SenorGato Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Then Devin Harris, Terrence Williams, and 2 first round picks to NO for Chris Paul. Ftmfw.

THE ILK Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 http://www.theknicksblog.com/ By Chris Alvino on Jul 07, 2010, 3:46 pm ESPN Radio’s Jon Rothstein received a text from a member of Chicago’s front office that said the Bulls believe LeBron will be a Knick, and that the Bulls will focus on signing forward Carlos Boozer (which is a great move for them). Take that for what it is worth… Sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN says Gray and James will be in one location. A person familiar with the plans, however, tells The Associated Press the interview will take place at the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich, Conn. The broadcast also will include a long-form interview with ESPN personality Mike Wilbon and others via satellite from ESPN’s studios in Bristol, Conn. @mikeplugh: So #LeBron announces in 1st 10 minutes of his show...not NYC=19+ million tuning out.

shawn306 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Not so fast http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5363055 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. Barring a late change of heart, sources say James has decided to join fellow All-Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to form a potential NBA powerhouse 'The Decision' Is Coming Where will LeBron James' basketball future take him? The NBA's two-time defending MVP will reveal his destination on "The Decision" on ESPN (Thursday, 9 p.m. ET). Stuart Scott, Jon Barry and Michael Wilbon will host the hourlong special. James will make his announcement from the Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich, Conn., during an hourlong special called "The Decision" on ESPN at 9 p.m. ET Thursday. Sales of sponsorship for the program will go to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. 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. James worked hard to help the Cavaliers improve their roster, sources said. He tried to sell Bosh on the idea of going to Cleveland, but the 6-foot-11 forward was adamant he did not want to play in northeast Ohio. 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." ESPN.com reported June 28 that James, Wade and Bosh held a scaled-down version of the free-agent summit originally suggest Windhorst: LeBron's last stand? If LeBron James is concerned about his choice, he is hiding it well. The free agent appeared worry free the day before his made-for-TV special.
