    Wow, reports saying that Indiana is "quietly" shopping Roy Hibbert. I can see why, but damn, I didn't think they would do that. A couple league executives have said that it is quite obvious that they have been shopping him around.

    Probably to the Knicks.

    So next year when they get Dwight Howard and Noah, they will each only have to play 16 minutes, keep them fresh.

    Looks like Bosh and Wade are completely in the dark about LeBron.

    Both of their agents have said that they are still approaching this like July 1st and that they are hoping to find success somewhere like they've had for the last four years.

    I would take a shot on Hibbert, but it's not much of a need for OKC, and MIL doesn't ever do anything.

    I wish players would start signing already.

    It's become a staring contest lol first one to flinch.

    Each player is waiting for the other guy to make a move.

    Something tells me that LeBron and Carmelo are talking behind closed doors. Neither has made a decision yet. Maybe there is a huge twist coming out of all of this.

    I've heard a lot of chatter about how Lebron will be ripped apart no matter what he does, but I don't think that's true. I think people want him to leave Miami. If he were somewhere else, I think a lot of people that hate him would start to change their minds. Especially if he goes back to the Cavs, that would be an odd, yet feel good story.

    I don't see why they wouldn't. I've thought about that too. One guys is your offense, the other is your defense. Pretty much no matter where they went, they'd be more talented than the big 3 ever has been together.

    I hope, and think Melo goes to the Lakers though. Him, and Kobe would be neat.

    Yeah I find that to be horseshit.

    The fact is, Miami is the most hated franchise in the NBA according to all the polls. Yes, LeBron is hated by many because of his past decisions, but he is also hated by many simply because of the franchise he plays for. Everyone on this planet can agree that Miami Heat fans are some of the worst fans in the history of Basketball, which coincides with the hatred people have for them.

    If LeBron leaves, the people that will hate him are the people that are so called Heat fans. Any one with some form of intelligence would understand why he left.

    Lebron to the WNBA? It would be epic.

    Borris Diaw resigns with the Spurs for 3 years, $22 million.

    Awesome move by San Antonio! Well worth it

    This whole LeBron thing could get very interesting this week. This is the week where he might reportedly meet physically with other teams.

    Many agents waiting to see if he does or not.

    Why would any of these players in the east want to go to the west to try and get to the finals?? The path to the finals in the west is just ridiculous

    That can change quickly though. If Aldridge and Love go to the East next season things can change. (Wizards coming to)

    Even if those 2 players go to the east.. The west is still much much much better than the east. I see no reason why a player who is chasing rings would want to go through the western conference.

    Miami wasn't hated when we were going 15 and 67, ridiculous how much people hate seeing success.

    No one expected Miami to flame out in 3 straight games. You picked them to lose,but I seriously doubt you expected them to get smacked three games in a row. My point, fortunes can change quickly in the NBA, especially in July. This probably won't happen, but what if Miami added Ariza and Pau Gasol, I'm sure you wouldn't feel as confident.

    Success doesn't breed hate, success gained by complete assholes does.

    How many fans outside the Lakers, Thunder and Mavericks fanbase really hate the Spurs?

    I'd add the Heat "fanbase", but most of them will be wearing different jerseys next season.

    Lol

    This is such bullshit. How many people hate the Spurs? How many people hate the Thunder? How many people hate the Lakers? How many people hate the Clippers? Or Rockets?

    Give me a fuckin break. People hate the Heat because of their terrible fuckin fan base and their piece of shit president. More, the fan base. That is the worst fuckin fan base known to the creation of sports. You should know this as well as I do, we both live there.

    Yup Lebron to the Knicks. For the mid level exception.

    Blake Griffin and Kobe to follow.
