Report: Boozer set to ink deal with Bulls Carlos Boozer - F - UTA - Jul. 7 ESPN's Ric Bucher reports that Carlos Boozer has agreed to a deal with the Bulls.According to Bucher, Boozer will sign for five years and $80 million. It remains to be seen whether this will be the big move that lures LeBron James to Chicago. Either way, the Bulls just upgraded their frontcourt dramatically.

one more thing to add to this lol. think about how much the East just improved. You now have have Wade n Bosh in Miami, Boozer with the Bulls, still Boston and Orlando and Atlanta. you could go as far as saying the East is starting to get stacked.
Lebron going to face that competition with the starting 5 he already failed with or with possibly Melo and Amare? or is he going to join Miami (personally I dont think so cause he wont be the top dog)

Perhaps.
But how about these 2 rumors from allegedly "credible" sources? This is posted today, Wednesday, from one of the links I gave:
Two rumors are quickly circulating. One is that LeBron is house shopping in Miami. It is being reported that an offer has been put down on a 40 million dollar home in Coral Gables. The second rumor, is that he will be flying to a meeting with Riley, Wade, and Bosh tonight.
This "second rumor," if substantiated, would be a "tell all," don't you think?:think2:
Like I said before, I really believe this is now a 2 team race for LeBron. Miami Heat and the NY Knicks. The suspense is KILLING me! :lolBIG:

taking place at the Boys and Girls Club in Greenwich at 9pm tomorrow night. ESPN is aware that word has leaked about the locale and will have ample security
so Lebron is leaving his basketball camp in Cleveland...flying to CT to hold a one hour event live on ESPN just to announce he is staying in Cleveland? what sense does that make? the writing is all over the wall now.....

you pretty much know cleveland is done. There are no big names free agents left that would make lebron want to stay there. The team may win in the regular season, but if you cant get anywhere in the post season does it really matter. Nobody is left to make lebron think cleveland can get over the hurdle they have been hitting. bosh, wade, boozer, amare are all gone. I dont think david lee is going to make lebron run back to cleveland. So unless a big trade is being hidden for say a chris paul or something, lebron is packing up because nobody wanted to come to cleveland
I believe they are out of the running, but with the Bulls signing Boozer (outside of creating the freak trio + scrubs in Miami), it seems to me that the Bulls are the best option from a winning basketball standpoint. Rose, James, Deng, Boozer, Noah. Come on now. Where could he create a better starting 5?
Is it possible that Lebron made the announcement but still hasn't actually decided where yet? Could the Bulls have locked up Boozer for enticement?
I think him joining Miami would just be too weird.
I think he's deciding between Cleve, NY and Chicago.

everybody knows the bulls are his best shot at winning. seems to me winning is not his top priority. he must assume he can make alot more money in the new york market over chicago. knicks+LBJ=4-5 seed in the east. bulls+LBJ=2nd chocie to win the title.
btw i almost threw up durnat 5 years 86mil and we pay boozer 5years 80.
The more I think about it, the more I think that where the announcement is going to be made doesn't necessarily mean it's the Knicks, but may have more to do with the fact that LeBron IS NOT CHOOSING CLEVELAND and they want to get him the hell out of that area for safety reasons when his decision is given. It could still be a team other than the Knicks and maybe Miami, although I don't think LeBron's ego will allow his to share the spotlight with Wade...
