Ok, I was wrong. I admit it.
I said LeBron had comitted to the Bulls, and in fact he went with Miami. That’s the last time I trust my sources.
Of course, I sort of figured LJ would go to the Heat given that neither Wade nor Bosh had salary figures with Miami, suggesting their true pay depended on whether James joined. But, you know, every one was starting to say James was gonna sign with Miami, so it would have been boring for me to say that.
Speaking of boring, how boring is this next season going to be now? Because, really, there’s no suspense now. The Heat — this team that was orchestrated by James — will just dominate. Sixty wins easy. Maybe 65.
Seventy?
But the real loser in this whole thing? Amare Stoudamire. Here’s a guy who thought he was going to a Knicks team that was turning things around, only to find that he’s the only one headed to the Big Apple. Which should help the Knicks maybe be a .500 team again. But the glory years are far from the radar.
Where’s John Starks now?
Of course, at least they have a shot at .500. The REAL losers are, of course, the Cavs, who will go from 60 wins in a season to probably somewhere around 35. Sorry, Cleveland. There’s always the Browns.
Oh, yeah. Sorry about that, too. Well, there’s always the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But, really, isn’t it time Quincy Jones got in there?

/ July 8, 2010Keep your head up Pembertonian, the Cavs are going to win a title before the King does in Miami. Their delusional owner says so.
Vegas is the one who really blew this one. Miami had 35-to-1 odds in landing LeBron back on May 14.
You’re still brilliant in my eyes. Three blog posts in 24 hours is a testament to that. Slim will never leave this team. No matter how much money Deadspin throws at me.
