    Oh snap.
    Yep, that's what I was saying.. I bet you the Rockets and Lakers were those teams. Everyone, including Bosh, is just waiting on LeBron. If LeBron stays, Bosh stays. If LeBron leaves, a flood of teams will bid on Bosh. As it stands, LeBron is holding the process

      Wade and Bosh definitely have suitors man...they ether haven't green lit any face meetings meetings or we just haven't heard about it...but there's no way their phones just aren't ringing at all while Ben Gordon's and Jodie Meeks are getting signed...

        He's definitely caught in a pickle right now. If he signs a long-term deal (That rumored 5 years, 90 million), and Bron signs a 1-2 year max, he might be stuck on a team that has a broken down Wade and very little else in 2 years.

        Or, LeBron might bail now, leaving him to decide between staying where he's comfortable, and going somewhere to chase a championship.

          Im sure they do, I just find it odd that they've been absolutely quiet when the situation is similar to when they first got together. All free agents, all able to help someone win, all at the same time and we're only talking about LeBron and Carmelo only.

            You guys think that's what we're about to see here? Another pre determined team up between stars?

            Why would he do that when he could just wait til Durant became a free agent and hook up with him instead?

              I would imagine because he's closer friends with Melo than he is Durant.

                  Nope LBJ is staying and so is Melo. I think the whole super team era is over for now.

                    I couldn't see any NY team up...much like the whole Melo to MIA thing, it makes for good conversation on First Take...but that's about it...

                      With miamis run more or less over, indy having the mental fortitude of a three year old toddler, and melo going back to new york. What is the east gonna look like now? Seems clear that if things go as predicted, west teams are basically assured championships for the next few years.

                          Yeah, but he's still only just turning 30 and has at least 5 years of this level of ball in his future. And the allure is playing with his friend. Same as it was four years ago.

                              Trust me it was. If I would've told you 5-7 years ago that Kobe,Dwight,Pau,Nash or LBJ,Wade,Bosh was one 1 team you would've told me I'm high as hell. With the way the new CBA is now I can't see many guys turning down that extra 30 million regardless of what anyone says. Only person so far has been Dwight I think it stays like that for along time.

                                Man its honestly not worth talking about because it might as well be a Broussard story.

                                In reality I have no idea what Pat Riley is going to do is the bigger story I think

                                LeBron currently in Miami working out, has his mom there, and then hanging at his wifes juice bar... Doesn't look like a dude trying to leave to me
