Agreed. The only thing that might rub people the wrong way is that he's being a bit of an attention whore about it with his Twitter and all that. I respect LeBron for how he's handled this whole process. Much better than both Wade and Bosh.

Yeah, its gonna come down to how well he took that. Pretty big risk for Chicago.

That ploy was brilliant though. LeBron has a HUGE ego and challenging it like that, although possibly a huge mistake could end up being brilliant in terms of getting him because he'll want to take that challenge. The Bulls have really swung for the fences in the past 2 days, let's see how it turn out.

He's gonna stay. He sees all the attention his buddies are getting and he's probably getting a little jealous so he wants to be in the spotlight himself for a bit.

Whoever thought of this should get a promotion. http://i47.tinypic.com/apcrdd.jpg

I'm gonna be honest here and say that I might be starting to question our strategy. Granted, Riles knows a lot more than any of us do at this point or anyone at ESPN or Yahoo. That being said though, with all this Wade and Chicago talk, I'm a little surprised that Riley is so calm about everything.

Miami gets a horrible rep as a sports town because of attendance but anyone who plays in this city really does get treated like a king. UD is a hometown guy and Wade honestly runs this entire city,

Who knows anymore man? I wouldn't be surprised if this were true or if it turned out to be pure BS.

Did anyone see the powerpoint they showed him? I thought it was a little weak: Link

As cool as it sounds, the rest of the players on that team would most likely suck so I'm really not sure about it.

The guy who broke the story to begin with, Ira Winderman, is reporting that the Bulls asked for the meeting with Wade.

Financially it does for Wade.

When he goes a game without throwing a pick.

laughing to myself

Ira Winderman saying Bulls requested the meeting as well.

Michael Wallace, the Herald's beat writer for the Heat is reporting that the meeting was at the Bulls request and Wade obliged out of courtesy. He also says Riley is confident about Wade regardless.

Sedano says in his live chat on the Herald that he gives us an 80% chance with Bosh.

Now we're reportedly flying back to Chicago and meeting with David Lee. Not sure if I like this.

Not sure if this was posted yet, but how about a politics section?

No one thinks the big 3 has above a 20% chance of happening. I'd say Wade and Bosh is a bit more realistic though wouldn't you?

Super awesome thread hijack from the hip hop encyclopedia

FWIW, Miami is still in the meeting with LeBron. This is the longest meeting that LBJ has had so far with any team.

I'm sure it went well. Riley can be very persuasive but I'm just not sure that LeBron is completely down to be a part of a big 3.

Except there's been numerous reports of Bosh buying a place in Miami recently. Its cool though, feel free to add something to the discussion next time.
