Well, where to start? Wade and Bosh are signing in Miami. LeBron is making his decision announcement tomorrow night in Connecticut. What? And this just in…..Carlos Boozer is a Bull. It’s a 5-year $80MM deal, which still preserves their maximum salary offer to LeBron James. It puts the cap figure at $13.8MM leaving just enough space to squeeze in LBJ. Hopefully James hasn’t completely made up his mind all ready and the Bulls can use this signing as a ploy to recruit James into wearing a Bulls uniform. It’s hard trying not to read into things as any thing can happen, but I deduce that since the announcement is coming from Connecticut, James will NOT be returning to the Cavs. If he was, why wouldn’t he just do it in Cleveland or Akron? Sounds like he’s seeking a safe-haven in case Akron erupts into a riot. (That may be hyperbolic, but you understand). The Bulls as an organization have said that they have not officially been told “no” in the James sweepstakes. Though that certainly does not necessarily mean “yes” either.
Tape & Pine Tar:
All this NBA free agency talk is coming in the wake of the news that White Sox ace Jake Peavy is almost certainly done for the season with a detached latissimus dorsi muscle. When asked if he’d be out for the remainder of the season….. “I can’t say,” Peavy replied. Well, that’s not good. Even if he does’t return by the end of the season, how sharp could he be? Peavy throwing if he comes back could be detrimental to the team instead of beneficial. Ozzie has yet to speak to Kenny Williams today, so he does not know if the Sox are pursuing a starting pitcher as of right now. Sources have said, however, that the White Sox are “all over” Adam Dunn. There’s no word yet on which players may be involved in a package for Washington, but there’s still three weeks before the non-waiver trade dealine.
