LeBron to Chicago?

[Jason Svoboda]

Was just listening to ESPN on my way to grab a bootlegger from Jimmy Johns and ESPN's NBA analyst Chris Broussard said that out of Chicago, Cleveland and New York, his gut is telling him LeBron will go to Chicago. Thought this was very interesting and if I'm looking at the pieces under contract long term, I like what the Bulls have to offer over the other two, namely Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose.

Below is a link to HoopsHype where you can see NBA salaries as well as rosters to see who is coming off the books and who is signed long term.

I still think he'll go to New York if he goes anywhere. Chicago's best bet is Wade, but I don't think they'll get him either.

To win the in the NBA, you need at least two stars. If he goes to New York, who plays Robin to his Batman?

Additionally, rumors have it that New York will be going after Tony Parker. Parker lost his starting job to George Hill and would likely get max money from NY. Would you rather play with Parker or Rose if you're LeBron?

I would rather play with Rose over Parker at the stages of their career. Rose has done a lot of good things in only two years in the league and that is without a player of LeBron's caliber playing with him. Only problem is LeBron and Rose both play with the ball in thier hands so much, not always shooting but dishing the rock as well, that one of them would be in a different role.

I don't know how much LeBron cares about winning a championship. Up until now it seems he's just expected it will eventually happen. He wants teammates who will help, but not steal his thunder. Rose might steal his thunder. Right now the Chicago-LeBron talk is coming from Broussard and no one else outside Chicago.
