Well, since he will stay in "CLEV" and not come to the Nets, than I don't know.

Oh, ahaha. That would never happen. If Bosh ever became a Net, I would forever become a Nets fan, run naked in to the Izoid center, my body covered in a pinted Nets jersey screaming "TORONTO SUCKS".

I love how you guys make it sound like every one of those players will opt out and look for new teams. Do you know how many players just resign with their current teams and it's no big deal. When the Magic traded Steve Francis for a bunch of cap room a couple years ago, everyone thought we'd have a shot at landing a huge player like Melo, Bosh, Billups, Carter, or Lewis. All of those guys except Lewis resigned with their original teams. For all you guys know, all of those guys will stay with their teams and you'll have to pursue role players. I'm just saying, don't make it sound like you have all the options in the world and you'll just have to settle on a lesser young superstar. It may not be that easy.

The only way he stays in CLE is if they win a championship, and thats not going to happen in the next 2 years, other than maybe in NBA 2k8.
OR unless Memphis gets conned into trading away Gay for garbage like the Gasol scandal.

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't. LeBron is their best bet but if he stays in Cleveland, they'll be in trouble. Most superstar players resign with their original teams because they already have their homes, family, and support in the city that they've played in for the last five years.

Well you might as well start running now.
Maybe the Nets will trade Carter to the Raps in a S&T for Bosh, then we can sign LBJ too.

Maybe LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and Amare will all sign for the minimum because they want to win some titles. And then the Magic will trade Dwight for Vince Carter and fillers and then they'll trade some of their cheerleaders for Kobe since the Lakers want some new Laker girls so the Nets will have a super team of:
Dwyane Wade
Kobe Bryant
LeBron James
Amare Stoudemire
Dwight Howard
It could happen.

What are you talking about Bosh isn't a superstar. He's special correspondent for the Tonight Show!

Unlike previous superstars, these guys purposely signed contracts with opt out provisions to give them ultimate flexibility.
But wait, Orlando fans wanted Vince at some point?

I thought the purpose of those contracts was so they could opt out for more money with a new CBA.
And the teams that can give them the most money are the teams that they are playing for....
I love how you guys make it sound like every one of those players will opt out and look for new teams. Do you know how many players just resign with their current teams and it's no big deal. When the Magic traded Steve Francis for a bunch of cap room a couple years ago, everyone thought we'd have a shot at landing a huge player like Melo, Bosh, Billups, Carter, or Lewis. All of those guys except Lewis resigned with their original teams. For all you guys know, all of those guys will stay with their teams and you'll have to pursue role players. I'm just saying, don't make it sound like you have all the options in the world and you'll just have to settle on a lesser young superstar. It may not be that easy.

Unlike previous superstars, these guys purposely signed contracts with opt out provisions to give them ultimate flexibility.
But wait, Orlando fans wanted Vince at some point?

Exactly. And no, Orlando fans were 100% against getting Vince but Otis Smith considered making an offer for awhile. The two teams even tried to work out a trade last season but it fell apart (thank God).

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Maybe LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and Amare will all sign for the minimum because they want to win some titles. And then the Magic will trade Dwight for Vince Carter and fillers and then they'll trade some of their cheerleaders for Kobe since the Lakers want some new Laker girls so the Nets will have a super team of:
Dwyane Wade
Kobe Bryant
LeBron James
Amare Stoudemire
Dwight Howard
It could happen. rolleyes.gif</div>
Dont forget, Yao could opt out in a few years.

That was certainly a major part of the reasoning, but it was also about giving the players total control.
All one of these players has to say is that they want to play on another team as a FA and their original team will be willing to work out an S&T which gives the player the max money they can get.

you guys do realise all this pining for LeBron, who is two years away from free agency, makes Nets fans sound like 15 yr old girls with a crush on some actor/singer right?
p.s. do you all have his picture in your locker at school
