I think its realistic that we will get Bosh, but no one knows anything. All these reporters are making stuff up to get some publicity, especially Stephen A Smith, nothing he has said has happened.

I'm gonna be honest here and say that I might be starting to question our strategy. Granted, Riles knows a lot more than any of us do at this point or anyone at ESPN or Yahoo. That being said though, with all this Wade and Chicago talk, I'm a little surprised that Riley is so calm about everything.

Either Riley has everything under control, or he has no idea wtf to do. I hate how we are so quiet about things, I have not heard one positive thing from us since the first day of FA.

Latest from Ric Bucher:

  1. All my tweeps who didn't get the "leaving the river w/an empty crawl" line: Really? We have that many people who've never fished? 1 minute ago via web

[*] And, no, I'm not saying he's staying in Cle, though I've thought that all along. But the general sentiment out there now is that he is. 5 minutes ago via web

[*] Chi's hardball didn't cost them LeBron. Most teams have doubted he was leaving for a while now. Chi took bull by horns. So to speak. 6 minutes ago via web

[*] Tor's threat not to S&T Bosh is to get his attention. Pick up the phone or it could cost you $30m. Truth is, Raps can't afford not to S&T. 11 minutes ago via web

[*] Thanks @jpac87 for pointing out I forgot an element in my last tweet. Scenario: Bosh to Hou in S&T. Amare to NY. Booz to Mia. Chi: ummm... 23 minutes ago via web

[*] Several indications Amare has fallen out of Mia picture. Hard to believe, but Chi could be the team leaving the river w/an empty crawl now. 29 minutes ago via web

[*] Sources say Bulls went along w/the Wade ear tickle so they could tell LeBron they had Wade + ask today for an answer: You coming or not?

From Ira:

 

Agent Henry Thomas says he is in communication with Heat, with a possible Heat-Wade presentation to be scheduled. Still plenty to play out.

 

Also, Riles and the rest of his team are back in Miami meeting with each other now. They're gonna meet with Dwyane on Tuesday.

Thats just great...I hope Bosh signs with us, if not we are screwed.

 

Here's how I look at that rumor. We don't have enough to trade for both of those guys. IMO, we're gonna pair one of those guys with Bosh in the frontcourt.

Looks like we're talking to Dallas about a trade for Haywood.

 

Jul 06, 2010 4:02 PM ESTBrendan Haywood is reportedly the subject of trade discussions between the Mavericks and Heat.

 

Miami would send free-agent big man Jermaine O'Neal or Michael Beasley — or both - to acquire Haywood.

 

The Heat could also be interested in Rodrigue Beaubois or J.J. Barea from Dallas.

FWIW, I've also heard Caron Butler's name mentioned quite a bit as well.

LMAO this is a comment from Ira's blog:

 

Tony says: July 6, 2010 at 1:59 pm Time: Thursday, July 8, 12:03 AM.

Location: Henry Thomas’ office in Chicago, IL.

 

Dwyane Wade looks over the final page of the contract, admiring the Bulls logo in the letterhead. He takes a deep breath, looks over to Henry Thomas, and prepares to sign the contract. Just as his pen touches the paper, the window behind him shatters. The culprit: a mouthpiece. The mouthpiece, embossed with a fiery basketball, wedges itself between pen and paper.

 

Just as Wade and Thomas gather themselves, they notice a towering figure before them. Its Udonis Haslem. In one deft move, Udonis slings another mouthpiece at Henry Thomas, knocking him unconscious. Another figure silently floats into the room. Is it Magneto? No! It’s Pat Riley…and he’s wearing an Armani cape. He cocks his head down, imparting a cool, yet slightly annoyed gaze at Wade: “You’re coming with us, Dwyane.” Just as Wade begins to protest, Udonis knocks him across the jaw with an elbow: “Quit jiving us with your diva [expletive], fool!”

 

Wade, smarting from the blow, begins a half-hearted plea, citing his children. Riley, now growing impatient, motions over to the conference room door: “I’m sorry that it’s come to this, Dwyane.” The door suddenly swings open, with Michael Beasley stumbling into the room. Mike takes a minute to gather himself, and scans the room with his bloodshot eyes. He then stumbles over to Wade and exhales a large cloud of smoke, rendering Wade unconscious. Pat Riley nods his head at Udonis: “Tie him up and throw him up into the burlap sack. Find out how Alonzo is doing with Lebron. Come, Michael. It’s time to pay Chris a visit.”
