This whole thing is probably the most interesting/stupid thing ever.

because of the insanity of the CBA, if the Heat work a sign-and-trade for Mario Chalmers through Charlotte, they will get their MLE back.

The Cavs have made an offer to the Wolves for Kevin Love involving Andrew Wiggins, according to ESPN Cleveland. If the Cavs do get LeBron, that is an absolutely brilliant move. Love seems like the kind of guy that would be willing to be the number 2 or even number 3 guy on a team, if it means a championship, and future success.

@fisolanydn Carmelo told a friend within hour "I believe in Phil." Thursday is decision day & it looks like Melo's coming home Less than a week ago, it was reported that during his meeting with Houston, Carmelo Anthony said his "first priority is to win." Well, now we know that to be a lie, because of all the things he'll be able to do in New York, winning is certainly not one of them.

Mike Miller's market price is "rapidly rising" to around $4-4.5 million per year and he is getting interest from the Grizzlies, Thunder and Nuggets.

@spearsnbayahoo NBA Salary Cap has increased by 7.5% to $63 million for the 2014-15 season. The tax level for the 2014-15 season increased to $76 million.

Well, now we know that to be a lie, because of all the things he'll be able to do in New York, winning is certainly not one of them. At least with LeBron when he said he wanted to win, it was complete honesty. If it was all about money, he wouldn't have went to Miami a few years ago. Mike Miller's market price is "rapidly rising" to around $4-4.5 million per year and he is getting interest from the Grizzlies, Thunder and Nuggets. As it should, he was important to the Heat's championships. You need players like Mike Miller to win championships.

Love/Wiggins would benefit both teams. Minny gets Love off their hands and a young franchise player in Wiggins, and Cleveland gets another piece to lure in LeBron. Even if LeBron doesn't come, Love/Kyrie is a great combination. Everyone wins.

Unless you are a Heat fan it's gonna suck after all this if he just signs a two year deal with Miami.

Unless you are a Heat fan it's gonna suck after all this if he just signs a two year deal with Miami. My concern, which appears to slowly be coming to fruition, is that the status quo would be maintained this off-season. I was really hoping for a seismic shift in the power structure of the NBA, that LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Kevin Love would all find new homes, and we'd have a new competitive balance in basketball. Unfortunately, with Carmelo Anthony's decision to stay in New York, I fear that everything is just going to remain as is for the foreseeable future. LeBron will reunite with Bosh and Dwyane Wade in Miami, they'll sign a few more bench pieces, and they'll just be the Heat we've known since 2010. Minnesota won't find a deal that sates them and Love will stay a Timberwolf until the trade deadline or next summer. My hope was that we'd see a shake-up and the potential for a new crop of dominant teams emerging from this summer, but with each passing hour, it just feels more and more likely that we're headed for Miami vs. San Antonio or Oklahoma City in the 2015 NBA Finals. Ho-hum.

When is the announcement supposed to be? Probably during an hour-long special on ESPN Thursday night, in which LeBron will announce his decision in a gym surrounded by dozens of little human shields...I mean, children! Lovable little children from the local Boys and Girls Club! Children that are in no way there as a means to deflect criticism!
