Pat Riley, Dwyane Wade, Udonis Haslem, and LeBron James were together tonight in Coconut Grove. No sign of Chris Bosh.

Why is big Z there tho he still work in the Cavs front office

Yeah, he's an assistant to the GM. I guess as long as they weren't talking business it was all good.

Yeah, he already said he was opting out. He left $15 million on the table in 2010, now they want him to take another pay cut. Go ahead and save the billionaire some more money on the luxury tax.

I just read a statement from someone in management. He was pretty much saying we appreciate the fans' patience as we'll be in the lottery again NEXT SEASON.

Re: ~*~2014 NBA OffSeason Thread - Draft 6/26 ~*~

Bosh will still be the third option..

Lowry sole purpose would be to put pressure on defenses. With wade Bron and bosh his job would actually be easier because teams would know who to game plan for

and if bosh is going to be the 3rd option in the prime of his career to a one legged wade i don't blame him if he cuts and goes to dallas or houston.

haslem is a lifer that's all there is to that. he's from florida went to florida and spent his career in miami he's not going anywhere regardless

that doesn't mean anything either way in my opinion.

fuck the sixers

they're just trying to not spend any money and get people to come spend theirs and sell a dream.. that's where their money is going, telling season ticket holders they have a "plan" just hold on for another 15 years and we promise you it'll all be worth it. meanwhile keep coming to the games

but for man...how you gonna draft a player who was hurt and couldn't play all last season. Pick up Bynum and then draft two more players that won't play all next season. And the guy was like..our eyes lit up when it was announced that Embiid had the foot injury. And when Parker was drafted, our dreams came true. Almost makes me think if they had the first pick, they would have still used it on Embiid. 7 footers with injury issues are no bueno.

Re: ~*~2014 NBA OffSeason Thread - Draft 6/26 ~*~

Suprised nobody drafted Patric Young from the Gators.

I would love for the Nets to sign him even though we drafted Jefferson from Baylor. With Lopez coming back from injury, KG still old as shit and Blatche potentially leaving; having some additional big bodies never hurts

i'm not talking about money im talking about disrespect

it's downright disrespectful at this point to him and his skills

if he is 3rd option after this ass whooping they just took cause wade was the 2nd option...?

when he and lebron are the only mismatches the team has and will have every single night?

nah..

nah..

But then you are asking Wade to take a paycut AND to become a third option.

Either way, you have to get one of them to do something batshit to hold the Miami thing together.

sixers gm at this point is just like... the season don't matter we play for the draft.

and he should be HAPPY to do it

this dude missed 30 games last season to be ready for the playoffs where he didn't show up...

and he gonna come back and be like... yea I'm still #2?

I don't think people understand how this could easily have been done on any other team they wanted to? Like miami wasn't the only place this could have happened.. they could leave wade to his miami and he'd retire withing 2 years more than likely..

he should be the 1st to make all sacrifices... at the time he had the ring he had some clout he was still healthy.. now?

Very true. Is Wade even a safe 3rd option at this point? He is aging in dog years. He will have to miss 35 games this year with expected production to be even lower than this year. They going to need Melo down there or some shit(which will still put Bosh @ 3).

right

but if they got melo with bosh

wade would be better just straight up coming off the bench but we know he'd never do that shit.

Funny thing is, at his press conference yesterday Hinkie basically said that. He has a 3 year plan and talked about the futility of teams who are not say playoff teams now thinking they become contenders by adding a high priced star or two. How did that work for the Knjcks?

Gonna be a tough 2 years but a patient fan can see what he's trying to do. Wants nothing left from the Collins era, completely blew the team up and is starting from scratch. Who wants a team just good enough to be a middle of the pack playoff team only to regularly lose in the first or second rounds?

A lot if ifs but I take my chances on Embiid at three over all of the remaining players at the time, jokers are gonna get a lot of on my Sixers short term but our day is coming Bruh

Nah just shows they know they are in a organization and popular destination.

The owner takes care of the players look at the coaches on the bench and front office..

OMG you didn't watch the Washington series. Hill stepped up to the plate defensively. I'm done with this. Good luck Felton.

I didn't even see this

Yeah, George Hill did such a good job on John Wall they had Paul George guarding him.

You didn't watch any of that series either, huh

They better make something happen

That Chandler shit didn't pacify me



Easy for you to say

As long as I live I will wait for another team to do that shit

Cuz I never heard of it before and don't anticipate seeing it in the future

Simmons is 1000000000 percent correct

It was a pointless trade if you don't get a first

I ain't trying to hear no justification of them getting a 2nd or whatever the fuck they got we all know that ain't worth shit in the NBA

great trade IMO. what was the downside? i'll wait.

they didn't want a first cause that is guaranteed btw. you could say it was pointless but it didn't hurt at all.
