I wonder if our "plan B" has become our only plan.. I'm hoping Walsh and D'antoni know something that we don't know. Lol

Has there ever been a case where a player has verbally agreed to sign with a team and then reneged and signed with another a week later? I mean things have been very different from previous FA summers. All these teams are on the verge of tampering
Why you think there's so many reports of "done deals" tho?, putting this summer aside, usually when you hear reports like that the player and the team already have a non-public verbal agreement, then everything else is just a waiting game and then finally to put on a show.

[h1]Knick Official: LeBron To Bulls 'Not Even Close' To Done Deal[/h1]
Jun 28, 2010 7:09 PM EST
Two of the fiercest competitors for LeBron James appear to be the Knicks and Bulls.
A team official with the Knicks who did not wish to be identified told The New York Times that James is still within New York's grasp.
"It’s not even close to being a done deal," the official said about a general manager's statement that he thought both James and Chris Bosh were certain to sign with the Bulls.
In the meantime, Donnie Walsh continues to insist that his free-agency plans do not revolve around any one player.

Isn't that tampering? He is still a Knick until July 1st ? or am i wrong
Honestly, i wouldn't be surprised if Dirk gets some attention next week, when everything begins.. I know he respect Coach alot, and like Gallo.. I don't think he's asking for max either, just a long term contract.
[h1]Rockets Will Try To Woo Bosh With Truckloads Of Fans[/h1]

Based on their fans' suggestions, the team is planning to send three trucks' worth of Rockets' fans to their free-agent meetings.
[h1]Wade Says None Of Top Free Agents Has Made Decision[/h1]
Jun 28, 2010 7:04 PM EST
"I haven’t set anything in stone," Wade said. "It’s funny when you hear these things come out, especially when they come out about you."
Wade will let the process play out before making his decision.
"But none of us know what’s going to happen," he said, referring to himself and the other top free agents. "Not LeBron. Not me. Not Chris. Not any of us, right now.
"I love Miami and everyone knows that. We worked hard to put ourselves in this position. But as a free agent, you explore everything and see what happens."
A barrage of conflicting claims about free agents' intentions -- many of which claim that certain players have already made up their minds -- are littering the airwaves and Web as the start of free agency nears.

Jordan will always be seen as the one and lebron will just be seen as a second great player who just brought us a few championships. The love chicago fans have for jordan cannot surpass....It just wont...even if he wins 7-8 the thing will be 'jordan played against better players'
there will always be some !%*@...but if he does it elsewhere lets say NY, Nets, etc. they wont even give a !%*@ about jordan..best thing about NY is many knicks fan hated jordan...and if lebron wins...everyone will say lebron>jordan
i just wish knicks had a complete roster to offer lebron, then this wouldn't even be a freaking question.
Yea I'm not sure you actually read the article or not but I can tell you know absolutely nothing about Bulls fans, matter fact Chicago sports in general. We don't go around comparing our current players to Mike, or worrying about whether they will live up to what Mike did we know that can't be done so we embrace them for what they are doing for us right here and right now. We understand what Mike did and why it was so special and do not expect it to be duplicated, we just want to win. Noone here is expecting him to be Mike, we just want to win to get back to that feeling again... The only time any other bulls player that has ever been mentioned in comparison to Mike is Pippen during the 93-94 season and thats because people wanted to see if he could do it as "The Man" and he almost did a few bad calls away from taking us back to the Chip... Even picked up an MVP... But as I was saying we tend not to compare people to MJ, that happens enough everywhere else.
As far as LeBron being the 2nd great player... I think that's working out pretty well for Kobe out in L.A., hell Pierce, KG, Ray in Boston... Its not about what they did in the uniform its about what you do... If you win you're immortalized point blank period, any person with common sense should be able to see that.
the mentality that it isn't possible won't allow him to be better...
why can't he? lebron has a better chance to be better than MJ than kobe i think, stats and rings wise.
just has to play his cards right and go somewhere who does believe he is the greatest ever, or at least can be.
that is: The New York Knicks

Didn't Boozer do that? Or something very similar.

For those on Twitter, you guys should follow @LarryCoon...he's a salary cap expert and is breaking down the finances of everything. Heat can't sign Wade-LeBron-Bosh unless they dump Beasley and Chicago will be a tad bit short of adding a second max player even when the Hinrich trade goes through.
