Man has Brad Sellers filled out or what?!Comment

You are funny! I can't see him staying in Cleveland any longer and imagine if the Bulls decide to pick up the Zen master Phil as their coach again. It is starting to look good for the Bulls right now and if the Lakers do not win a championship this year it will look better.Originally posted by BradleyBrave View PostAnd he looks real good in red."Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...they are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."

So do you think all Bulls fans should be pulling for Orlando?Originally posted by SFP View PostComment

Phil isn't coming, but John Calipari might if it ensures the delivery of LeBron James to Chicago. He's supposedly a favorite to replace Mike Brown in Cleveland now that the Cavs have been eliminated.
Man does that guy look great in red...Onward and Upward!

As a matter of fact you should start pulling for The Suns!Originally posted by romar View Post
I do believe that Orlando matches up real well this year against The Lakers and are playing some great D.
I'm not a Bull's fan but I'd have to say there is some real hope. The Cavs were plainly out coached against the Celtics! If I'm LeBron I'm going to a team with a proven coach."Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...they are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."

I am going with the team who has the best chance to win. The Cavs didn't have the best team, and certainly not the best coach. If I am the Bulls I am talking to LeBron's agent, and asking him who he wants to coach him. Then I go and get that guy.Originally posted by SFP View PostOnward and Upward!

I'm not much of an NBA fan but from an outside perspective, I think Lebron would have a better chance to build his legacy by staying in Cleveland where he is obviously the savior of that franchise. If he goes to chicago he'll forever be compared to MJ and he'll always have the people who'll say he couldn't have done it without Rose and whoever else."How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal, and you have to be willing to work for it." - Jim ValvanoComment

NJ Nets.....Comment

Nets have no chance they are in limbo for 2 more years and Lebron is not going to hang out in Newark waiting for Brooklyn.
If Lebron is anywhere serious about winning he heads to Chicago. It is pretty apparent what is around him in Cleveland isnt going to get it done and they are locked into some difficult contracts for next season.
Chicago has a very good point, an active 5 and other decent pieces to go with James.
But the biggest question will be if Chicago is willing to pony up the money for a Marque head coach. I certainly think Jackson might be interested regardless of the Lakers outcome.. simply to have coached Jordan, Bryant then James.
If Lebron is about money then he stays in Cleveland because they can give him the biggest deal. I think he is about money but it will not be the deciding factor, it will be a big part though.
He will own Chicago, he would have to still share NYC. Owning Cleveland has gotten him nowhere.Comment

This isn't a shot at you deltabrave, because a lot of people make this argument all the time - but I am really tired of this argument. It has no merit whatsoever. Was Kobe afraid of 'following' Magic? Was Shaq afraid of 'following' Jabbar? Were either of them worried about people saying one couldn't win without the other? Was Kevin Garnett worried about not living up to the legacies of Bill Russell or Robert Parrish? Enough of this already. If people really thought this way, no one would ever play for the Lakers, Celtics, or Yankees, and no one would go to North Carolina or Kansas to play basketball, or Notre Dame to play football. Lebron may not end up in Chicago, but it won't be because he's afraid of following whatever legacy Michael Jordan still has in this city. MJ played his last game for the Bulls 12 years ago, and a large number of Bulls fans nowadays never saw him play in Chicago.Originally posted by DeltaBrave03 View PostOnward and Upward!

LeBron wants to play in a major media market. It's reported (though recently denied) that LeBron's contract with Nike pays him much more if he plays for a team in one of the 3 major markets- NY (or New Jersey), Chicago, or LA.
Plus, he wants to play for a team that has the other key pieces in place to win a championship right away- a top quality point guard, a couple other reliable scorers, and a good rebounder who is not selfish and looking to score points himself.
Right now New York doesn't have many of those things, and neither does New Jersey, and both appear to be years away from winning an NBA championship even if they had LeBron. And LA doesn't have room or money for LeBron. Lebron does not want to play for a losing team. So that's part of the reason Chicago is in this discussion. They have more than enough money to offer a maximum contract, and will do so. And they appear to be positioned better than New York or New Jersey to be a title contender with LeBron.
The other advantage Chicago may have is that they do not have a coach- that means they could allow LeBron to "choose" his own hand-selected coach if he came to Chicago. There are rumors that this may be an important criterion for deciding where he plays. Plus LeBron has said he likes Chicago, and it's closer to his home and family in Ohio, which might play a part in his decision.
In the end, I don't believe LeBron will sign with Chicago, but he will give them serious consideration. Though teams are constrained by the NBA to a fixed maximum contract, somehow New York will find ways to throw a whole lot more money his way.Comment
