Ok. I haven't a clue. But, before u get hitched, u date.

1. Bulls are surprisingly in NO hurry to hire a coach.

2. Calipari is interested in Bulls. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/basketball/bulls/ct-spt-0506-bulls-chicago--20100505,0,1180617.story

2a. Calipari and James are tight. And for those who dont know, Calipari was Bulls' Rose's coach in college. Lebron visits Calipari at kentucky. http://www.wlky.com/news/21598386/detail.html

2b. Calipari hires Lebron's friend: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/blog/the_dagger/post/John-Calipari-s-newest-recruiting-tool-LeBron-J?urn=ncaab,188616

3. Game 3 cavs, bulls. Calipari walking with Leon Rose, James' agent.

4. Game 4. Lebron's mom is even involved in a dinner with Brian Urlacher of the bears. http://www.courant.com/topic/ct-spt-0503-around-town--20100502,0,7554929.column

why the hell do you bring your mom to a dinner if you arent seriously considering moving there.

5. This week. Again Calipari is at a cleveland game v Celtics and sitting next to him is again Leon Rose, Lebron's agent. ProBasketball:

One week after the first report linking him to Chicago and four days after an NBA official suggested Cleveland should hire him to increase their chances of resigning LeBron, there was Calipari seated courtside at the Cavs-Celtics playoff game in Cleveland. Seated next to him on one side was LeBron's agent, Leon Rose. Seated a few seats away on the other was Cavs owner Dan Gilbert.

The official reason for Calipari's presence was to accompany the family who won Cavs playoff tickets in Kentucky's Haiti telethon a few months ago, but the sight of him alongside Rose certainly raised eyebrows. Of course, the major reason an NBA team would have interest in Calipari is in hopes that his strong relationship with LeBron and mutual confidante World Wide Wes would help a franchise lure professional basketball's most prized free agent this summer.

---------------------------------------------

I really dont know what is going on. This is pure speculation on my part. Everyone assumes that James will go back to Cleve for money or to NYC for bigger money and chance at championship.

Chicago is considered lowest probability cuz behind in money but maybe better for championship with Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah.

But, connecting the dots lately... seems very peculiar, doesnt it?

------------------------------------------------

from the New York Post, Pete Vecsey, who wrote Sunday:

"...according to someone in the know, LeBron is viewing the Bulls as a wild card challenger; no other suitor need apply.

That explains why rising restricted free agent Tyrus Thomas... wasn't given an extension. Chicago definitely believes it has a shot at luring LeBron. As talented as Thomas is, the Bulls secured two excellent rookie forwards—Brooklyn's Taj Jami Gibson and James Johnson—in the draft and figure to have roughly $20 million in cap room in case LeBron feels the urge to replicate Air Jordan's Windy City flight plan."
