  by Greg CouchFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Heat, Knicks, Eastern, NBA Free AgentsCHICAGO -- And the big loser in the LeBron James lottery is ... Chicago. Oh sure, I know Cleveland had him and lost him. Nothing is worse than that. This could be the night sports died in Cleveland. James plays for Miami now. But I wonder if people know what this night meant to Chicago. As a Chicagoan, let me put it this way: This is 100 percent embarrassing. It is a blot on the grand Chicago tradition that has built this city, of palm-greasing, strong-arming and backdoor deals. I mean, first the ...

  Vegas: Heat the Favorite for NBA Title chris bosh, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, LeBron James Free Agency | Comments Off

  by Jon WeinbachFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Heat, Knicks, Sports Business and Media, NBA Free AgentsThe Miami Heat don't have a complete roster -- but with the addition of LeBron James, the club is already the favorite to win next year's NBA title, according to Las Vegas oddsmakers. After James announced his decision to leave Cleveland last night on ESPN, oddsmakers at Las Vegas Sports Consultants made Miami the prohibitive favorite to win the NBA title, moving the club's odds to 4-5 -- a massive shift from just a few weeks ago, when Miami was a 25-to-1 long-shot to be the 2010-11 ...

  David Lee Headed for Golden State in Sign-and-Trade 2010 nba free agents, Anthony Randolph, David Lee, Kelenna Azubuike, LeBron James, LeBron James Free Agency, LeBron James Rumors, Ronny Turiaf | Comments Off

  by Sam AmickFiled under: Knicks, Suns, Warriors, NBA Free AgentsThe Golden State Warriors will be rewarded for LeBron James' South Beach state of mind. According to a source close to the Warriors, a sign-and-trade sending David Lee from New York to Golden State in exchange for Anthony Randolph, Kelenna Azubuike, Ronny Turiaf and a second-round pick was very likely to go through before James announced his decision to head for Miami on national television Thursday night. So long as James didn't choose the Knicks. Since that was the case, Lee's agent, Mark Bartelstein, confirmed to FanHouse minutes afterward that the forward who averaged ...

  LeBron James Joins Twitter in Advance of Free Agency Announcement 2010 nba free agents, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, LeBron James Free Agency, LeBron James Rumors, LeBron James Twitter, shaquille oneal | Comments Off

  by Will BrinsonFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Heat, Knicks, Nets, NBA Rumors, NBA Twitter, Sports Business and Media, NBA Free Agents LeBron James, despite arguably being the best basketball player in the world, doesn't have a tremendous online presence, at least in relation to other NBA players. The current free agent appears to be attempting a change on that front, having recently created LeBronJames.com, his official website that is "Getting Closer" to being functional. He took another major step Tuesday as well, joining Twitter under the handle "@kingjames." Lest you think this is some sort of fake Twitter account -- because there are plenty, ...

  by Bethlehem ShoalsFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Heat, Knicks, NBA Rumors, NBA Free AgentsAlan Hahn of Newsday may have broken the sports story of the century -- one so big that the "scoop" was spun off into its own television special. ESPN or no ESPN, intrepid reporters like Hahn remained eager to beat LeBron James to the punch. A little while after the stroke of midnight, Hahn tweeted: "Multiple sources are telling Newsday that LeBron James has decided to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. The new Big Three is here." What role did the increased salary cap play in ...

  by Tom ZillerFiled under: Bulls, Heat, Knicks, Nets, NBA Transactions, NBA Free Agents Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade confirmed they will both sign with the Miami Heat in a live interview with Michael Wilbon televised on ESPN Wednesday. In the interview, with Wade and Bosh appearing simultaneously via satellite, the All-Stars explained their decisions. Wade said that he feels comfortable moving forward with Bosh in tow, but that he'd still welcome fellow megastar LeBron James, should the two-time reigning MVP choose Miami. James is slated to announce his decision in a one-hour special Thursday night on ESPN. Wade discussed his decision to pick ...

  by Tom ZillerFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Clippers, Heat, Knicks, Nets, NBA Rumors, NBA Free AgentsWhen LeBron James announces on Thursday which NBA team he has chosen to sign with, he will be sitting in the tony New York City suburb of Greenwich, Conn., ESPN has confirmed.

  by Will BrinsonFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Heat, Knicks, Nets, Raptors, NBA Media Watch, NBA Rumors, NBA Free AgentsJust as the constant breath-holding that has been 2010 free agency seemed to be headed for another weekend of non-action from the "Big 3," LeBron James' PR crew made some moves that seem to indicate the end is near. First was LeBron joining Twitter, and then an actual tweet -- LeBron proclaiming it was really him -- and perhaps most importantly, the leaked news that James and ESPN are in negotiations for a one-hour special at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday in which LeBron ...

  by Pat McManamonFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Clippers, Knicks, Nets, NBA Rumors, NBA Free AgentsCLEVELAND -- Now it's a waiting game. For how long, nobody is sure except the main person involved, and he's not speaking to the public. Yet. The Cleveland Cavaliers gave their pitch to LeBron James to stay in town Saturday morning, and when they left GM Chris Grant said the discussion was "positive." The Chicago Bulls arrived in the afternoon to fill the coveted last spot (based on the premise that the last thing a person hears stays with him or her longest). They left silently, just like James, who ...

  Report: Knicks Positive About Meeting With LeBron 2010 nba free agents, LeBron James Free Agency | Comments Off

  by Anthony OlivieriFiled under: Bulls, Heat, Knicks, Nets, NBA Rumors, NBA Free Agents Say what you will about the New York Knicks and their chances of landing LeBron James. Don't accuse them of losing their collective sense of humor. Maybe, it's to laugh to keep from crying. "You know who's good? LeBron James," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni told the New York Post after meeting with the superstar forward on Thursday. "I can say that now without getting fined for tampering." According to the Post, the Knicks were happy with their afternoon meeting with James, who started fielding offers from his breathless suitors Thursday -- ...

  Report: No Free Agency Tour for LeBron 2010 nba free agents, chris bosh, Dan Gilbert, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, LeBron James Free Agency, LeBron James Rumors, Mikhail Prokhorov | Comments Off

  by Anthony OlivieriFiled under: Cavaliers, Clippers, Heat, Knicks, Nets, NBA Free Agents LeBron James will not go on a free agency tour, according to ESPN.com, which cited Maverick Carter, the longtime manager for the Cleveland Cavaliers' superstar. "LeBron is not going on a tour," Carter told the web site, referring to when the free-agency period begins on July 1. "He never planned to go on a tour and has not been a part of any team's plans for a recruiting trip." Carter's statement is contrary to popular belief, which had the superstar forward poised for a whirlwind trip to different NBA cities, where ...

  Report: LeBron to Chicago ‘a Done Deal’ 2010 nba free agents, Amare Stoudemire, chris bosh, Dwyane Wade, Joe Johnson, LeBron James, LeBron James Free Agency, LeBron James Rumors | Comments Off

  by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Hawks, Heat, Knicks, Raptors, Suns, NBA Rumors, NBA Free AgentsLeBron James has decided against going on a free agency tour of the five cities that have made his short list of places (along with Cleveland) where he'd like to play next season, and will instead hold those meetings at home. The reason for this change of plans could be due to the backlash from fans and media alike over the idea, or it could be that James simply would like to hold court in his own castle, and be treated like the NBA royalty ...

  King James Holds Court Like a True Royal 2010 nba free agents, LeBron James, LeBron James Free Agency, LeBron James Rumors, NBA Free Agency | Comments Off

  by Tom ZillerFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Clippers, Heat, Knicks, Nets, NBA Rumors, NBA Transactions, NBA Free AgentsThe plans have apparently changed, with LeBron James opting to hold court with NBA suitors in Ohio instead of jetting around the country on a grand free agency tour. And really, this should have been LeBron's plan all along. Seriously, what royal ever did his business on the road? Travel is for grunts, the legions who expand the kingdom or the tax collectors who see that the treasury remains full. Real kings don't grovel for attention in foreign lands. They let the world come to ...

  Who Fits With a LeBron-Wade-Bosh Mega-Team? 2010 nba free agents, chris bosh, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, LeBron James Free Agency, LeBron James Rumors | Comments Off

  by Matt MooreFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Knicks, Nets, NBA Free Agents Kind of an irrelevant question isn't it? "Who else do three of the top 10 best players who would then play on the same team need?" It's like asking what kind of gun Superman needs. He doesn't. He's freaking Superman. But there's still this question. If you get the three biggest names in the biggest free agency summer in league history, if you form this Voltron-esque conglomeration of superstar talent, if you're ready to take the world by storm ... who else do you get to fill out your roster? ...

  Vegas Likes Bulls in LeBron Sweepstakes 2010 nba free agents, LeBron James, LeBron James Free Agency, LeBron James Rumors | Comments Off

  by Tom ZillerFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Heat, Knicks, Nets, NBA Gambling, NBA Rumors, NBA Free AgentsBack in May, once the Cavaliers were eliminated from the playoffs, bettors in Las Vegas picked Cleveland as the overwhelming favorite in the race for LeBron James' services. According to consensus odds compiled by R.J. Bell of Pregame.com, the Cavs had even odds -- a 50 percent probability -- of keeping LeBron, despite the poor showing against the Celtics in the conference semifinals. The Bulls were next at 7-to-2 odds, with the Knicks and Nets following at 6-to-1 and 20-to-1 odds, respectively. My, how the tables ...

  by Will BrinsonFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Heat, Knicks, NBA Rumors, NBA Free Agents The mythical 'NBA Free Agent Summit' -- in which LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh meet to plot world domination discuss their free agency decisions -- went down this past weekend according to an ESPN report late last night. Today, however, reports denying such a meeting cropped up all over the place -- 790 the Ticket in Miami's Jorge Sedano, for instance, made the case that it was impossible for such a meeting to have taken place because of the various itineraries of the superstars. Sedano's report makes complete ...

  Report: Knicks Prefer Joe Johnson Over … LeBron James? 2010 nba free agents, al horford, chris bosh, Dwyane Wade, Jamal Crawford, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, LeBron James, LeBron James Free Agency, LeBron James Rumors, Marvin Williams | Comments Off

  by Will BrinsonFiled under: Cavaliers, Hawks, Knicks, NBA Rumors, NBA Free AgentsWhen you talk about the "Summer of Free Agency," there is one No. 1 target: LeBron James. People willing to engage in some sort of discussion as to whether any other player out there -- all due respect accorded to both Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh -- are either foolish, high on drugs or acting foolishly while high on drugs. That's just one man's take though -- others, such as an "NBA source with knowledge of the [Knicks'] plans" that SNY's Adam Zagoria cites, may believe that someone like Joe ...

  by Chris TomassonFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Celtics, Clippers, Heat, Knicks, Magic, Mavericks, Nets, Nuggets, NBA Fans, NBA Rumors, NBA Free Agents In Cleveland, it's a hairy situation. Literally. As things were beginning to get a bit desperate in the quest to hold on to local treasure LeBron James, one Cleveland radio station at the start of June began "Beards for Bron.'' Yes, WKNR-AM is having its staff members (male, that is) grow beards and asking listeners to do likewise as sign of support in the hope beard-clad James will re-sign with the Cavaliers. "Our promotions department came up with it for the city to ...
