I think Byron Scott is a good coach.  He got a bum deal in NO, IMO.

[mbamoody]

I'm hearing Byron Scott is favorite to coach Cavs. Personally I'd rather see him or Magic Johnson take over Lakers once Jackson hangs it up for good.

been there, didn't work.

Oh really? I didn't know that.

O rly?

Yes, because of salary cap issues plus there are so many who believe that the NBA is fixed.

Ummm I hope this doesn't get me in trouble, I apologize in advance if it does, but has anyone heard about the thing that caused Lebron to play so bad in Game 4, I think?

I have no idea what you're talking about.  Oh wait.  You're not talking about those rumors about his mother, are you?  I doubt that had anything to do with it.

Yep!

Word on the street has it that Phil Jackson is leaning towards retirement. Yet at the same time, the thought of going for a 4th 3peat also intices him.

What do you think he will do?

Personally I think he should try for the 3peat and then retire.

The only reason I'd think he would retire is if he does 3-peat, then he will be enticed by the idea of a 4-peat and so on...

Also, about Kobe's persona, many people perceived MJ as arrogant also...but for some reason, I'd take MJ's personality over Kobe's any day BTJM

Several NBA Execs think Lebron will be a Chicago Bull



"The executive, who did not want to be identified discussing a player who is not yet a free agent, said he had gathered from discussions with his fellow N.B.A. executives that James was strongly leaning toward joining the Bulls in tandem with another free agent, Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors.

"I think it's a done deal," the executive said.... "

oooooooooooo Chevonee.   Yeah I heard about it on sport talk radio, however on the sports networks I haven't hardly heard a peep.  It's probably real but for some reason the media as a whole is not touching it.

I'm putting my Holy Ghost money on Chi-town baby.  LeBron know that he can't step up in there with number "23".  That's why he changed his number.  Bulls no doubt.  Only question is who goes with him.

Amar'e to the Knicks

This signing alone means absolutely nothing for the Knicks.  Amar'e alone won't make them a playoff contender.  He's good bait for the big Free Agents out there though.

A new Dynamic Duo?

"ESPN's Chris Broussard and Shelly Smith both are hearing the announcement will come later today (both getting it from separate sources)."

Very good duo but I'm wondering how they will fill out the rest of their roster. Lebron has been left in the cold.

I wouldn't quite say that.  He has the basketball world at his fingertips.  He could sign with Miami, albeit for less money than he could get elsewhere.  But, I doubt that's the way he's going to go.  I'm sure they all discussed it at some point.

How about LeBron making his announcement tomorrow in an hour long program on ESPN?

What an ego.   

[mbamoody]

i am really disappointed in this year's free agency. For all the hype, there really haven't been any major shake-ups. I'm convinced that most of these guys were trying to get a major payday from their own teams before the new CBA kicks in. I wanted to see all the top players move teams.

He can't wear the number 23 in Chi town anyway, since it is retired.  They word on the street is that Chi Town sent him the #1's which were made in 1984 and said can you fill these shoes.  Also sent him the Ring box (or seven rings boxes) and said can you bring the seventh home to us.
