2010 Free Agency Discussion Thread

[puttincomputers]

unless nelson goes down. then nelson could be a piece of crutch.

[Andrew]

Guess he's taking Jason Williams' spot. Decent pickup for the Magic I suppose, doesn't make them a lock for anything.

[shadowgrin]

Duhon is a downgrade from Williams.

James, Wade and Bosh to discuss plans

LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are expected to share a conference call on Wednesday to discuss free agency and try to move closer to finalizing their decisions, a league source with knowledge of the plan told Yahoo! Sports.

James has the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls and New Jersey Nets as his top three choices, sources said. Still, Cleveland has reemerged as the leader to keep James and Cavaliers officials are confident the two-time MVP will choose to re-sign with them.

Bosh and Wade are still considering playing together with Miami, Chicago and New Jersey, sources said. Wade hasn’t committed to re-signing in Miami and is still strongly considering the Bulls. He is intrigued with the talent that would surround him with the Bulls, as well as family considerations that would benefit from proximity to his ex-wife and children in Illinois.

Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are teaming up together on the Miami Heat, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

I want to believe this.

That's good news to wake up to. Nice job Riley!

[Andrew]

The "source" sounds pretty sure, but then so have a lot of supposed insiders so far this offseason. Guess we'll find out pretty soon.

[Sauru]

great news imo. i want lebron back in cleveland and titleless for his entire career

[Bodz]

Breaking news from NBA.com; that Wade & Bosh are to sign with Heat.

[J@3]

Bodz got the scoop on that one.

[Martti.]

Looks like pretty done deal looking at ESPN. So well done, Riley! Not overpaying Boozer or Joe Johnson.

Now, get some good pieces around them. Don't know how Beasley will fit with them, I liked the rumor of him going to Dallas for Haywood and Beaubois, but that was quickly shot down. But a guy like Haywood would be perfect.

I still hope they can keep Dorell Wright and Haslem too, maybe Q-Rich is willing to take the min contract to stay in South Beach.

The heat bandwagon is about to quadruple in size...

If they get Lebron: they're going to be insane playing 3 on 5 every night.

[Alpha_]

WTF Bosh will join Wade in Miami.. aw..

...and you can forget about playing online, too.

[koberulz]

I think at this point, we can be absolutely sure that Jalen Rose was 0-2 a couple of years back when he predicted Bron and Bosh at the Knicks.

[deihatein]

Even if Bosh and Lebron lands in Miami with Wade, I don't think they will be favorites to win the championship. Well to me that is. I am not currently liking this offseason, maybe because it is still early, lack of good draft deal trades, internet spoiling me or because it is always Lebron. The one thing I like about offseason is surprises, just like how Boston turn things around by getting Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett 3 years ago.

[Jackal]

Imagine they have a feud during the course of the season a la Kobe/Shaq.

I don't think that'll happen, Wade seems pretty all right cept for his dramatics. But it would make for some good drama.

[buzzy]

Meanwhile Kevin Durant apparently has signed a five-year extension with the Thunder .

Exstension for 5 more years wit the #thunder....God Is Great, me and my family came a long way...I love yall man forreal, this a blessing!

Wade and Bosh to Miami is now 100%, Wade just posted a video on his Facebook page about that he is back and is taking Bosh with him. Plus they were both on SC telling it.

[IcemanOutlaw]

Lebron to Miami also?

Miami needs to be retarded, what will be Chalmers, Beasley? Probably all of this pair will want a contract like this: >4 yr/>40.00 M

[Axel The Great]

Badger you need to be retarded.

[Murat]

If I have a rank, I will write this:
"Proud to be Retarded"

[Sauru]

wtf?

[Axel The Great]

If I have a rank, I will write this:
"Proud to be Retarded"

So your lack of fluency in English makes you retarded?
