July 2, 201016 yr CDR is a Buck...And no, the Knicks would have to get them to each agree to slightly less than max deals. I will say this, if the Knicks can somehow pull the miracle and sign both Amare and Johnson, then somehow put the Hornets under the gun and work out a miracle trade for CP3 (maybe a sign and trade with D Lee or Harrington) then that would be a pretty big turnaround for them. Hornets not wanting to part with Paul now they are out of the luxury tax threshold, but I'm hearing if Paul puts enough pressure on them to move him they may ship him and Okafor both out. If the Knicks could send Lee in a s/t along with Curry and his 1yr 10 mil contract, along with whatever else they can, Gallinari, draft picks, anything then they would really be cooking with grease. Chris Paul Joe Johnson Landry Fields Al Harrington (if they can somehow hang onto him after all that) Amare Looks nice to me, even without Harrington because I doubt they could get it all to work and still have him. Of course we all know this will never happen but it is still fun to envision such things. Heck ESPN even hired someone to do that for the draft now Sportscenter.
July 2, 201016 yr Wade met with Chicago a 2nd time today. There are no words, this rollercoaster has been going on for so long, I can only hope it's over with by this weekend. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-wadelebronbulls072010
July 2, 201016 yr Yeah they said DWade might sign with the Bulls. I don't buy it and think he's only trying to stall how they go about going after Bosh. But, what if James, Wade and Bosh ended up in Chicago together? The Raptors have been said to have interest in Noah, they'd also have to get Deng I'd imagine and who knows who else. James and Wade could take the max. Would take a little more moving people around and it's likely not going to happen, I just wondered if anyone would speculate that because I think salary-wise they could get it to work.
July 2, 201016 yr Deng would be gone if they were going trade another piece. Chicago, like so many teams, have been clearing cap for ages it seems like, all for this summer. I just want it to work out and be over with SOON.
July 3, 201016 yr Chicago Tribune is now reporting that Wade, Bosh and the Bulls have met or are meeting with Henry Thomas (Bosh's agent) right now.

And my oh my what would that do to the Heat? Its not like they had much to start with so they kind of needed a purge, but its going to be hard to build an entire team around Mario Chalmers and Michael Beasley who apparently contracted green paper syndrome once he got into the league.
July 3, 201016 yr So the latest is that the Bulls pressed Wade today for an answer either way, he didn't give them one. After getting this close, if Wade and Lebron end up in Miami or the Bulls essentially lose out on everyone, I probably will have to stay away from the internet for a few days I will be so angry. :lol:

Nice.
July 3, 201016 yr Nice. Made that up off the top of my head, was hoping someone would take notice and like. It's the truth though, he got paid, and he pretty much became the laziest waste of talent in the league.

I just want it to work out and be over with SOON. I don't know Deng isn't extremely easy to move. He's owed 11 million per for 3 seasons I think, which is way, way, way too much for him IMO.
July 3, 201016 yr Anyone else think that Wade's interest in the Bulls could be a ploy to allow the Heat more time to work out a sign and trade for Bosh? I mean this is the same guy who trashed the Bulls earlier in the season and said he really wanted to stay in Miami. Pat Riley and DWade deserve each other and no one else, I hope they get stuck with T-Mac.

Pat Riley and DWade deserve each other and no one else, I hope they get stuck with T-Mac. I don't know, I think I'm really starting to think he has love for the Bulls. He's a hometown guy, grew up idolizing Jordan's Bulls, and always felt they weren't giving him any love. I think it comes down to whether or not Lebron wants to be a Bull and who he wants with him, Wade or Bosh. If James stays pat in Cleveland or goes somewhere else, I think you could maybe see Wade and Bosh in Chicago. You may see that even if James wants to come.
July 4, 201016 yr Kind of long, but this is supposedly one of the things the Cavs played for LeBron at their meeting today- http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/morethanaplayer_splash_100630.html
