miami would be cool, like on a one year deal just to go for a ring, but i really hate the idea of him staying in cleveland, aka the mistake by the lake, where he will never do ish. that place is a dump like oakland and he will never have a good supporting cast like mj did. what a waste of talent if he stay in cleveland. he should go to miami for a year and then go to a winning team , or a winning team off the bat already.

I am betting on Chicago. I was thinking New York until NY landed Amare. I highly doubt he stays in Cleveland. But he is from there, so he may be the loyal type. I do not think LeBron could co-exist with Wade in that setting. Too many stars on one team can be a problem too. I am not sure if that would spell instant ring (LBJ, Wade and Bosh). Sounds good on paper tho.

Big 3 means instant ring. Just like Boston a few years ago. LBJ Wade and Bosh are all at their best right now 2. The Lakers had a tough time with Durant and Westbrook i don't think they could beat those 3 and a decent bench.

The Warriors will be winners again with the right owner. Talent goes where the money is at and Oakland hasn't offered the big talent big money. If the new owner offers that money like he's expected to then the Warriors will win again.

He has a press conference tonight. I think he will go to Miami the 3 of them have been talking together from the beginning. No State income tax FTW!

I like the bulls but I think it would be sick if he went to the Heat. I do believe they would get along since they know what they are getting into. Wade and Bosh have already said they would take less money to play with each other.

Only time will tell, but basketball is about cohesion and chemistry as much as skill. I cannot see LBJ taking a back seat to Wade. I would love to see it happen just to see it. But it does not mean instant ring. Hell Bostons big 3 compliment each other with very little over-lap. Lebron has a low bball IQ I can see stuff getting crossed over there.

ya lebron and wade are to different to coexist i think. him and a stoudemire or bosh would be nice, hell even a derrick rose. but if the heat don't get him, then i think if they get one more key player then they're set. like a point guard or another key wing player

I think he'll end up in Miami for sure...

I think LBJ, Bosh, and Wade are close friends off the court and would love to play with each other.

What if out the cuts he goes to my Lakers!!!!!

I know its not going to happen but I think we would be the top team in the league hands down for the next 5 years...

LeBron to reveal decision Thursday at 9 p.m.

LeBron will announce his choice in a one-hour special on ESPN. (Kelly Kline/Getty Images)

LeBron will announce his decision in a one-hour special on ESPN at 9 p.m. on Thursday, according to Chris Broussard.

The network would only confirm that it’s still in talks about the special, but sources told Broussard that James representatives contacted ESPN with the proposal. The sources also requested that they be allowed to sell sponsorship for the airing, with all proceeds going to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, and that ESPN agreed to the proposal but is unaware of LeBron’s decision.

James’ camp also established a website, LeBronJames.com, to keep fans updated, and the free agent joined Twitter on Tuesday. He hasn’t provided any on clue to his plans on either site. His plans remain unknown to everyone except a select few in his circle.

Since free agency opened July 1, LeBron has met with six teams — the Nets, Knicks, Heat, Clipper, Cavs and Bulls — but SI.com’s Ian Thomsen is convinced his choice will be from among three of those: Chicago, Miami and Cleveland.

In the past few days, that have been varied reports about the Cavs and Raptors agreed to a sign-and-trade to send Chris Bosh to Cleveland, but Bosh has been cold to the idea and a source told Thomsen that the move won’t happen.

Thomsen also believes Bosh and Dwyane Wade will come to a decision Wednesday before LeBron announces where he’ll sign. [ESPN.com, SI.com]

Too bad Toronto isnt intrested in a trade wirh Miami for lack of roster intrest. And as for the big 3 thing, Celtics have a big 3 and they didnt win. It comes down to experience and nerves. Not Lebron, or Bosh have experience in a Finals game, and Wade only has what, 1 ring with Shaq?
Its all a bunch of rediculousness. I dont see how the economy in America is as bad as it is yet all thse sports teams pay these players millions or hundred millions of dollars. Just stupid. But anywho. Lebron is overrated. I like the guy but come on.

You do realize that they have won it with the big 3 right? Perkins going down in the finals killed it for them IMO.

I don't know why but that decision seemed kinda boring, I know he took less years less cash but I think he should have stuck it out in Cleveland.

Chris Paul is right behind them. These fools discussed this in Bei-Jing. A team 7 years in the making. Miami is a powerhouse now. If they manage to grab a worth while point guard its a wrap.

Going out on a limb huh LOL j/k I think it would be great to see both teams at home during the playoff's because everyone thinks Phil Jackson will win cause it's gonna be his last year and the Heat because of these signings.

I think it was something like an additonal year + 30 mill on a max contract.
Idk I like this move myself. Imma big Jordan fan and I do like bron I think he's over the comparisons and is just at the point to where he just wants to win rings. Can you really blame dude for leaving? The cavs didn't do their part by getting big name free agents to keep bron. Shit he gave them 7 years n now the owner is acting a bitch talkin shit about how he quit on the team numerious times. I bet he wouldn't be talking like that had he stayed tho...

oh yea forgot to mention FUCK THE LAKERS!

Unfortunately Miami wont make the finals without a capable point guard. This trio will not do well without a borderline premier guard. I have heard Tony Parker tossed around a few times. But they need someone like that Chalmers is not gonna cut it. Without a point guard this will be a flop of epic proportions.

Miami's at least a year away from really competing. Hell, even if they had a good enough point guard like Fisher they would have a chance but Chalmers is a clown. Their roster besides the big three looks like Afghanistan, bombed out and depleted!

The bench is pretty damn bad. There are some glimmers of hope. Riley doesn't play deep in his bench anyway. So if they can get a solid 9 players with a sketchy 10th and 11th player that will be right up Riley's alley. One thing I will say, is this team will be fouling mugs out. And will be a defensive nightmare if they decide to press. I am not a Miami fan but this will be interesting to watch. I cannot wait.

EDIT

wow seems they are about to trade away Beasley. They are not trying to compete next year. Phase one of obtaining CP3 is already in play. They are trying to compete in 2012 with a super power team.
