MFer 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2009 I brought up this topic before, but a recent SI article (as well as other stories from a month or two ago) speculates that LeBron may be as big as 6'9", 274. I'm not sure if I'm buying 274, but if he's that big, that's insane. He'd basically be a DE with WR speed that happens to have PG/SG abilities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHRIS BOSH. Get ready for the speculation to begin. If Cleveland were even remotely in a position to get the cap space in 2010 I would actually put a guarentee on LeBron re-signing and bringing Bosh in to replace Z. Don't think it's feasible for them though. There's the potential of both of them going to somewhere like the Knicks as well, but lets hope nothing shady like that happens. Ugh. One interesting option would be the Nets. Even though they aren't moving to Brooklyn thus eliminating the LeBron potential, they might be able to lure Bosh with the prospect of Devin Harris, Brook Lopez and Chris Bosh being a force to be reckoned with. Lopez would give allow Bosh to play his mid-range style of game perfectly and cover up some of his defensive matchup problems when he has to play the 5. Don't think it's true at the moment. I imagine he's unhappy with the moves they've made this year, but they still have 2009 to convince him to stay. Really need some defensive players there. A defensive minded 5 and 3 are really what you need to compliment Bosh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 The Cavs won't have the cap room, but they could maybe facilitate a sign and trade for Bosh or someone else. They could also use their expiring contracts this season or next to grab a quality player that someone might look to dump before the '10 offseason. All things considered, I don't think there's much of a chance that Lebron leaves Cleveland. He has too much of a good thing going there, especially if they win the title this year or next.

Guest Report post Posted February 2, 2009 Bynum is out for 8-12 weeks with a torn MCL. In other words, for the rest of the season. The difference between this year and last is that Ariza is healthy. I still think we will win it all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted February 2, 2009 I think he'll be back. This injury is easier to treat. I think the 8-12 week period is a conservative one...most MCL tears I've seen in sports don't take nearly that long to recover from. They just don't want to disappoint us Laker fans after last season's mess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All things considered, I don't think there's much of a chance that Lebron leaves Cleveland. He has too much of a good thing going there, especially if they win the title this year or next. The Question though is do the Bosh/Wades of the world want to play in Cleveland? I am talking about playing in Cleveland itself nothing to do with playing with James which would be a given. It looks like right now that the top two destinations for free agency is going to be Miami and NYC in 2010. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2009 And I forgot to edit my fantasy lineup to put Kobe in. Fun game to watch so far. Bynum being out won't be the death knell that some are predicting.

jwpeer 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 I think it ends up being Mo Williams. Stern makes the injury replacement decisions. The only All-Star selection I really didn't understand was why Rashad Lewis over Hedo. Hedo is far more important to that team, and a more complete player. But more important than anything else: http://www.tsn.ca/nba/story/?id=265673&...=headlines_main Who ends up in the Horse competition? This is need to know stuff!

There's some things he's pretty annoying about, but he knows basketball and always has good thoughts on the NBA. This seems like it's just a trial before the main stuff and if it's popular they might incorporate it? Maybe they're also worried about the time too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 I'm glad that they added a no dunking rule. That was always a point of contention in horse competitions back when I was in high school. It was quite unfair for a guy who could dunk to sucker a non-dunker into competition. But then again, these are NBA guys, so that probably wouldn't come into play.

Yea but there's still differences between the -types- of dunks certain players can do. I wonder if someone really athletic in the competition will use a crazy stunt 360 'layup' though.
