I realize the NBA is probably behind even soccer on this board but what the hell.

With Stoudemire going to the Knicks, I think that is a sign that they gave up on LeBron.

I don't think LeBron wants to play in Jordan's shadow in Chicago because every thing he does will be compared to MJ.

I think the only way he stays in Cleveland is if Wade or Bosh come there and I don't see that happening.

My prediction is Miami. Playing with D-Wade and having Pat Riley in management plus having an almost unlimited supply of hot chicks will be the deal breakers.

There was "a source" reported on the radio this morning saying he has narrowed it down to the Bull, Cavs, and Nets.

I still think he stays in Cleveland but I could see him going to the Nets, seems like the players are interested in playing for that new Russian Billionaire.

apparently Bosh wants to play in a more high profile city. If Bosh agrees to that, which he should as he'd get much more money, Lebron will stay in Cleveland. If he doesn't. I really have no idea what will happen.

I wish he'd go to the Nets. They could literally build the franchise around him when they move to Brooklyn. I don't think he plays with Wade in Miami - that would be going to Wade's team. LeBron wants to be the man wherever he goes. It could be Chicago, but I think he stays. They'll let him run the entire organization if he wants.

Wade stays in Miami. Bosh goes to Houston in a sign-and-trade. At least I hope.

All-Star PG in Devin Harris, and a legit C in Lopez. Plus, both of them are young. ETA Derrick Favors, who could develop into an all-star, according to "experts".

Here's my conspiracy theory - the Nets are going to try to sell LeBron on some type of plan that will allow him to get partial ownership of the team, either through direct "options" or an arrangement to "reinvest" part of his salary every year. Thus, he can be the first owner-player in the NBA. (minority owner, of course, but owner nonetheless). I saw a movie about an owner-player one time....

Jordanwas an owner who returned to play, instead of a player who became part-owner. per wiki:

</p>
After retiring from the <font color="#0645ad">Chicago Bulls</font> in early 1999, <font color="#0645ad">Michael Jordan</font> became the Washington Wizards' president of basketball operations as well as a minority owner in January 2000. In September 2001, Jordan came out of retirement at age 38 to play for Washington. Jordan stated that he was returning "for the love of the game." Because of NBA rules, he had to divest himself of any ownership of the team.
