this stuff is obviously being done on purpose to maximize profitability and exposure for everyone. WWW got thibs a job. i think joe johnson and amare was just confirmed to be a max guys because WWW told both the bulls and heat that lebron would go there, thus making them open up even more room.
there are also reasons over my head. i just think it's time that we all agree that lebron and his boys are manipulating the media for their own reasons. some hidden and some blatant.

Joe Johnson still could have an impact on a team. I think he's one of the couple players who will get overpaid this offseason, but that doesn't mean he can't help change a team around. Mix him in a rotation & that team will most likely improve.

Joe Johnson isn't a max player, the playoffs proved this. Good player, not a super star though. Has Joe ever played in a structured offense?

I like my dude JA, he's good people, I was just commenting on how it was pretty loud out in Dallas land for a bit and then it suddenly got real quiet. Was only curious is all.
Wonder if Raja knows something? Or he just likes South Beach. Either way, I dunno what he has left. Haven't seen him play meaningful minutes in like 4 years.
Joe is good, but I dunno if he wins anything as a 1-2. As a 3 I could see it, but does anyone honestly think him as the second option makes a team dangerous? I don't see that. But, maybe on a deep deep team, as the 2, maybe something could come together for them. He did play pretty damn well vs Boston in 08 for a stretch.....

Heard this a few days ago and forgot to post it.
Josh Childress is coming back to the NBA next season and it looks like it might be with the Wizards.

[h1]Wade Says None Of Top Free Agents Has Made Decision
[/h1]Jun 28, 2010 7:04 PM EST
Dwyane Wade denied making any firm free-agency plans, including a trip to visit any team.
"I haven’t set anything in stone," Wade said. "It’s funny when you hear these things come out, especially when they come out about you."
Wade will let the process play out before making his decision.
"But none of us know what’s going to happen," he said, referring to himself and the other top free agents. "Not LeBron. Not me. Not Chris. Not any of us, right now.
"I love Miami and everyone knows that. We worked hard to put ourselves in this position. But as a free agent, you explore everything and see what happens."
A barrage of conflicting claims about free agents' intentions -- many of which claim that certain players have already made up their minds -- are littering the airwaves and Web as the start of free agency nears.

Seems like there is a power-struggle between folks in Lebron's camp....I had a feeling that this would happen when WWW put himself into the fold. Who exactly is looking out for Lebron's best interest? I wonder if Lebron would ever cut ties w. his boys because of his ties to WWW....

[h1]Raps GM Colangelo thinks Bosh is gone, hopes for trade[/h1]
TorontoRaptors Chris Bosh speaks to the media after finishing the NBA seasonin Toronto April 15, 2010. REUTERS/Mark Blinch (CANADA - Tags: SPORTBASKETBALL)
Toronto Raptors general manager Brian Colangelo told 590 AM radio in Toronto Mondaythat he thinks forward Chris Bosh will sign elsewhere this offseasonbut he hopes Bosh will do a sign-and-trade with his new team.
"I think it's likely he will leave, the question is will he put usin a position to benefit from a sign-and-trade scenario that could nethim the most money and us something coming back," Colangelo said.
"There's so much out there right now," added Colangelo. "(Bosh) isgoing to wait for probably LeBron (James) to make a decision and theneverything else is going to happen."
"Anybody that says they know what is happening, is nonsense. I dofeel like I have an insight because I've had a chance to communicatewith Henry Thomas (Bosh's agent) and with Chris Bosh over the lastcouple of months about various other things. But it's not like anyoneis sitting here with any information that those individuals themselveshave shared with anybody."
Sunday the New York Times quoted an NBA executive who believes Bosh will sign with the Chicago Bulls along with LeBron James.
Colangelo added that Bosh has declined his 2010-2011 player option.That option if exercised would have been worth $17.149 million.

[h1]Sources: Mavs to pursue Johnson[/h1]
By Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports 12 hours, 56 minutes ago
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban will pursue a sign-and-trade to lure Atlanta Hawks free agent Joe Johnson(notes), league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The Mavericks are unlikely to engage the Cleveland Cavaliers into a sign-and-trade for LeBron James(notes), but Johnson has emerged as a realistic target for the Mavericks. Johnson, is more likely to embrace a sign-and-trade to the contending Mavs than sign a free-agent contract with New York or Chicago, sources said.
