Ric Bucher, who has been pounding the not-the-Heat drum, had this to say on his Twitter feed:
FWIW: disparate opinions among gms, agents, league HQ officials today about where LeBron is going, but consensus on 1 thing: it’s not Mia.
Still hear Miami, but source says it changes every half hour.” If LeBron does return to Cleveland it would be for 3-year deal.
Several GMs & prominent agents are defiant, insisting #LeBron will stay in CLE. They can’t see the rationale of leaving $ and this process.
The general consensus amongst (most) of the media is that the Heat will be the pick, but there are a few prominent reporters that aren’t convinced, apparently based on the feeling of their front office sources.
It appears so, according to the groundswell of sources who are pointing that way. Chris Broussard outlines the decision:
All indications are that LeBron James is leaning toward signing with the Miami Heat on Thursday night, according to several sources with knowledge of the situation.
Chris Paul, one of James’ best friends, has urged him to stay in Cleveland and let new Cavaliers coach Byron Scott coach him, according to sources. With such strong sentiment around him to not go to Miami, it’s possible James could alter his decision.
James’ family and friends are divided over his decision to play in Miami, according to sources. Opinions range from understanding his desire to play with All-Star teammates, to feeling he is selling himself short by joining Wade’s team, to concerns that playing on such a power-packed squad will hurt his brand even if he wins championships.
While sources close to James insist his heart is in Cleveland and remaining with the Cavaliers was his preferred choice, they say he had concerns about signing a six-year deal there and ending up “31 years old, with bad knees and no title.”
Newsday has reported LeBron has decided on Heat. Only a couple of people can truly confirm this. None have to me at this point.
ESPN has followed Newsday with #LeBron to MIA report. Uptick in salary cap plus no state income tax helped with $:
I still have no direct confirmation from LeBron’s inner circle on Miami. Maybe they’re trying to save suspense in some way.
But the insanity is rising: the 1 source came at me hard that LBJ to Mia is done. Only way I go w/one source on that is if it’s LBJ/Mav.
Part of me thinks LeBron’s camp is just floating this Miami thing to gauge the reaction. And what I’ve seen has not been positive.
I’m going to write more about a possible “Miami Thrice” combination in South Florida a little bit later, but right now I’m going to go have breakfast with my wife and try not to think about LeBron Freaking James for at least an hour.
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh just announced in an interview with Michael Wilbon that they’ll be signing with the Miami Heat.
Here are a few random thoughts about the interview:
– Wilbon did a pretty good job of asking pointed questions (Wade-Chicago, Spoelstra-Riley, Bosh-Toronto, Bosh-Cleveland) but when Bosh sidestepped the Cleveland S&T question, he let it go.
– Wade spoke as if he didn’t have any inside info about where LeBron will play next season. He said he’ll be in front of the TV like the rest of us.
– Wade said that he’d take less money if it meant that the Heat could bring in better players. How much less is the real question.
– Wade said that he chose the Heat because Bosh wanted to play in Miami. That’s interesting, because Bosh seemed open to joining the Bulls as well. Basically, Wade put the onus of his decision NOT to play in Chicago on Bosh’s desire to play in Miami.
– Wade on Chicago: “Chicago, they had my heart. I tear up a little bit right now just thinking about the opportunity I had.” Of course, Wade has said before that his heart was in Miami, so it must own a couple of homes.
– Wade said that Erik Spoelstra is his coach, and is Bosh’s coach, but he accidentally called Pat Riley “Coach Riley.” Freudian slip, I say.
– When Wilbon asked Bosh to give LeBron one last pitch, he declined, saying that LeBron already had enough people in his ear.
