Regardless of whether that's an indicator, I hope he does.  Actually at this point, I'd be with him going anywhere but Miami.  As long as that doesn't happen, no super power emerges and the C's can have a chance next year and beyond.  

Chris Bosh is so overrated is insane.

The guys puts up career numbers in a contract season in which his team failed to make the playoffs. THE PLAYOFFS IN THE EAST! He doesn't care much for defense and the only thing he works on is his shot. He's a poor passer with a craving for the spotlight.

He has a golden opportunity to join Amare in New York and play an uptempo offense. Who in the league would be able to stop Bron and Amare constantly running on the break under a Mike D'Antoni system?

I agree he stays in Cleveland...its been mostly about the coaching with Lebron.Byron Scott has the hardware as a player. He probably consulted with C.Paul about Byron Scott as a coach,and got his approval.During the series(playoffs)aganist the Celtics,it was evident that Lebron wasn't happy with Mike Brown.If you noticed the Cavs fired Mike Brown without any hesitation.Behind the scenes i think Lebron made it clear that he wanted Scott or someone with rings.I don't think Tibbs was on his radar,simply because he's learning to be a coach and that might take time.As far as the same roster,they will probably tweak it as they go,just like we will and most teams without any cap flexibility. (imo)Lebron next order of business is to replace Mo Williams.Thats why LBJ was talking to Ray.Maybe Mo heard something thru the NBA grapevine that he's next and thats why he came out sounding pathetic begging for them not to trade him.

He stays in Cleveland, I bet he always thought he was going to stay there unless blown away by another situation. He drew things out this long for two reasons. 1. He wanted to see if a 3 max player situation developed. 2. He loves all the attention he's getting.
Sorry but I don't see any indications that he is enjoying this. He seems to find it a bit annoying. Bosh has been the guy who seems to be enjoying it.

You talk coaches, but if he goes to Miami, Pat Riley could be stepping in for all we know. Who do you take between Riley and Scott?

Just saying.

He is broadcasting from Akron... No way he announces he is going to NY, NJ or Miami from Akron.

Done deal.

He's from Akron...  it makes the most sense.

Nice bit of speculation on your part, but I believe you are probably incorrect.

Definitely correct on Mike Brown, not a very good coach and he clearly lost his players towards the end.

However, I disagree about Tibbs.  This is his first head coahcing job, but he's been an assistant for 20 years and is the mastermind behind the c's defense.  LeBron in Chicago would have been an elite team.

By the way, ESPN Radio is saying that the broadcast won't be from Akron, for whatever that's worth.

I reckon its furious negotiation that's got this cart running without the horses. 

At the end of the day, Bron will be dozin with Knicks; albeit with a paycut (compared to Clev's $) which is probably why he's been hyping every team but NYK in an effort to improve his bargaining position.
