I dunno, all reports are saying Miami right now. And since LeBron’s group has been keeping this really hush-hush, it’s hard to imagine that LeBron would tell Amar’e and then Amar’e would just pass it on to Dudley without being like, “dude, you can’t tell anyone.” I mean how likely is it that Dudley, of all people, breaks one of the biggest stories of the year, and does it on frickin’ Twitter?

I also don’t think Chicago’s that high on the list ‘cuz it seems like LeBron likely made up his mind before deciding to announce his decision on ESPN, and Chi-Town didn’t have Booze at that point. They definitely seem like they’ve gotta be behind Cleveland.

Lastly, if LeBron DOESN’T go to Miami, he’ll be second guessing himself forever if Wade & Bosh get rings. Like if he leaves Cleveland, of course they’ll never win a ring without him. Chicago, while much better with Boozer, is unlikely to win it all without a final piece to push them over the top. Ditto the Knicks. Like yes, maybe we get Tony Parker and Carmelo Anthony, but that’s a lot of assumptions for LBJ to base his future. Versus Miami, he can see they’ve got the superstars. Yes, it could take them a few years to fill out the rest of the roster, but it’s much easier to be 100% confident that they can get supporting players than that any team will be able to nab a second (or third!) superstar.

Sure, maybe we’ll get LBJ, but I’d say it ain’t looking good.

My order would be 1) New York, 2) Chicago, 3) Cleveland.

Amar’e's signing was huge and a lot of league insiders are apparently saying NY is the leading candidate to land LeBron. Pair that with Amare’s former teamate Jared Dudley saying LeBron is going to NY and well… it’s looking good for the Knickerbockers.
