With LeBron gone & likely Bosh, If I'm Dwyane Wade, I'm seriously thinking about retiring rather than go thru a rebuild.

And justlikethat, with LeBron back the Cavs are now the 4-1 favorite to win the #NBA title next season, according to @BovadaLV

Those odds will improve once they too complete their All-Star team

Kind of a moronic comment by Dempsey. As if Wade is just going to walk away from millions and millions of dollars and a franchise who caters to him and allows him to play part time.

Now that's an interesting move. Has to elevate OKC to the favorites in the West.

Easily. Might even make them the favorites overall.

I would say they are. All the other pieces are under contract, aren't they?

The important ones anyway. I may change my mind if Cleveland lands Love, Miller, etc, but right now I Like OKC.

Just reported - Bosh staying in Miami

great watching no good free agents come to Denver yet again. ;(

Denver is a stepping stone organization - like a last option.

Sources reported miller canceled a visit with denver and is flying to cleveland.

That is because there is a report out there, that LaBron talked to Miller about coming to Cleveland if that is were he ended up. Denver was not the only place Miller was scheduled to go.

Haven't had a chance to read others' comments yet, but I think LeBron earns back some goodwill doing this.

I like him better than I did yesterday, at least.

So, exactly what is true??????

Spurs, Bulls front-runners for Gasol

The Chicago Bulls and the San Antonio Spurs have emerged as the two leading contenders to land prized free-agent big man Pau Gasol, according to sources close to the process.

Sources told ESPN.com that Gasol is giving strong consideration to signing with defending champion San Antonio -- despite the Spurs' limited financial resources with such a deep roster -- in the event that the Bulls can't strike a sign-and-trade arrangement with the Lakers for Gasol.

The Bulls are making Carlos Boozer widely available in trade discussions, but sources say the Lakers have shown a reluctance in talks with Chicago to take on Boozer's contract unless they also receive a young asset back from the Bulls as well.

All-Star center Chris Bosh has agreed to return to the Miami Heat on a five-year, $118 million contract, sources confirmed to ESPN.

The Houston Rockets also were in the hunt for Bosh, but the free agent has told them he is returning to Miami, sources said.

In addition, sources say Miami is now pushing to keep free-agent guard Dwyane Wade.
