Where there’s an available superstar, there’s Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey waiting in the wings, pen in one hand, checkbook in the other. The Rockets and Morey just won’t go away. Not when it comes to courting superstar free agents. Not when it comes to Chris Bosh. According to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein, the Rockets [...]
Chris Bosh’s and Dwyane Wade’s free-agency excursions just got a helluva lot more interesting. Well that, or there’s a lot of bullshit flying around these parts, which, admittedly, isn’t unusual this time of year Both Bosh and Wade were slated to earn over $20 million next season, but after they opted out of their contracts, [...]

Dwyane Wade won’t let you put the blame for LeBron James’ free-agency decision on him. Maybe Akron will. But Wade won’t. People haven’t stopped talking bout LeBron’s free agency this year.
