    I have a feeling Bosh/Wade/LeBron had decided to play together few months ago. Remember how LeBron just gave up in the Celtics series, media talking about his elbow like there was no tomorrow, when in fact there was nothing wrong, it was just him losing series so he can say I'm out Cleveland, you guys couldn't build around me.

    Then Bosh and Wade announcing their intent a day before LeBron, when Bosh had said on ESPN (and other places) that they'd be waiting on LeBron to make a decision then they would decide where to play. Everything was a joke to make us think, while they had in fact decided long time ago.

    A shame really.

    It'll be tough to prove tampering when James was trying to get Bosh in Cleveland.

    I don't see how players talking to players is collusion in the legal sense.

    Bingo.

    I'm certain many players talk about 'playing' with each other at some point in their careers and teaming up, but thats not tampering.

    That's not exactly the best excuse though, perhaps (and this has been suggested before) Lebron knew Bosh wouldn't come (and he knew it was a very very slim chance to begin with) and 'tried' to get him to come, knowing he'd fail in that regard, just to say he tried.
