I don't think Rose and Lebron are really that great of a fit. If you're going to play with a guy who needs the ball a lot anyway, why not just go play with Wade +1 other max?

Yeah, who hits jumpers in Chicago with that lineup? Lebron has to have a couple of legit 3 point threats around him. If I were the Bulls, I would looking at adding Lebron and Kyle Korver and someone else, not Lebron and Bosh.

Kirk Hinri- oh...But the other +1 max guy could be Joe Johnson (who isn't really a max contract guy, but whatever), right?

that would make some sense but I dont know how many guys you can have who will want the ball. They have to find a 3 who can hit 3s though. I still think Lebron ends up back in Cleveland.

So who is this guy anyway and what's his connection with Lebron? With the way Lebron has handled this whole free agency thing, it makes zero sense that he would let somebody leak this kind of information if it were true. This actually makes me think he has less sway with Lebron than previously thought.

Here's a good article about Wes from GQ: http://www.gq.com/sp...-nba-basketball

That was pretty interesting, thanks.But it makes even less sense to me now that he would make the comment that he did.

Portland firing their general manager one hour before the draft and then asking him to still run the draft (and him still doing it) is one of the most bizarre draft day stories I've heard.Paul Allen is going to ruin the Blazers and Kevin Pritchard will have his choice of where to work next.

There are only 5-10 good GMs in the whole league and Portland just fired one. Not a strong move.

Because it doesn't matter. If lebron says something, it can be considered tampering. But since Wes has no official position with Lebron, then he can say what ever he wants.

I don't think Lebron can tamper with himself.But my point was: Lebron wants to make this offseason all about him and loves the attention. Why would he want any information leaked about where he's going? He wants it to be a mystery.Obviously this is all speculation, but that's what it seemed like to me.

Stephen A Smith reports Lebron and Bosh will join Wade on HeatI still don't think anybody really knows yet.

I guess I don't see Wes Making a comment as some how taking away from attention. Teams are still going to shower him with attention in the off chance he changes his mind. in fact, it might inspire them to shower harder.

They say that Pritchard is a good player personel guy but isn't a good people person and especially isn't good with his superiors.

Steven A Smith is a total douchbag who is always making crap up.

Pretty sure teams are going to go all out regardless of what they hear.But this is really all I'm saying, IF it is true that Lebron is definitely going to Chicago:The people who would actually know this would be really close to Lebron. The people who would be really close to Lebron wouldn't go against his wishes and leak this information.That's just my opinion and there are some pretty obvious assumptions I'm making to reach that conclusion.

I hope these ****ers make a superteam and get crushed by the Lakers every year in June. Then Kobe can tell every player in the history of basketball to suck it.

I hope that they make their superteam and crush the Chris Wallace hand delivered superteam Lakers in 5 straight finals so Kobe retires with 5, Wade has 6, and Kobe can suck it.

Kobe's only playing 4 more years before he goes to Italy, so Wade can only get even on Kobe's watch.I really hope this doesn't happen in Miami, it would be a million times cooler if they all went to NY. Unfortunately, there's probably no way the Knicks can get rid of Curry's contract to do so.
