So Dallas and Houston are playing chess right now. With Morey discussing a sign and trade, the 72-hour clock hasn't started, which means there is more time to free things up for Bosh and wait on LeBron to announce.

Please for the love of god, can he just make this whole circus stop!! Just come home Bron!!

EDIT: From what they are saying, they are beefing up security because of concerns of celebration? Take that for what its worth in this crazy situation.

Tony Parker is hopeful that Pau Gasol with sign with the Spurs.
The Spurs are reportedly on the outskirts of the teams who are likely to land Gasol, but that hasn't stopped Parker from hoping his friend will join the NBA champs. "I'd love to play with Pau Gasol. If he doesn't choose us, we will go dinner and take a good wine as we always do," Parker said. Gasol would make an interesting addition to the defending champions and would have a good chance to maintain his fantasy value playing alongside Tim Duncan.


no

If Pau to the Spurs happens, Bron might as well just wait for Cleveland to develop lol.

Though the Bulls had yet to be told officially they're out of the Anthony sweepstakes, the New York Daily News reported Anthony will make his Knicks' announcement Thursday. That would intensify the Bulls' pursuit of Gasol, and league sources indicated the Bulls hope to pursue sign-and-trade options with the Lakers for him involving Carlos Boozer's expiring salary.



quote:

The window to use the amnesty provision on Boozer's salary officially opened at 11:01 p.m. Wednesday. But the Bulls all along have been trying to trade him, not only to relieve themselves of their financial commitment to him but more to stay above the salary cap. This would allow them to use exceptions to sign other players. Nikola Mirotic, Trevor Ariza, Shawn Marion, Kirk Hinrich and Ramon Sessions are just some of the possibilities.



quote:

Sources indicated Anthony strongly considered the Bulls after feeling a personal and professional connection with their in-person pitch July 1. A source familiar with their presentation said Anthony presented a professional manner throughout, engaging in basketball conversation with Tom Thibodeau and easily bantering with Taj Gibson, Joakim Noah, Scottie Pippen and Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf at dinner.

Though Derrick Rose didn't attend the dinner, his roughly 20-minute talk inside the Bulls' locker room with Anthony went well, a source said. Gibson and Noah talked up Rose's desire to win and humble, team-first nature at the dinner, the same source indicated.



quote:

Without a sign-and-trade transaction, the most the Bulls could offer Anthony without gutting their team was four years and $73 million.

Conversely, the Bulls actually can outbid serious suitors for Gasol, other than the Lakers. But Gasol, who knew he would be taking a pay cut from the $19.3 million he made last season, is more likely to leave the Lakers without them landing Anthony. In a more advantageous salary-cap situation, they offered Anthony four years and $96 million.

Gasol, 34, is drawing serious interest from the Thunder, Spurs, Heat and Knicks. But those teams are all limited by exceptions that the Bulls could trump. It's unlikely if the Bulls land Gasol that the deal would be longer than three years.

I figure he might as well go to Cleveland if that's the case. They couldn't beat SAS without Pau. They damn sure aren't doing it with Wade another year older and Danny friggin Granger. Might as well start building chemistry with Kyrie and Love.

People would probably rush order more LeBron Cavs jerseys off of eBay and Amazon to burn if he stays in Miami.

Y'all gotta remember Cleveland is located in Ohio, where they look for excuses to burn couches. LeBron is fearing for his furnitures lives.
