The past week made it pretty obvious LeBron would come back here but it is still super hype. Once we have Love it's GG.

Also it is plain to see that Emperor Stern organized this whole thing years ago, the Big Three in Miami, all the #1 picks for Cleveland, and then LeBron coming back. Stern is an evil mastermind.

if love really does want to play with lebron then he could use the extension thing to threaten potential teams and lower cav's competition for him. idk how he feels about his old team though this would prob be bad form.

We already paid to move Lin. We agreed to move Asik, NOP is working on it, will be interesting if we try to renege on that one.

I guess they couldn't free enough cap space for Bosh. Welp, there goes that superteam. Don't see houston being that much better this year then.

I like this Jeremy Lin trade with Houston.

Sure we're helping them clear space to hunt for Melo or Bosh, but getting a pick out of it and with Lin being an expiring it all seems like a pretty good deal.

Stephen A. says Carmelo is now deciding between either Chicago or New York, I always kind of expected him to go to Chicago, it makes the most sense if what he's after is a ring and not just money.

If he does go there, I'd put them ahead of the Lebron Cavs 2.0 easily if Derrick Rose can somehow make it through a season healthy.

Bosh about getting paid and the mafia lifestyle. Also thought if he moved anywhere it would be Texas, he might retire in Miami now that he is getting paid so well, has his life there, and apparently loves everything about it.

Come on Miami sign IT2. He's super undervalued right now and you can get him cheap.

so like, bosh was waiting for lebron, presumably because he wanted to know if lebron was bolting, lebron leaves, now bosh goes back to the heat? what? And now HOU has to match Parson's offer sheet meaning they'll be tied up for years to come and without picks correct?

I find Wesley Morris of Grantland fascinating (that shows you how artistically illiterate I am) because he is as invested in his analysis of popular culture as I am in, say, political science. It's almost revelatory how he can pull meaning out of things I mostly don't consider at all.

Reading Simmons's article on Lebron (God Loves Cleveland), though, I wonder is he recreating this or is this the delusional puffery of someone who attaches too much importance to sports?
