.... and boy, what a boring day it has been so far.

I expected a bunch of dominos to fall on day 1 (LBJ, Melo, Bosh...), but it just hasn't happened. What's holding up LBJ?

I keep asking the same thing. you would have thought that after yesterday's meeting he would have some sort of direction - but I guess not....This is what frustrates me!

Wasn't Carmelo supposed to give his answer on Friday, then on Monday...then after the meeting on Wednesday, when the freak is anyone going to show their cards?????

The most recent rumor is that he is taking a day to talk to his family.

I'm wondering if Lebron is trying to see if the Cavs can sign Bosh as well. Only way I think is for Miami to trade him. Could get a nice haul for Miami to start over.

A real man wouldn't need to talk to his family.

In other news, Steve Blake to the Blazers for the BAE.

Isn't he in Vegas?  It's not even 10 am there. Give him a chance.

Here is an aggregation of Lebron rumors.  The most recent report is that he is on his way to Brazil, so maybe he won't announce a decision until after the World Cup is over.

Anyone that doesn't know by now that LBJ is going back to CLEVELAND is in denial. :-)
Deal may not be done but the decision has been made.

Oh, and apparently the Utah Jazz traded for Steve Novak from Toronto.

Free Agency Signings

Of the realistically available FA left, who are you most interested in?  Birdman anyone? Stiemer? Okafor?

Olynyk is in street clothes for the game today....it is by no means conclusive but that is what would happen if he were being traded.  It could also be totally normal, but just throwing it out there
