06/16/11 Looking back on things, maybe it was best that LeBron James took his vast talent and ego to South Beach and not Chicago.Around this time last year, it seemed like such a good idea for the Bulls to acquire the King of all free agents. Heck, most Bulls fans would have relinquished the Michael Jordan statue and a Willis Tower to be named later just to see No. 6 in Chicago.A year ago, when I wrote ...
