Ric Bucher : "It's not Mia" (LBJ update)

[beantownboy171]

alright, so i'm as sick of this as you guys are, but ii'm reporting it anyway.

From Ric Bucher's Twitter:

FWIW: disparate opinions among gms, agents, league HQ officials today about where LeBron is going, but consensus on 1 thing: it's not Mia.

Reason for skepticism: LBJ wd be 3rd-highest paid, it's Wade's town, brand unquestionably tarnished, still at least a yr away from title.

In other words: no decision would inspire more head-scratching than the Heat. And Riley goes to straight into hypnotists Hall of Fame.

My opinion? He'll end up back in cleveland. If i were to rank the chances. I'd go 1.Cleveland 2.Chicago 3.New York 4.Miami and the nets in a distant fifth.

We'll find out in 3 hours anyways. LeBron's people are straight up lieing to ppl so no one honestly knows what is happening and will have to tune in to find out. It's all a bunch of trash, but lol I will tune in - not gonna lie.

[Drucci]

Of course it's not Miami, there is no way LeBron's ego would accept being the second banana behind Wade in Miami. And it's obvious the LeBron Camp is spreading a false rumor the days before "the decision" to "surprise" everybody during the live TV even. What's the point of making a special TV show to announce "the decision" if you leak it's Miami days before? Makes no sense.

I think LeBron will sign with NY or Chicago, but he would be dumb to go back to Cleveland. If if had to pick only one team though, I would pick NY.

Lebron the puppet master. Toying with people left & right

I think LeBron will sign with NY or Chicago, but he would be dumb to go back to Cleveland.

In terms of winning a championship he would be dumb but in loyalty it wouldn't.  Like KG said though loyalty is great and all, but you don't always have your youth.

I think Lebron's team is very very smart. And they know, that the best publicity for Lebron would be for him to return to cleveland and save that city.

At this point, there really is no right decision for Lebron because of the way he's handled it. He's lied, set false trails, created this big spectacle all for his ego and for his image. So there is no sincere move for him. If he returns to cleveland its only to make himself look good, if he goes to chicago its only to trump jordan's legacy, and if he goes to new york its only to put his name on a big stage. But he'll be making 100 million dollars, so im sure he doesn't care.

I predict Boston.  

Ok, fine, Chicago.

I watched as Ric Bucher opened the sixth seal.

There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.

The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

Then the GMs of the earth, the owners, the fans, the capologists, and every blogger and every established media representative hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of LeBron! 

For the great day of wrath has come, and who can stand?"

for the sake of these beat reporters, Im SOOOO glad this ends tonight.

These guys have looked like complete morons every day for the past week and a half.  It's definitely Miami.  No wait, hes leaning towards New York.   It's always been Cleveland.  It changes everyday. Lebrons people are screwing with these complete TOOLS bc they love the constant attention and headlines. I'd just love one of these guys to post on their twitter page 'You Know What, I have no **** Clue'

ESPN writers, reporters, sports radio show hosts have been talking all day about how Lebron is going to fit in with the Heat, and now people are reporting that Miamis out of the question.  


.....sorry didnt know you couldnt type that

[Bankshot]

LOL

That's why I'm not watching that mess tonight!

[Mike-Dub]

Nobody has any idea.

[BringToughnessBack]

Hey, I heard Lebron is going to donate 5 percent of his salary to the IRS for the right to change Thursday to Lebronsday

From now, on this day will be Lebronsday!

This Lebron stuff is making me nautious! Win something first before you hold the whole media hostage.

Thank you Amare, Joe, Ray Ray, Dirk, Bosh, Gooden and Wade for all signing before the "King" has made his choice. The only way this could get more disgusting is if he ends up in our division.

[greg683x]

I'm not trying to create bad karma or anything like that and I wouldnt wish injury on anybody....except for maybe Kobe, but after all this hoopla, all this attention, 1 hour specials, two years of clearing cap space, and all these expectations, could you imagine if Lebron goes to one of these teams, and then next year has a Shaun Livingston type injury and is out for almost 2 years and is never the same, something like Grant Hill in Orlando..........That always pops up in the back of my head sometimes when all this Lebron drama happens.

[LarBrd33]

he was never planning on going anywhere... just a marketing ploy

LOL that was good. Especially since LeBron's entire marketing campaign has been centered around heresy.
