In response to "There are going to be a couple of teams who are ruined for five years because of what they gave up on the off chance they get LeBron or Wade. -- nm" by David

this actually cracks me up.

all these guys putting their eggs in one basket.

There are what, 4 top level free agents out there, and if you assume one team is getting 2 of them, that leaves a whole lot of teams fighting over 2 bodies.

I'd say it's 90% certain LBJ & Dwayne return to their respective teams - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:52 26
- Could you imagine how much it would suck to be the one guy who has to mop all the jizz off Cleveland's streets the day after Lebron decides to stay? -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 13:53 1
  - Shaq? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:55
- I think Dirk is more likely to stay than LeBron is. That's my read on it anyway. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:53 23
  - I tend to agree. - groiny Jun 24, 13:55 6
    - i don't see any real reason to think that. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:56 5
      - I do not think they are better than the Bulls, if you take LeBron off both. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 13:57 4
        
        If his only criteria is to go to the best team, he's out of Cleveland, no question. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 13:58 3
        
        Well, the Lakers aren't signing him. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:58 2
        
        the best team that can. aka Chicago or Miami. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 14:00 1
        
        And I think Chicago's the better option there by a good bit. I don't know if LeBron leaves, but I think the Bulls come away with at least 1 of those - pmb Jun 24, 14:06
  - I didn't put him on that list with the expectation he's leaving...he's 90%+ imo but he's also 33 and near the end of his career - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:54 15
    - but can they win it all? - groiny Jun 24, 13:56 14
      - The best record in the league tells me simply that they have the better shot than any of the others. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:58 2
        
        You cannot win a title by yourself. - groiny Jun 24, 13:59 1
        
        You can't win a title by yourself, but lebron james should be the center of the world...not the missing piece. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:02
      - They won a shitload of games and will continue to do so. They would eventually win a title with Bron. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 13:57 10
        
        LeBron needs more help. - groiny Jun 24, 13:58 2
        
        They tried their best to get him a solid amount of help. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:01 1
        
        what strong foundation? - groiny Jun 24, 14:03
        
        I wonder if they'd have a couple of titles now if not for Boozer's treachery. - David Jun 24, 13:58 6
        
        Wow. Forgot about that. That's a good point. - musubi Jun 24, 13:59
        
        I'll say it now: Lebron's elbow stays 100% cool this postseason, they have a title. - TFox Jun 24, 13:59 4
        
        If they had another all-star caliber player to offset LBJ, they might have as well. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 14:00 3
        
        Antwan Jamison was an all-star....last year. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:03 2
        
        *shrugs* - groiny Jun 24, 14:05 1
        
        No one's ever excited about Jamison, but end of the season, he's usually about 20ppg, 9.5 rpg. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:06
and really, Wade's staying in Miami and someone is joining him. And the others will both go to another team. - TFox Jun 24, 13:51 1
- Someone is going to give Joe Johnson a max contract then remember how quickly Iverson fell off the radar. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:52
