There was an espn article that I was reading today stating that Lebron James will go to Chicago Bulls and John Callipari will coach them...but were going to have to wait and find out butt the Celtics are taking it today :)

So Lakers beat Utah, and they will take the win against Suns also. Trust me.

Then Cavs will beat Celtics, and then Cavs will beat Orlando.

Then Lakers against Cavs. When the Lakers win, then you will know Kobe is better then Lebron. :D

Rondo puttin on a free clinic on how to run the PG position
As much as I hate that dude, he is hands down one of the best PG's to play the game. He will be the highest paid PG in the next 2-3 years.

The Celtics wisely extended Rondo's contract by 5 years early this season so the guy is already getting paid.

Cavs gave up. Celtics wanted it more.

Lebron is far from MJ- he can't even stack up against Kobe.

Listening to Avery Johnson made me think about the Nets though...
The nets have Devin Harris and Brook Lopez, and potentially a first pick in the 2010 draft. Put that all together and Lebron's eyes might go toward the Nets. Put that together with an owner who is a billionaire, and paying all those salaries wouldn't be a big hassle at all with the extra money.

Devin Harris, Lebron, Brooke Lopez and the potential #1 pick is a good nucleus (although I don't know if Harris would work well with Lebron)...but Lebron joining Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah in Chicago is downright scary. I don't know if Lebron would want to go to Chicago and live under the shadow of MJ even more but man, Rose and Lebron would be nearly impossible to defend.

Rose and Lebron would definitely be a scary matchup, especially since Noah has just been playing insanely this season

guys like magic, bird, jordan, kobe want the ball in their hands in the 4th quarter. ive seen lebron take over games at the end before but what the hell was he doing in the 4th quarter. disappointing. its like his dog died and he found out his gf cheated on him at the same time.

The guy does not have a consistent jumper he can turn to like Kobe does. If he isn't barreling down the lane and finishing, or isn't on a fast break he can disappear for long stretches and become reluctant to shoot. His team played like crap (Jamison was hot garbage, Shaq is not Shaq anymore and Mo Williams went MIA in the second half)...Lebron needed to take over.

He wasnt even willing to take the ball or take all the shots, he passed it up to Jamison and what not. I havent seen something like that since Chris Webber in 2002 game 7 overtime.
Goal for LeBron this summer. LEARN TO HAVE A POSTUP GAME. If a normal sized guy like Kobe can perfect the post with his footwork and become lethal then Lebron has no excuse.

Yeah, he just rolled over and gave up. Passing the ball to Anthony Parker and company when your season is on the line isn't acceptable. You gotta be able to take the ball and just create offense in that position...or at least be willing to put the team on your back.

Lebron doesn't seem consumed with winning a title like Kobe or KG. Winning is nice, but becoming the richest athlete ever seems like his true goal.

I guess we will see what he is made of next year. I know people think he is young but 7 years of NBA + playoffs takes a toll on a body, especially one of his size. He is at his peak and he could fall off fast and hard if he doesn't diversify his game.
