Given the number of relationships Jalen Rose has in the league, both with players and coaches (he also has a relationship with world wide wes, of course so do a million others) id doubt he couldn't do better than a guy like Chris Broussard, not to mention if Broussard heard that he'd report it himself anyway

I wouldn't put 100% stock in any source, because sometimes "sources" have ulterior motives for disseminating the information they do. Even if he heard this from a legit source its possible the source misled him for their own reasons. But i don't doubt Jalen Rose heard this from someone who he feels "would know"

ESPN has them taking turns.

despite Jalen
think LBJ has good chance to reture to cleve for minimum yrs as much as he has going elsewhere

we'd be crazy to think he has no shot at going back to cleveland.

You wonder if Bosh knows something too, and that is why we have heard him say that the Knicks are one of the teams he's considering, no matter what LeBron does, and that he won't wait to see what James will do before making his own decision.

Bosh randomly tweeted yesterday that he loved the Waverly inn (in NY)

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

LeBron's Representatives Refute Report From Jalen Rose

According to a source, representatives of LeBron James have denied the report from Jalen Rose on Wednesday which claimed that James was almost certain to leave the Cavaliers.

James' representatives insisted that no decision of any sort has been made and stated that the report from Rose is inaccurate.

On his Twitter page, Rose reported that James has all but decided to depart Cleveland and had whittled his likely destinations down to Chicago, Miami and the Clippers.

Well, Knicks basketball has been dead for the last decade. What do you think is going to happen if LeBron James is winning championships in Chicago and we continue to stink? Do you all realize that we will not be able to build a title contender if King James turns us down? Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Amare Stoudemire are not coming here to play by themselves. If we get dissed by LeBron, we're looking at Joe Johnson and David Lee. We'll continue to terrible/mediocre for at least the next 5 years. This is not being negative, this is being realistic. We simply cannot fail this summer.

Maybe he just doesn't like that Rose is too close to the truth with his comments. Is Jalen using info that was supposed to be "confidential?"

I wouldn't exactly call Bosh + JJ + Lee a fail. There are all sorts of possible permutations of the team that would be far more competitive than anything we've seen since Latrell. You are just too uptight about Lebron to use your imagination and conceive of a solid squad. But that doesn't mean we will suck.

We have nearly over $40 mil in cap space (if you consider Eddy) and we are going to build a solid team THIS SUMMER. My personal feeling is that it will be centerd on Lebron and Bosh. But there are myriad other possibilities.

I agree, Chris Bosh plus Joe Johnson wouldn't be a failure. I don't think we'll ever make the ECF but those two but we can be one of the top 4 teams in the East. We'll be what Atlanta has been the last few years. But I just don't see that happening. Bosh doesn't come across to me as a player who would want to come here by himself and be the 'Man' in New York. I don't think it's in his DNA. And even though he's made comments about wanting to be the center piece of a team, I really think Bosh wants to be a 'Pau Gasol' to LeBron James or Dwyane Wade.

So without King James, Wade and Bosh, who is left? Can't say I feel too confident about signing Amare Stoudemire after his beef with Mike D'Antoni. It really just leaves Johnson, David Lee, Carlos Boozer and Rudy Gay. I don't see how we're going to build a title contender with that group of players.

If Gallinari becomes the type of player I think he can become, a team led by Bosh-Gallo-JJ could be real good real fast in the East. And I think Bosh would be an absolute monster with that type of shooting around him and the spacing he'd be allowed with that lineup. Not a title contender without more moves, but its a nice start. Im not the biggest joe Johnson fan but ive resigned myself to the fact that he's a very likely fallback option if LeBron doesn't come. Its also very tough right now to get a gauge on next years Eastern Conference. Outside of Orlando, if you had to bet right now, who else is a lock to win 50+ in the East? No one. We don't know where LeBron is going, we don't know who all these teams are going to sign, who Miami or Chicago are getting, Boston will be a year older and has Allen and Doc status up in the air. Every team has major moves to make this offseason.

If Lebron comes to NY , I will stop posting about 911
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

Just throwing this out there.

- Chris Bosh is slated to appear tomorrow on "Mike and Mike", has been in the NY and conn. area past couple days, will be in-studio in bristol tomorrow
- Jalen Rose works for ESPN, was a former teammate of Chris Bosh his first 2 years in the league. Good chance they've spoken in the last couple of days because Bosh and Rose's duties tomorrow will both find them in the same building, heck Bosh may even have been phsycially there today

Chances Rose got this stuff from Chris Bosh? Maybe his old teammate doing him a solid and allowing him to break something? This is of course assuming Bosh has an idea about LeBron's intentions and has spoken at some point with him in the last couple of years about the possibilities of their FA (which is probably a good assumption, i can't imagine these players have never talked amongst themselves at some point, as if they are really going to make these life and league altering decisions in 2-3 days at the start of July, based on a visit or something). There has also been talk in the past week about Cleveland contacting toronto about bosh in a potential sign and trade, which of course would need Bosh's consent. Its possible Bosh very recently got wind of James intentions somehow or another because that would obviously have been key in a decision either way. Rose seems to be 100% sure that his sources here would know LeBrons intentions. If I were him id consider a guy like Bosh a good source here

Totally speculative, but i just find it an odd coincidence that Rose comes out with this today

I am really interested to see how Gallo has developed physically, but I am also intrigued about whether or not he will try to assert himself as an on the court leader this year. A lot will depend one whether or not we get Lebron. I can see Gallinari as a leader even if we get Bosh, though.

Somebody has to step up this year, whether it be a FA import, Gallo, or Douglas, if he is still on the team.
