[Drake_Marcus 890]

As reported by PuckDaddy: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Junior-hockey-team-in-no-way-frontrunner-for-LeB?urn=nhl,253173

Here's the package offered to James by the Seattle Thunderbirds:

* Grand Marshall of the Kent Cornucopia Parade

* Friendly billet families that will welcome LeBron into the Kent community.

* Free Preferred Parking at ShoWare Center

* Two free tickets to Opening Night of the 2010-11 season against the Portland Winterhawks in addition to a 24-Flex Ticket Package.

* Lunch with Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke (pending Mayor's schedule) and Cool Bird.

* Use of both Allied Waste Zambonis for personal recreation.

* James St. leading to ShoWare Center will be renamed LeBron James St.

* A suite at ShoWare Center to watch the Backstreet Boys on August 5

* Entry fee will be waived for participation in the ShoWare Shootout 3-on-3 basketball tournament on August 6 and 7.

* Discounts at the Hockey Store in ShoWare Center

Funny stuff and a smart move from a publicity perspective. I'd love to see an official statement from LeBron's camp about it and an appearance by James in a Thunderbirds jersey.

The best part? This is probably the most reasonable contract offer made in the last 2 days (yes I'm mocking you Mr. Slather!).

Lol

I enjoyed that line as well. But my favourite was this:

* Entry fee will be waived for participation in the ShoWare Shootout 3-on-3 basketball tournament on August 6 and 7.

hahaha this is genius! didnt the Toledo Mud Hens do something like this for A-Rod when he was a free agent a few years ago?

Interesting, Now what are they willing to offer Bosh to come along with LeBron? Bosh should atleast get free parking and discounts at the Hockey Store.

I think they'd do it if they waived the ShoWare 3 on 3 basketball event clause. Imagine if Bosh and Wade signed too. That'd be one hell of a ShoWare 3 on 3 basketball tourney squad.

The funny thing is that Bosh is being such a diva right now that he'd definitely respond to the offer in some way. I can't get over how much of an attention ***** Bosh is being. Look how professional Wade is acting compared to Bosh.
