Saturday morning free agent recap

Thonus does a good job recapping what has happened up till now and how it has affected the Bulls. He then gives his predictions as to who will go where.

List what you think will happen!

1: Amare is leaning towards the Knicks max contract offer. It doesn't look like anyone else is too interested in him. The Knicks are one step closer to completing the Joe Johnson/Amare Stoudemire massive overpayment off-season I predicted when they freed up two max contract slots.

2: Joe Johnson is waiting to see what happens before committing to Atlanta and may consider New York or Chicago still.

3: Bulls are going last in the LeBron meetings re-confirmed by Brian Windhurst (the Cavs dude) after he confirmed it originally and rumors then popped up that the order was flipped.

4: The Bulls met with Wade and Bosh yesterday, but they weren't meeting together. Bosh was at the UC, Wade was with his agent. No one committed to anything, but Wade was intrigued.

5: Intrigued seems to be the word everyone uses to say I'm not telling you crap.

6: The Bulls had a very favorable meeting with Boozer, I noted a source said we could have him if we want him, KC Johnson noted afterwards that the meeting went very well as well.

Present guesses?

LeBron -> Chicago
Wade -> Miami
Bosh -> Chicago or Miami (definitely Miami if we don't get LeBron probably Chicago if we do)
Boozer -> wherever Bosh doesn't go
Amare -> New York
Joe Johnson -> New York

The LeBron domino is the biggest, and I still think it's about 50/50 whether he comes here and not a lock. I do think it's down to us or Cleveland though. If LeBron chooses Cleveland..

LeBron -> Cleveland
Wade -> Miami
Bosh -> Miami
Boozer -> Chicago
Johnson -> Chicago
Amare -> New York

JJ wont sign here for a lot less. So, he was offered Fort Knox to stay in Atlanta. Had that been offered to me, no question, I would have said yes.
