Thibodeau hiring as Bulls coach could lure James to sign with team
Here is a piece of great news to all the countless fans of the Chicago Bulls around the world.
The upcoming signing of Boston Celtics assistant coach Tom Thibodeau as its new head coach is superb news to the franchise and its fans in this planet.
As a veteran coach Thibodeau is expected to provide stability and solid team-work for the Bulls so that the team will be more competitive in the next season of the National Basketball Association.
Aside from his skills and veteran leadership, according to basketball experts the hiring of Thibodeau could also entice Cleveland Cavaliers superstar forward Lebron "King" James to sign with the team.
Being one of the top coaches in the NBA, the experts said James would be happy to sign with the Bulls and play alongside Thibodeau especially that the Cavaliers do not have a coach at the moment.
James earlier said that one of the things he is looking for the team he will play is its winnability and the coach who will guide the team.
If ever James will eventually sign with the Bulls it would be welcome news to the franchise and its fans since he can certainly bring a lot of difference to the team.
Once James signs with the Bulls he is expected to team-up with rising point-guard Derrick Rose to make sure the team will be successful in the next NBA season.
The Bulls is currently pursuing actively James who will become a free-agent this year.
The Bulls has enough salary cap to sign James and one more NBA superstar for the team.
James in a recent interview revealed that he had not yet chosen which team to sign but hinted possibility that he will re-sin with the Cavaliers.
The Bulls has decided to hire Thibodeau since he has huge basketball knowledge to help the campaign of the team in the next NBA season.
If I'm Bron I make sure that I'm playing with another Superstar (Wade) who is in his prime (sorry Shaq). So I'd say Miami, especially if they can get Bosh. All it takes then is a few trades for solid veterans who can knock down open shots in crunch time and you got yourself a dynasty.
LeBron James is planning to announce the team with which he will sign during a one-hour special on ESPN Thursday night, ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard has learned through independent sources.
hah a TV special what a joke, David Stern and espn can all scream with glee at everything that Lebron does but the fact still remains...... Brian Scalabrine and Adam Morrison has a ring and Lebron doesnt. And if he doesn't change that massive ego of his, he never will.
I'm really disappointed but not suprised about how Lebron chose to have this broadcasted and made it such a spectacle. Durant let everyone know about his extension in a very humble, low-key way which is classy.
Next year is going to be crazy though, i don't believe there has ever been a time where a player of his caliber (and there have only been a few in the history of the NBA) changed teams when he was entering his prime.
he is going to Miami, im sure he will get a war welcoming party when he plays against cleveland. i hope they throw johnson and johnson baby powder bottles at him when he goes back to cleveland next season. i could care less about cleveland and their teams or lebron for that reason, but dude u just dont get up and leave like that. mj never really left chicago until he had his rings and pretty much the bulls were no longer around. kobe never did. it has always sucked to be an ohio sports fan, a browns fan, a bengals fan, an indians fan, a cavaliers fan. the only thing going for them are the buckeyes...no wonder why their is a huge ass budwesier(is it this?) near columbus, ohio to drown out the sorrow
