LeBron James Is Ready For Prime Time
On one hand, LeBron James is an infinitely talented basketball player. On the other hand, he’s coming off like a douchebag. Yeah. I said it. So, what does LeBron do? I envision this whole ordeal as if it were a high schooler choosing his college of choice. Bron-Bron at a table with World Wide Wes [...]
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade & Chris Bosh Are Still Free
The only news to come from the NBA in the days following the opening of the free agent market is that there was no news to report from any of the top three free agents. Joe Johnson re-upped with the Atlanta Hawks, getting a max deal in the process in a town where no one [...]
Courting The King: Bulls Get Last Shot At LeBron James
When I was a kid playing baseball, I would fight tooth-and-nail to get last raps on the diamond. Today, the Chicago Bulls get last bats in a very important game that could shape what happens on the NBA hardwood for years to come. Owner Jerry Reinsdorf, coach Tom Thibodeau and the rest of the Bulls’ [...]
Dwyane Wade Should Give Bulls Serious Consideration
Remember when drafting Derrick Rose over Michael Beasley over Derrick Rose was a widely criticized move by analysts and others craving a big man? Drafting Rose a few years back might have been a franchise-saving move today. Imagine a roster in which the only players currently under contract are Mario Chalmers and Beasley. The former [...]
Everyone Has A Source. Here’s Mine In Regard To NBA Free Agency
Yesterday, I blogged (with tongue firmly planted in cheek) about how everyone has a source. In more proof of that, I present Exhibit A. Myself. A source close to me wrote in an e-mail that LeBron James is planning to move his future summer camps to Chicago. The same source also forwarded me a link [...]
Do You Know Where Your NBA Free Agents Are?
We are a little more than one hour into the free agency period and as of right now, we know nothing more than what we knew coming into July 1, 2010. And thus far, that might be the most intriguing thing about this whole scenario. Everyone has a reliable source who has given them good [...]
Why Not Carmelo Anthony?
Carmelo Anthony isn’t a free agent, but he could be in line to make a move sometime in July. Via the Denver Post: The Nuggets are pressing Carmelo Anthony for a long-term commitment, because if he declines a three-year, $65 million contract extension now on the table, the team must consider trading its leading scorer. [...]
Joining Dwyane Wade Wouldn’t Help LeBron James’ Legacy
LeBron James wants to become one of the NBA’s all-time greatest players, if not challenge for Michael Jordan’s throne. If he didn’t want to be among the first names to leave your lips when discussing the all-time best, he would have never aligned with Nike. He would have never teamed up with William “World Wide [...]
Bulls Approaching Obstacles As Free Agency Looms
Once upon a timer, Chicago Bulls fans believed that a lack of star power would keep a once-proud franchise from luring an elite-level free agent.
The arrival of certified all-star point guard Derrick Rose, along with the development of Joakim Noah have put those fears to rest.
Fast forward to June 2010, where Chicago’s front office packaged [...]
Following Michael Jordan’s Legacy Shouldn’t Faze LeBron James
Apparently, there is a recent addition to the NBA rule book that states: “No player who plays in Chicago can ever be great because His Royal Highness Michael Jordan once played there.”
With that said, the Bulls are destined for a lifetime of 41-41 records.
The same logic should prevent the Yankees from ever signing a top-notch [...]
