Looks like we will be waiting on Melo and TP if this is true.

One more thing - Florida has no state income tax, so these guys would be saving some major $$$ even if they don't get a max contract.

In NY they would be paying HUGE taxes on their income.

i think the only two teams that make sense if he leaves CLE are MIA and NYK.

i think MIA with wade and bosh and riley is the bigger draw - easier to win championships, all sorts of ridiculous marketing opps for the big three. wade and bosh are basically calling bron's bluff right now.

i think he's going to miami.

it would take a lot of belief in himself and courage for him to come to NY. i don't think he has that in him. bron is a follower through and through. dude even wore #23 upon coming into the NBA. no creativity or originality. he'll go to miami because that's the easiest, baloney-est path for him to take.

NY and CHI have to be pissed - World Wide Wes sold them a mother lode of poop and they decimated their teams. Chicago moreso than us. They gave away Salmons, Tyrus Thomas, Kirk Hinrich and a first round pick to get... uh... boozer? maybe? if they're lucky. though people are saying boozer to the nets or utah at this point. and dlee might work with the knicks to get that 6th year in a S&T. Chicago could get shut out hard.

Knicks will have to build smartly with multiple pieces. Don't say Melo is coming - if he were to come here he'd have to leave over $60M on the table this summer and head into an unknown collective bargaining agreement. Knicks have to try to use their cap room to facilitate trades.

If that happens look for teams to start goon squads and keep them on their backsides. Sure they get some foul shots but by the second half of the season their bodies will have played a season and an a half.

No way does Bosh not take the max to play with JUST Wade.

Where did you get that Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade aren't signing for the MAX?

They said they are willing to take less and this is about winning. They also said no contract details have been worked out.

Bosh didnt seem all that enthused during the interview either.

bosh wanted full 6yr $120M cheddar. probably realized toronto wasn't going to facilitate chicago or miami and had to settle for whatever miami can offer.

couldn't have happened to a nicer diva.

Lebron to KNicks would not sit well with lots of people. Lebron to Miami with those two could end up being a marked and hated player.

He is too cautious with his reputation.

Crazy from the heat!

Just heard Broussard on sportscenter say he is most likely going to Miami.

If 'bron does go to MIA, then we remake ourselves in the physical style of the late 90's - bring Oakley back to coach intimidation - and we bring these guys to their knees every time we meet.

Actually, we should do that even if we do get 'bron. But wouldn't mind some bloodied faces and such on the MIA squad in this event.

The new new core: Randle, RJ, IQ. Maybe Mitch. Future pick. Future trade. Future FA.
