@WojYahooNBA: Dwyane Wade expected to be on a flight back to Miami with LeBron James tonight, league sources told Yahoo. They had been together in Vegas.
What happens in Vegas... Stays in Vegas.

James has plans to fly to World Cup over the weekend. Heat and Cavs expect his decision before he leaves for Brazil, sources tell Yahoo.

Well that's unfortunate for the Parsons timetable.

Not that he's wrong, but we have gotten many false timetables with regards to Mr. James making a decision.

lebron goes back to cleveland to finish his career, melo resigns with ny to finish his career, parsons signs with mavs and improves the squad slightly and the mavs never see the 2nd round of a playoff series, <------------IMO, I dont want to hurt butts around here.

What is slightly? 3 wins? 4 more wins? How about Tyson Chandler? Let me guess hes too injury prone to make a difference. If we get Parsons we will finished top 5 in the West with a team that knows how to play in the playoffs. Houston on the other hand..... well they got smashed by Lamarcus Aldridge and will continue to underperform.

After reading the latest on LeBron and the possibility that the Dan Gilbert letter "still bothers him" I think LBJ's agenda is becoming more clear. He wants the people in Cleveland to think that he would return home if it weren't for that jerk of an owner. This feels like he is heading back to Miami. Surprise!

I'm lost - do we want LBJ in Miami or Cleveland? Not sure how that plays out for Bosh/Houston/Parsons?

No doubt. Even Woj and Stein can't report useful information when there isn't any.

Staying in Miami.
Means no Bosh to Houston. Bosh in Houston and Morey matches to try to win ring. No Bosh but Parsons for 15m (and Asik gone) means the team is pretty much weaker than last year but with basically no financial flexibility.

LeBron announces he's going to Cleveland. Houston will now probably offer Bosh in the realm of $19M (a bit under max) and match Parsons, if they can unload the necessary assets in time.

Eh well, it was nice to think of Parsons being a Mav.
At least the Heat can suck it.

Not only do the Mavs probably lose out on Parsons..but the division is going to be absolutely insane next year. Hopefully the Mavs can improve..

Oh well. At least Houston's goign to have a convoluted cap picture for awhile.
What are the chances we could just trade for a starting SF with some combination consisting of Wright?

I'm happy for Cleveland. It will be a ton of fun to watch the young roster they are putting together up there go to work. Now if we can just nab Stephenson for 10 mill per and use the rest of the space for VC, Mo and perhaps trade Wright for a solid 4 we will be set!

The real loser is Presti and the Thunder...just think, his stupid Harden trade weakened his team and pretty much created this Rockets team. No Harden, no Dwight. No Harden&Dwight, probably no Bosh...
Would laugh my ass off seeing the Thunder getting kicked out by the Rockets

Personally I think without a revamp of the Thunder roster their window is closing. The West is just too tough.

Thank god though that the both the Thunder and Rockets retained their overmatched coaches. One of the best things to happen for us and the rest of the West this offseason.

Couldn't agree more. I know some people believe in the Westbrook + Durant combination. Personally I think Durant would be much better suited with a true PG. Love Durant.. I hope he ends up with a championship. I just don't see it happening soon.

I would LOVE Jeff Green in a trade for Wright/Felton/picks... doubt Boston wants Felton but yeah. The talent and athleticism is there with Green, but he's not made to be a number 1 option, which he had to be this year in Boston, so his %s slipped. Playing with Dirk and Monta would really benefit him. They actually had Green on the trade block not too long ago, and they drafted that James Young kid from Kentucky in the first who plays SF... wouldn't hurt to give the Celtics a call on Green.

Would love to see Durant win a championship. Just not in OKC due to the Stern sanctioned team thievery.

@SpearsNBAYahoo: At the moment, Cavaliers rookie swingman Andrew Wiggins' camp believes he won't be traded to Minnesota for Kevin Love.

That dude.
He's not Dirk, but going back after he won his titles will earn him a lot of reputation.
