So looking at the Bill Simmons tweet from yesterday, he reported that on sportsbook.com, over a 48 hour timeline the bookies had both Lebron and Bosh at +100's (don't know the exact numbers but they were pretty big) to sign with the Bulls and as of yesterday they are both down to -500 to sign with them. Meaning you bet $500 bucks and if Bosh signs with the Bulls your up a $100 bucks. A rather large bet for a minimal return you say....well if you bet on sports then you know a -500 is a pretty sure thing! Basics of finance peeps!! More Risk More Return....
So what does this imply? First of all some one is a major snitch in either camp or both camps, the Bulls can possibly become the dynasty they once wore, and being a loyal Toronto fan gets you more frustrated as each season goes by. Based on Bosh's media appearances, tweets and his interviews with various sports outlets, its pretty much a done deal that he's gone. We're not the type to cry over spilled milk or rant why he needs to stay but I will say, make your intentions a little more clearer to a franchise that's let you make your case for the past 7 seasons or so.
His "I'm a centerpiece comments" on the mike and mike show (I believe it was mike and mike....or yahoo sports one of the two) are basically a huge contradiction since the Bulls core will be, Rose/Bron/Noah and Bosh. CB4 will be an Amare type player for the Bulls if he does end up there with Bron and in no way will he be a centerpiece player. You have Noah who's just gonna be awesome next season regardless of who comes there, and a one-two punch of Bron/Rose. If you want to be the "Man" then you have 3 teams, NJ, NY and TOR. If I were him, I'd be in NY in a NY minute....just makes the most sense from a PR and ego perspective (that goes for you too Lebron!!!).
But when the bookies have you at a -500 to sign with the Bulls it pretty much is a sure thing. What kills me though, is the fact that Lebron would go there. Seriously, that city already had someone who played there that NOBODY can measure up to, and I think we all know about Lebron and his ego, so why not NY or NJ??? I know your saying both cities have also had greats players there (NY-ewing/king/etc... and NJ - vince...lol) but both franchises haven't won $hit in like a 1000000 years. Bron could be the X factor and the new face for both cities, as could Bosh. When you go to the United Center boys just know there is only room for one statue outside....
Either way, I am excited like everyone else for this weeks NBA action and news that leads to the most anticipated FA class of all time.
