Boy, James seems to be headed back to Cleveland, which would mean Bosh to Houston in a max deal.  And Wade is well and truly screwed - he opted out of a max deal to try and work with LBJ to get some help, and now he's not getting anywhere close to that and if he wants any chance to compete for another ring, he has to bolt himself.

Of course this could be a giant smokescreen and James could be going back to Miami.

I'm hoping that happens as I'd love for Wade to get screwed big time $$-wise after how he deceived the Bulls while he was Pat Riley's spy during free-agency 4 years ago.

Lebron back to Cleveland. I must admit that he looks a lot less **** now.

One would think that the Bulls would now be an even more attractive destination for Carmelo.

Unless you feel Carmelo would rather not be in the same division staring up at LeBron's team.

I'm quite confident that Anthony will puss out and take the money, just like Bosh.

I find it pretty hilarious that Frank Isola, the boob who "100%" said Melo was re-signing Thursday, now says he spoke to Melo Wednesday and he made no commitment, just that this was incredibly tough, blah blah...

It's also funny to see this painted as some kind of agonizing choice.  It's very simple - if we wants the best chance to win, he goes to Chicago.  If he wants the most money, he stays in NY.  Anthony can't hide here - if he decides to stay there will be no disguising what drives him.  Right now I think it's 50-50%.

50-50?  Are you hopped up on the dope?  5-95.

If Anthony was that sold on signing in NY, I don't think he would have held out this long - what's the point?  I think he's waiting to see if the Bulls will gut the roster to make the money closer, or somehow talk Phil into a S/T.

Twitter exploding with Anthony to Bulls rumors, with the hangup being Phil's refusal to S/T.

Wasn't Anythony waiting to see if he could shoehorn his way into James' future team?

Some believe so, but that's just one theory.  In any case that ship has certainly sailed now.
