LeBron and Bosh to join Wade in Miami

Steven A. Smith reports several sources claiming LeBron and Bosh are set to join Wade in Miami. If that happens do the Portland Trailblazers have enough firepower to compete with Miami?

don't buy into any of the speculation and hype - NO ONE knows yet

this blurb says he’s going to Miami – then immediately turns around and says that it’s not sure and no one is 100% on what will happen

you have to remember, the biggest and ONLY NBA news at the moment is free agency- and ANY headline that claims it knows where a player is going gets major traffic – so everyone is speculating

Don’t listen to any of it until Lebron announces it himself

They don't have to somebody to compete.

They just need to be able to play 40+ games and he won’t be there problem.

I hope it happens

And they implode.

If what I just commented turns out to be wrong, please delete from all memory.

Alternatively:

A source who’s provided accurate information to me in the past has told me that LeBron James will agree to terms with the Bulls by July 3rd after meeting with other teams.

I can't really see the 3 of them getting along over an 82 game season year after year...

and I don’t think LeEgo’s ego is such that he feels he needs Wade’s help getting rings… people will always say, ‘Yeah, but he couldn’t get them without Wade." I don’t think that would sit well with he that is himself.

Being insistent when you're wrong is just really, really annoying.

I'd think the last few years have taught LeBron that he can't do it himself.

If he hasn’t realized that yet, he never will.

I would love to see this happen

and then watch all three of them point fingers at each other when they lose in the 2nd round. There arent enough minutes in a game for James, Wade and Bosh to each get their 15 shots per game in, if this were a custom made team on xbox or playstation and you were to simulate every game, you’d probably go 80-2 if not 82-0, and on paper this team would be unbeatable, but in live action, this team ends up beating themselves and losing. Go ahead and team up together

it worked for the Celtics

and same was said about them

by JasonT on Jun 28, 2010 3:31 PM PDT up reply actions

very, very, very big difference...

the Celtics had 3 guys nearing the end of their careers who had all experienced incredible amounts of losing. It was all or nothing time for them. These 3 guys are just hitting their primes with mixed results so far.

Also, of the Celts’ 3, KG was the clear alpha dog. Who’s the alpha: James or Wade? Wade’s a Finals MVP and owner of a ring, and Miami has been his team for ‘x’ years. He’s not just gonna play 2nd fiddle to James suddenly.

Being insistent when you're wrong is just really, really annoying.

"His team" would barely exist anymore, since they would be dropping nearly everyone

But good point anyway.

And 2 days ago

It was a ‘done deal’ that James and Bosh would both be signing in Chicago.

Tomorrow I fully expect a report that the pair will be going to the Knicks……

And, honestly, there’s a part of me that’s glad that I’m not a fan of one of these teams – can you imagine the heightened sense of expectation and growing sense of disappointment that they must be going through every time one of these ‘incontrovertible’ sources releases the ‘real’ plan?

There are reports that Lebron is going everywhere

and I don’t like Stephen A. Smith or take anything he says seriously

Get well Greg! Rip City is still behind you!

Screaming A. Smith is not a reliable source of information.

"I think he’s been doing some good things. I think he’s been doing some good things. He’s had to play a lot of minutes lately with Blake being out. I think he’s been doing some good things." -Nate McMillan

Let's be fair now

I think he does as fine a job as you would expect from a hand puppet…..

Portlands Firepower against the new miami!!

were we kidding when we see the question if Portland will have enough firepower to deal with them if they all go to miami!!!! we couldn’t handle Labron by himself let along with wade and Bosh!!!! lets hope it dooesnt happen from a Blazers point but if it does it wil be fun to watch!!!!! I agree when they lose they will blame each other…of course there is the riley factor if anyone could bring them together he could……
