The whole treating the free agency process like its a toy was embarrassing, and Bosh has no shame at all.
He isnt even a superstar though, thats the funniest part about Gilberts diatribe
I think the league shouldn't have allowed the whole spectacle to go down like that but at the same time it created a HUGE buzz which is what the NBA needs.

When I told my wife that he signed with Miami to play with Dwade & Bosh the first thing she said was "who is Bosh"...lol

Re: Free Agent Tracker (PG 1) & Off Season Movement

As a fan of a team that has and will never be in title contention, gotta say i wasnt annoyed at all. Was pure entertainment, i like the new landscape of the league, the west is a little weaker with boozer, and amare gone. Chance for the griz to sneak into the playoffs........ maybe

LOL. Nation of Grizzlam will take any W they can.

As a follower of another losing franchise it just cemented our spot on the bottom for the next 5 years. Oh well, at least I'll get to see that trio live at least twice a year for 5 years.

Heat have like no more assets to trade.

Can two teams get traded player exemptions from the same team? I dunno.

Re: Free Agent Tracker (PG 1) & Off Season Movement

Why LeBron would create that type of atmosphere is beyond me. Doing this 'one hour special' instead of just having a regular press conference was just going to alienate a lot of fans one way or another.

If he would have choose to go back to Cleveland, then he would have had the whole New York area up in arms. And that would have resulted in him pissing off the largest market in the country.

If he could have choose Chicago, he would have pissed off not only New York people but Cleveland people as well. BUT I got a feeling that their hatred wouldn't have been as high as it is now. Cleveland people would have been upset, but I doubt that the owner would have blasted Lebron and fans wouldn't have been burning his jersey in the streets.

BUT instead, he choose the worst scenario in Miami. And this is not just Cavs and Knicks fans he's pissed off, from what I'm seeing the majority of NBA fans highly disapproves of his actions.

If he would have had a regular press conference earlier in the week, the backlash he got would have simmered down by now. BUT I think he unwillingly painted himself as the villain by doing this charade. NOW, if he doesn't win a title next year, he's going to be looking at himself in the mirror asking, 'What have I gotten myself into?'

Re: Free Agent Tracker (PG 1) & Off Season Movement

looks like the Bulls are in open talks with Korver. This would be a great move for the Bulls.

PLEASE GET HIM BEFORE Miami does. And since the Bulls have the money, I wish they sign Mike Miller just so Miami can't sign him.

Re: Free Agent Tracker (PG 1) & Off Season Movement

I guess I'm happy. I think I am. As an old Heat fan, I would have personally preferred him to stay in Cleveland or go to the Knicks to re-ignite the Heat/Knicks and with the Bulls improvement, the Celtics and the Magic, the East would have been real interesting.

Now, I don't post a lot but I have come here just about every day for nearly 7 years because there are some good opinions here and it's good reading. But, I think I'll take a month or so off. Some of the posts here are simply crazy and I'll return when people have got their wits about them again.

Wade, Bosh, LeBron in Miami doesn't bother me a bit. The way got there does. I feel as though they thumbed their nose at the league and did not act with any sense of professionalism or class. The whole thing seemed like such a charade and reality TV program to me. LaBron's "The Decision" may have been one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen.

The reaction pretty much everywhere today is not a positive one. I think they're a little suprised at that. I think in their little world this was gonna be such a big thing from a branding standpoint. I think they've underestimated their audience just a bit. The whole thing reeks to me in the end. If they would've just announced in a normal press conference that they were signing with the Heat without this charade of possibly signing here and there I would've been fine. Whenever I stuff like this I just think to myself that I can't wait til football season starts.
Yeah I'm not hatin' on them for joining the same team. It was within their rights and rules of the CBA. It's HOW they went about the whole thing is what has people up in arms then all 3 of them joining the same team.
