Waiting Game...

Thank you Boston Celtics.

With their win over Cleveland I'm finally riveted by the NBA.

I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens to the four men you see pictured: LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and Amare.

Dirk may also be changing teams this summer.

Joe Johnson is in play.

The NBA is now pure and total chaos.

I think LA will wrap up the title among the four teams that are left.

But Kobe had better celebrate while he can.

The landscape of the league, for the next DECADE, is now on the line.

The games between now and the handing out of the trophy are merely a footnote to the off-the-court activities.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for my hometown, Miami, I think we're in the hunt.

I've previously laid out why I think it's POSSIBLE for the Heat to sign both LeBron and Dwyane Wade.

I don't know how realistic that could be.

But leave me be.

Allow me to dream between now and July 8th (players can agree to deals July 1, but can't officially sign the contracts until July 8th).

This could be the makings of a dynasty.

OR, the Heat could suck for a long, long time.

Players like Dwyane Wade don't happen often.

If he left, it'd be like Sherman walking out of Atlanta. That's General Sherman, not former Heat and Syracuse guard Sherman Douglas (who happened to be nicknamed the General).

So, if I'm going to have a decade of awful basketball, at least, give me this month or so to dream big.

Civic pride is on the line BIG TIME this summer.

How big is your town?

How can you woo the best in the league to come to you?

New York has made their move, they've offered LeBron free lap dances for life at Scores.

Excuse me big apple.

But if you're going to appeal to LeBron's prurient interests, you're barking up the wrong tree.

We have a little more to offer here in Miami.

Now, if you were going to offer him unlimited museum tours.

Or if LeBron happened to have a hipster fetish, you'd be in luck (in your face Swifty).

Chicago, New York, New Jersey, Miami, Los Angeles, Dallas...

This is the summer where EVERYONE is playing for keeps.

This free agency period promises to be more captivating than any NBA regular season, since Michael Jordan retired.

Frankly, once all these guys sign, the rest of the season is going to be anticlimactic.

The NBA: Where waiting for free agency happens.
