd get Bosh too, you just tried to clown the Knicks. Chicago is sitting in a great spot. Pair rose with a great outside shooter like Joe Johnson, or go after a scoring PF like Bosh and they'd be a force in the East.

No reason to come at Big J IMO...dude is legit.
And like he said, Chicago media/hype for Bron is hilarious. NOBODY was talking abut Chicago before last night.
Even though CHI's roster and situation might make sense, the fact that his massive ego would take a GUARANTEED backseat to MJ for the rest of his life is something I can't see him or his "team" of people being cool with.
His best decision is to hit NYC with Chris Bosh. He will have the best PF in the world by his side for years to come/someone who will get guaranteed buckets in every game no matter what the situation is.
And I think he could legitimately come close to pulling off an Oscar Robertson in D'Antoni's system.
Good for you, you're a Bulls fan. Every franchise in the league has CLUELESS fans talking about the possibility of Bron coming to their team (not saying you're clueless, just that YOU saying he is coming to CHI, and thinking that that holds weight is funny).Originally Posted by I Noah Dentist

I never said my statement held weight. However, from a basketball standpoint, the Bulls always should have been in the discussion for Lebron. They have a great young core and one of the best, most humble, unselfish point guards in the league. They also have the best fanbase in all of sports. Bulls fans continue to pack arenas even when their team is bad. Another thing I've found funny throughout this is that people put so much emphasis on the fact that Lebron is a New York Yankee fan therefore he loves New York and wants to play there. The same people who base their facts on Lebron being a fan of the Yankees, must have failed to realize Lebron was/is a Chicago Bulls fan too. It is just a little harder to rock a Bulls fitted when you play for another NBA team.Originally Posted by EnEyeKayEe

I was referring to knowledgeable league sources/LeBron's CAMP (i.e., the dude that broke the news of "3 GM's think he's coming to Chicago" has been wrong so many times, Knick fans are actually happy HE is the one reporting this "news").

Those are interesting and good points.Originally Posted by franchise3
Bucher made some good points on SVP's radio show
- More then likely it'd be sign and trade if he left. How many guys turn down that extra year?
- At the very worst, by coming back to Cleveland, Cleveland will love him forever, and people can respect that he was loyal and tried to bring a 'ship to his hometown (even if he doesn't)
- Leaving signals that he can't do it himself, and needs help.
