Checkmate

It's is obvious now that Cleveland and Chicago cannot complete a sign and trade for Bosh without giving up pieces of their franchises that interest LeBron. So in either situation he'd be going to a weakened, capped out team Meanwhile the Knicks have already secured Amar'e, whom interests LeBron as much as Bosh does - some say more. And they still have more caproom coming. If LeBron really wants to be a billionaire, transcendant and a winner, I think we have checkmate. Go Knicks!

I think the only other option for LeBron and Bosh is the Nets.

And they're a joke who just had a GM pull out of consideration. You think the GM would do that if there was anything good on the way?

I think it's crazy to rely on a Russian billionaire given that his home country is so unstable that it could once again revert to totalitarianism and confiscate private wealth. I also think that the arena in Brooklyn could be delayed for years, but I don't know what other people think.

RT @WojYahooNBA: Cavs brass are confident of two things now, multiple sources say: Bosh won't play for them next season, but LeBron will.

Cavs understand there are still looming threats to pry LeBron, but getting Bosh isn't make or break on keeping LBJ.

Wojo is a hack.

 
At 3:08 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

Woj has been bad news since he covered the Yanks and Giants.

 
At 3:18 PM, Blogger Michael said...

let's hope he keeps up his wrong streak!

 
At 3:22 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

I don't think this is news that will leak. I think there will be a sudden announcement.

 
At 3:35 PM, Blogger Michael said...

supposedly now the Bulls are going to trade Deng to the Blazers, Wade/Bosh to Bulls sets the stage for LBJ to Knicks??

 
At 3:44 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

it sure would.

 
At 4:10 PM, Blogger Michael said...

now looks like Bosh to Miami per Bucher

 
At 4:22 PM, Blogger Michael said...

Bucher takes it back...

 
At 4:26 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

Not true.

?

Ian O'Connor:

#Knicks having exploratory talks with Carlos Boozer, ESPNNewYork.com has learned. Dont know how he fits w/ Amare, but meeting possible

 
At 7:09 PM, Blogger Rich said...

Thursday night announcement on ESPN?

 
At 7:16 PM, Blogger Michael said...

the moment of truth has arrived...

 
At 7:16 PM, Blogger Rich said...

There could be six other plot twists between now and then.

 
At 7:22 PM, Blogger Rich said...

btw, An hour special is nauseatingly ridiculous.

 
At 8:31 PM, Blogger Rich said...

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense:

LeBron is going to leave Cleveland via a 1 hour special? I don't believe it.

 
At 8:36 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

The leaving part will leak before then, but people aren't going to fund a 1 hour show about Cleveland. And if they're talking to Boozer it's the old Yankee trick of staying in positional market to drive up costs for rivals, after you've already got your guys.

 
At 8:39 PM, Blogger Rich said...

With regard to Boozer: Isn't the difference that the market price is capped as a result of the CBA?

 
At 8:46 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

But who would offer him max?

 
At 9:00 PM, Blogger Rich said...

I don't think it has to be the max, but the parameters are more or less set.

It will be interesting to see if Wade makes a move before Thursday night.

 
At 9:04 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

So the Knicks offered price support, just like the Yanks often do.

Yeah, Wade and Bosh could blow the whole game, but I think it will leak anyway.

 
At 9:15 PM, Blogger Rich said...

TKB

 
At 9:20 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

Wade and Bosh will probably try too hard to give the public the wrong idea, or just blow it.

 
At 10:57 PM, Blogger Rich said...

I have discounting every negative piece of info from Broussard so I have to discount positive info as well:

Wade/Bosh to Miami to be announced later today

 
At 7:47 AM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

That seems like good news for us.

 
At 8:08 AM, Blogger Michael said...

Meeting Felton today? Don't think that changes anything

Ian O'Connor

#LeBron James in contact with Carmelo & Amare last night, according to an ESPNNewYork.com source. Carmelo pushing #Knicks hard.

 
At 9:00 AM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

I think the Felton meeting that was scheduled for today was cancelled.

 
At 11:57 AM, Blogger Rich said...

I would really like to find Michael Jackson's doctor and have him anesthetize me until Friday, and then find out what the decision is.

Anyway, Hahn says it will be broadcast from Greenwich.

Isola says the Knicks think the choice will be Cleveland but are still fight...whatever the f that means.

 
At 12:14 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

Knicks are playing coy and dumb. They are in lockdown and stealth mode. Why would they be acting that way if they had no secrets?

 
At 1:29 PM, Blogger Rich said...

Contrarian indicator?

 
At 1:32 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

He's a Knick.
