LeBron

Just wanted to share, in the waning moments before LeBron James' big announcement as to where he'll next play basketball, that I am going to be happy no matter where he ends up.

Seeing three All-Stars in Miami would be intriguing. They're quite younger than the "Big Three" of Boston were when that nucleus first formed. At last, it could ensure that some power remains in the Eastern Conference for the future. Kind of like in Armageddon when they bundle up all the earth's nukes and fire them at the asteroid. Ignore the fact that the move did squat. It was still awesome to see. This would be too.

On the other hand, the salaries of those three would cash-strap the Heat (who literally have only 4 players under contract at the moment) from putting many other pieces on the floor around them. And though fans of the pick-and-roll would convince you otherwise, it takes five to win a championship, not three.

Keep in mind too, that if the Bulls land LeBron (which seems unlikely considering that his home is in Cleveland, he wore a Yankees cap at an Indians baseball game, and is apparently hosting a party in Miami) then they'll have three all-star players of their own. They'd be in some good shape.

If he goes to Cleveland, it's a home grown feel good story. New York, it's like surgically attaching concrete blocks to his ankles. Chicago, admittedly - who knows what goes on in their management's mind?

Excuse me while I go watch some TV!
