There's been tons of speculation as to which team Lebron James will sign with once the NBA free agency period begins on July 1st. His main options include New York, New Jersey, Chicago, and Miami. Nobody has any idea where he will end up (most sources say Lebron himself is still undecided), and when asked the question, most of the "experts" name one of the four cities before admitting something like, "But nobody knows for sure." Gee, thanks guys.
Yesterday though, Fox's Stephen A. Smith made a bold prediction regarding the resolution of the NBA's largest off-season story. Smith said to Dan Patrick:
I got a call last night from a source and I double-checked it with another and they told me essentially that LeBron James and Chris Bosh are going to tag team and go together and join Dwyane Wade in Miami.
Around 10 o’clock last night or so I heard the news and stayed up for a few more hours and made a few phone calls and I felt comfortable enough to go with what I reported.
I believe it’s highly likely, I wouldn’t say anything is a done deal with LeBron James until it’s signed.
If Smith is right and Lebron ends up in Miami with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh this off-season, it could spell the beginning of a Heat dynasty. And why not? We already know that signing high-profile free agents can help a team win, like the 2008 Celtics. Miami's "Big Three" would consist of two of the best guards in the NBA, and a young, athletic big man with room to improve. That makes for a scary outlook in the Eastern Conference for years to come.
