NY, Chicago or re-signing are the most likely. I see him going to NY to be honest.

just sayin....WGN was reporting that Lebron was looking at houses in Highland Park (just north of Chicago proper, same suburb where MJ lived, close to the Berto Center where the Bulls practice).

Rose, James, Noah....and Bosh after all is said and done? All of that on top of a few Stanley Cups.....

Shortly after the Cavaliers were eliminated by the Celtics in the semifinals last Thursday night, LeBron James placed a call to Bulls point guard Derrick Rose.

Rumor is that James told Rose that he likes his game, his team and would like a chance to play together.

Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald writes that it's quite possible he made similar calls to Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh or Brook Lopez, but James has made it clear that he's intrigued by Chicago.

The phone call to Rose was mentioned by ESPN reporter Scoop Jackson and confirmed by a league source.

The Bulls have $20 million in cap space this summer, enough to sign James outright.
really?

If Lebron has the balls to live in newark over the next 2-3 years, i'd have this new level of respect for him.

I hope he lives in camden if this happens.

I get the whole "doesn't wanna play in Jersey" but he doesn't have to live there too. The Meadowlands are, what, like 15-to-30 minutes away from Manhattan (~hour if there's traffic)? Especially if he's right there in Tribeca with Jay-Z, he can just get on the Holland Tunnel and be in Jersey in 2 minutes. Not so sure that'd he sign with the Nets, but if he doesn't it wont be because he doesn't want to live in Jersey. He doesn't have to.

Depends on where in manhattan. If he lives in tribeca, it's definitely no where near 15 minutes.

I dont think it matters about actually where he lives, just the market for the team. New Jersey Nets is going to be NEW JERSEY NETS for at least a couple more years. He will become immortal if he does well in NY or Chi, and I think he is chasing that more then he is chasing that ring.

After days of speculation about a rumored relationship between Gloria James and LeBron Jamesג teammate Delonte West, Hall of Fame Rockets player Calvin Muphy said the story was true in a radio interview in Houston with an ESPN affiliate according to Deadspin.

גIt ainגt no rumor,ג Calvin Murphy said. גUnfortunately, my sources in the NBA tell me that itגs absolutely true. My sources, and theyגre legit, tell me the only people that didnגt know it was happening was LeBron and me.ג

גAnd let me tell you something. Delonte West now is one of these players now that is going to get what they call the old proverbial black ballג¦I could not imagine me being in that situation and him still being on my team cause one of us is going to be dead and the other one is going to be in jail.ג

My colleague George Diaz talked about how this story has been ignored by much of the mainstream media, but AOLגs story officially ushered this into the mainstream.

Although Calvin Murphy has questionable character given his background, his comments certainly make you wonder if this story has some legs. It would certainly give some explanation for LeBron Jamesג playoff performances.

In light of Murphyגs comments, do you believe LeBron James will stay in Cleveland or has he already packed (and maybe his momגs) bags?

I am not a Lebron fan. However, I'm a Bulls fan before anything. I obviously would not want to pass up the opportunity to get anyone who can help us win championships on our team. If this means getting Lebron, then so be it. Until this happens and he does in fact bring us championships, I will remain a Lebron hater.

I just hate his personality. If he ever grows the fuck up and stops trying to be the world's biggest self-promoter, I would come around. But I don't see that happening soon, and I still don't think he's coming. Why would I want to see pictures of his balding mug all over my favorite city anyway.

Sources: Bosh gives Raptors wish list
ESPN.com news services

CHICAGO -- Chris Bosh's agent has told the Toronto Raptors that he's narrowed his list of preferred teams to five, two sources told ESPN.com's Chad Ford at the NBA draft camp.

The list of five teams -- Toronto plus the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat and New York Knicks, sources said -- were given to Toronto management in case the Raptors want to construct a sign-and-trade deal (assuming he doesn't re-sign with Toronto).

Bosh likes that option, sources told Ford, because he'd get one more year on his contract and could make more money.

Sources said the Raptors prefer a sign-and-trade if Bosh is intent on leaving as well. They likely would want a big man to replace the 6-10, 230-pound Bosh in the lineup.

One source said Bosh's decision hinges on where LeBron James signs.

"If LeBron decides to go to either New York or Chicago, I think that's where you'll see Chris land," the source told Ford. "If LeBron stays in Cleveland, I think the process is more wide open."

Bosh, 26, is an unrestricted free agent. He averaged 24 points per game last season and has averaged 20.2 points per game for his career.

So say Lebron goes to Chi and then Chi does sign and trade for Bosh and send them Deng and Heinrich..

Rose
____
Lebron
Bosh
Noah

They would need a shooter for cheap at the 2.. The only free agent options I could think of is Mike Miller and Quentin Richardson.

Is everyone here convinced that Calipari is leaving Kentucky? I just don't see it. I'm obviously hoping he sticks around but I can't really figure out why he'd want to go to the pros.

Enlighten me

Coach Cal is not leaving Kentucky this year. He's said so himself. Wall said today at the combine he believes strongly that Cal will return, that Kentucky is his dream job. Cal has Brandon Knight and Keater coming this year, but what's crazy is the junior class he has lined up is even better. Cal has verbals from the #1 player in Michael Gilchrist, the #2 player and best point guard Marquis Teague, and lots of people believe Quincy Miller (another 10 top 2011 recruit) will join the duo. Miller has said in interview him and Gilchrist text each other everyday, only a matter of time before he his commits. I think Cal will be there another 2 years, or until they bust him.

Agent Henry Thomas on Friday denounced a report by ESPN that stated he had narrowed down a list of preferred destinations for Toronto Raptors free-agent client Chris Bosh.

Thomas, who also represents Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade, another pending free agent, said he has not forwarded any such list to Raptors General Manager Bryan Colangelo.

"I haven't closed the door on anything," Thomas insisted. "I haven't given Bryan any lists. There is no list. This is a process that is ongoing."
