    Bolt from Cavs? That's unreal, LeBron

    Maybe John Calipari would be the perfect guy to coach LeBron James, wherever he plays next season. Cal is such a smooth character, he probably could get James eligible to play at Kentucky, at least until the NCAA tournament is over.

    The James Derby has long taken on the sickening feel of a high school recruiting war, with James being seen as some kind of self-reflective prize, a veritable slam-dunking trophy to be paraded down Broadway or Michigan Avenue, as if to say, "We are No. 1 because we have LeBron James, along with everything else." For Cleveland, he is the means of keeping some semblance of civic pride, like the Goodyear Tire factory, only with tattoos and a headband.

    Maybe Calipari, the King of One-and-Dones, will be the perfect partner for King James, because if James flees Cleveland, he'll lose his last vestige of authenticity. And while Calipari, who sat conspicuously courtside for the Celtics' grotesque dismantling of the Cavs on Tuesday night, is a great college coach, an engaging interview and probably a fun guy to hang around with, no one has ever called him genuine.

    With the Cavs on their heels, playing an elimination game Thursday in Boston, some are saying there's a 50-50 chance James will leave Cleveland after this season, which is a clever way of reporting the obvious: Either he's leaving or he's not. We've known that since he signed a truncated second contract.

    Does Chicago want him? There's no equivocation there. Of course. The city wants him; the Bulls' franchise wants him. There's no downside to getting him. But let's be honest with ourselves. We don't worship false idols in Chicago, and while James is the real deal, the Bulls shouldn't kowtow to him come July 1. They should treat him with deference and respect, and obvious desire, but let's hold out on the begging and keep some self-respect. That goes for the fans and media as well.

    I wouldn't be shocked if he came to the Bulls. They've got a solid young core, and he'd have a legit second option next to him in Derrick Rose.

    LeBron to the Bulls? 3 GMs think so

    Boston Celtics fans were chanting "New York Knicks" during Thursday's Game 6 every time that LeBron James went to the foul line. Maybe they should've been chanting "Chicago Bulls."

    Within minutes of the Cleveland Cavaliers' elimination at the hands of the Celtics, the speculation about LeBron James' next destination resumed in full force.

    In the space of five minutes I heard from three NBA GMs via text, e-mail and phone. All three said that based on the information they have, they believe LeBron will leave the Cavs.

    More surprisingly, all of them said they believe the destination will be the Chicago Bulls. Two said they believe that John Calipari will be the Bulls' new head coach.

    Chad goes on to say that the gms further think that Deng will go in a sign and trade for Bron' so the Bulls can sign either Bosh or Wade.

    Kevin Garnett on LeBron free agency: "Loyalty is something that hurts you at times because you can't get youth back."

    I believe Phil has said the only team he's going to coach is the Lakers. If he doesn't come back to LA, he's not going to coach.
