Where did this 3:30 rumor even originate?  I haven't heard a single thing about it.

It was Sam Amick

You need to step up your twitter game, son.

Whoops, Sam Amico.

At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Interesting to check out Amico's twitter feed: https://twitter.com/SamAmicoFSO
He stands by the 3:30 thing.

Felger & Mazz, and then SC. Amico tweeted it too.

He doesn't have much choice, though. He got burned by a bad source, but he can't backtrack on what he was told.

It almost certainly did not originate with Felger & Mazz.

I hope Bosh beats him to the punch and announces he is signing with the Rockets before Lebron gets to make his announcement.

Yeah, I'd love to see all of the other big name FA's just say the heck with it, let's all announce our decisions before Lebron

Bosh and LeBron discuss next moves on twitter (satire)

I can't stop laughing. TP.
Lol that's funny. 

Honestly, if Bron even mildy respects Chris Bosh (which he must), he'll make his decision in the next 3 days, because if he waits any longer, Bosh will miss out on the Houston offer and it will kind of be screwing him over a bit.  There's some pressure on LeBron to get this resolved, because it's sort of leaving his friend in a rough position.

He really needs to make the decision in the next day. Huston only has 3 days to work out trades to make room for Bosh or they have to either sign Parsons, which they will loose money on for Bosh, or let Dallas snag him.

I think they still have to finalize Asik and find a taker for Lin and filler to make room. There goes some of Hustons draft picks!!!

I mean... that's just weird then.  They are tying up police resources for an announcement that might not even come today? 

3:30ET was two hours ago.

The first one I read was 3:00 PM, actually -- from the guy who broke the increased police presence story. Then 3:30. Then never. So it goes.

TIL:  There's a Sam Amick and a Sam Amico who both cover the NBA.

I figure if he is going to announce, he will tell ESPN ahead of time so more people watch, which will in turn up their ad revenue for the evening.  I don't think he'll just tweet it or anything like that, at the very least he'll want reporters there and they'll all tweet that they're about to cover it.

I read -- somewhere, I'm fighting through work and a head cold so I've forgotten exactly -- that word was the news would be broken on his website: which is why people freaked out when the site went down.

Lebron really absorbed that habit of showing up late down in Miami.

To be honest i hope he just does it with a tweet or through an agent. Then he can make a statement publicly within 24 hours. Just go low key.

No matter what he does it will be big news.

Seems like he hasn't learnt from the Decision back in 2010, oh well ::)
