    James received a box before he met with Cleveland this morning.

    Well it was from the Bulls.

    Yes. They challenged him to not fear his shadow.

    To not only live up to MJ standards, but to surpass them as well.

    No. 'Bron is competitive. They challenged him to be like Mike and more.

    Lebron James wore Air Jordan Vs to today's meetings. Am I ridiculous in thinking that's about the most positive sign that we could possibly expect?

    I'm thinking it's a sign he wants to force a S&T to the Bobcats :)

    It actually was part of a campaign put together by the Chicago Tribune, not the Bulls. Someone on RealGM who was familiar with the marketing group that put together the campaign mentioned that the Bulls used the Tribune because they have an exclusive marketing agreement with another firm. That doesn't sound quite right to me -- I've never seen a company sign an exclusive agreement with a vendor, and big companies usually use many servicers. Assuming the Bulls spearheaded the push, or at least were amenable to it, I imagine they did it to skirt the $500 gift limit that teams are allowed to give Free Agents.
