4th of July LeBron Thoughts
2010-07-04
So apparently LeBron won’t make his decision tomorrow. That’s fine by me, because it’s Fourth of July Weekend and I had pre-existing plans to enjoy it. Here are some quick thoughts on the situation as it currently stands:
-Hornets are adamant that they won’t move Chris Paul. Raptors are apparently not interested in a sign-and-trade with Bosh. If a move like that doesn’t happen, I don’t see how Cleveland has enough talent to entice LeBron to stay. It would be a remarkable display of loyalty, and I think it remains a legitimate possibility.
-LeBron + Amare + D’Antoni would be a killer pick-and-roll offense. Too bad that team has so many gaping holes. No point guard, Gallinari can’t guard twos, no center, no draft picks, an out-and-out mess. He might get sucked in by that pitch, but I think he’d be much better staying with Cleveland and the solid structure they have in place. By the way “Carmelo and Tony Parker are coming next year” sounded to me like another argument against letting players come into the pros from high school. Be more gullible, dude.
-Man, that was stupid money Joe Johnson got. He’s a second banana, and not even a great one. We have known this for many years. Unbelievable.
-That’s all for now; treat this as an open free agency thread, and I’ll do my best to be on it if any major developments occur.
yeah, bosh isn’t going to the bulls if noah’s not playing the 5. i’m honestly surprised that bosh is insisting on the s&t route. it’s just so much harder to land in a good situation, especially if your team is looking to get similar value. you’re stuck with a big contract on a gutted roster.
Chris Paul also seems like a good guy. Not a lot of those floating around professional sports.
For anyone who doesn’t think it’s possible..just go to numbersdon’t and listen to the podcast that includes raptorsrepublic writer. In it, he actually says Colangelo does NOT want to move Hedo. Even if it’s a bluff…it’s unbelievable to hear.
LBJ hanging with cp3 man we gotta find a way to get himLBJ
i like how all you “experts” about s&t’s (rich excepted) are asking what assets the cavs have without mentioning the expiring and good contracts the cavs can offer!! hello! that’s a HUGE plus! and guess what? toronto loves andy! and do you think any FA is going to chicago if they trade noah? who plays the 5 spot? cuz bosh ain’t gonna! and he ain’t going anywhere where he’ll be asked to play the 5!
good lord…
I have to think you’re right James. There is no way the man is so stupid as to truly think he should keep Hedo and to not try to unload him.
Oh, who’s happy Eyenga was in Akron today playing some pick-up with LBJ? Kid apparently impressed. Excited to see what he’s got at the summer league.
