Re: Stephen A Smith had the rumors flowing today....
I don't think any of this is more than speculation from SAS and the people he's talked to. I highly doubt this has been on LeBron's mind at all. Melo, perhaps but even in his case I think an extension will be inked this season...there's so much $ on the table for him.

[QUOTE=BBallZen83]ESPN. TMZ for NBA.[/QUOTE]
seriously. I don't know what it is about ESPN's NBA studio crew, but they're clearly the worse of the big 3 sports studio crews for ESPN. Even probably worse than their NHL crew (I mean, Barry Melrose alone carries that crew). Half of the NBA crew are all morons or trash talkers, etc (maybe that's a reflection of the sport...?).
Half the damn studio crew is bad, imo. Not just the insiders SAS and Broussard, but I think Jalen Rose and Magic are pretty bad too. And Bill Simmons is a troll. Funny sometimes, annoying at others. Jon Barry is pretty good at analyzing, but he's an asshole.
Rambis was real good, but he's gone now. It's pretty much just Legs, Mullin, Bowen, Wilbon, and Bucher that tolerable to good.

They're both tools for the agents players and GM's of the league. If you want to spread information or disinformation you just wait for these two to call and let them in "on the secret"
That's why you can't trust a word they say. They may be spouting the truth as they know it but there's a good chance what they are telling you is propaganda from a source with an agenda that needs a mouthpiece. It's like how Kobe use to use Ric Bucher as his mouthpiece in the media.
Remember Bucher's famous "I've been told by people close to Kobe that Kobe will never wear Purple and Gold again" "There's nothing the Lakers can do to make him change his mind" The only guy in the room that didn't know Bucher was being used was Bucher or if he did know he certainly didn't care if he was Kobe's puppet in the media

Re: Stephen A Smith had the rumors flowing today....
Yeah, I've also "heard" that the Knicks are going to win the title in 2014. NOT SAYING IT'S GONNA HAPPEN, it's just what I've heard.

Re: Stephen A Smith had the rumors flowing today....
No way Lebron wins anything in NY. Either he'll stay in Miami (cashing in with a big contract or some other star joins him) or he ll go back to Cleveland.
Same for Melo, i can't see him leaving his hometown.
Re: Stephen A Smith had the rumors flowing today....
[QUOTE=bagelred]He knows absolutely nothing. Why even bother listening to him.
It's too late for Lebron to come to Knicks anyway. James Dolan would not want him. Lebron had his chance and didn't take it. Lebron is dead to Dolan.[/QUOTE]
I didn't put much stock in the Doc/KG to the clips story either. He knows nothing? Just keep thinking that.

Stephen A Smith was the first one to call Lebron to Miami. His sources obviously suck. He's on Chris Douchard's level with his scoops.

Was this on his radio show?
Re: Stephen A Smith had the rumors flowing today....
If Bynum becomes a superstar, Bennett becomes quite good and Kyrie remains very solid then there is a very small chance he returns to cleveland. He wants an owner who wants to build a team not an owner who wants to shred his team like OKC. He might have to purchase a big share of the cavs himself to make that happen. Want to win? Have to be willing to pay big money. Can't win if your owner is a tight ass. Just look at all the champions e.g. Lakers, Mavs, Boston etc how many of them have tight ass owners?

I don't even pretend to be a Heat fan. Why would I pretend to be a fan of your shitty franchise? But I would almost feel happy for you if LeBron went to NY. You have spent countless hours on here defending a losing player like Carmelo Anthony. Almost to the point of people considering delusional. Maybe just once you could root for a player that actually wins MVPs, titles, etc. Instead of ones that have historically bad playoff winning percentages and take a decade to win their first NBA award.

SO LEBRON GONNA RUN TO YET ANOTHER LOADED TEAM? HE'S TROLLING THE LEAGUE ISN'T HE?:coleman:

Not saying he doesn't hear things, but this predictions one year out are nonsense. Read the OP. I could have said most of those things with no sources. Just general nonsense...."Melo is 50/50 on leaving NY" :oldlol: guess he's right either way, eh?

It's happening.
Re: Stephen A Smith had the rumors flowing today....
Well Melo has been hanging out and practicing with CP3 and Blake Griffin. I don't think he's interested in the lakers. The Clippers are the better team and he has friends there and they will win games. But I don't know how the Clippers money situation will be after this season.

1) Melo is 50/50 to return to Knicks. Lala loves LA, Melo likes LA, Melo is not sure what Knicks will look like year after, always random chance Lebron could go to LA with Melo. Segways to....
2) Lebron is possible to Cleveland. However, there is a small chance (he's told people) that [B]he might consider the Knicks if they could clear cap room, lose Melo[/B]. (Yes, we are starting this again.) However Lebron may want to stay with Heat until Riley retires...

Wait, so if the Knicks look bad then Melo leaves, and if Melo leaves LeBron may join said Knicks that Melo thinks looks bad? Why would LeBron go to a team that looks bad?
