Dirk was never down with letting Tyson go
He just so loyal to the organization he was about as quiet as he could be about it

i guess it was true......Bosh gettin 11mil/yr.......Wade...4yrs/$12mil

This may be true but I just find it hard to believe they've asked Dirk on every acquisition thus far. He had a hand in firing Avery Johnson and trading Devin for Kidd. Dirk has some say in this franchise. Maybe the last straw was trying to keep Chandler. And they did offer him a contract he just declined that 1 year bullshit.
Damn.....I didn't see this coming AT ALL. That dude Wade is about to make less money in 4 years than he would've made ALL of last year. Never saw that coming. I don't know if I should give props or not. I guess it depends on what they do with the pay cut.
walked?
Damn...maybe he rolled into the fucking meeting.
And another thing. To my people that know the cap how the hell the Rockets get away with giving Lin 5 million a year and then the shit boosting to 14 million the next year?
If i'm a GM i'd sign all my guys to do that shit. But I guess if you scared of the luxury tax its gonna eat you up in that last year if you sign all your dudes like that. Very interesting way to sign guys though.

Agent Henry Thomas, on report clients Bosh & Wade will take $12M/per & $11M/per, respectively: "all the BS you are reading is just that."

Wait. Wade got 11 million PER year? What's this 4 million per year coming from?
Henry thomas said it's bulhshit.
If Wade and Bosh took less bread so LeBron can get his max deal and free up bread so the Hear can build around them I will officially be pulling for them next season. Shows a lot of character!
Who else would pay Wade's broken up ass more than 10 mil a season?
Man I bet a team like Milwaukke would give Wade at least 11 a year
Lol in 2 years Bron will Darth Vader these cats again. Wade gonna re sign for a year supply of free juice from Bron's wife.
Bosh gonna settle for MLE and lap dances at a Gay strip club

He's a sucka. He's really scared to lead a team as the #1 option and wants to hide behind Lebron to the point he'd take a pay cut to do it.
Bosh already lead Toronto to the play offs and was the number one option.
Man don't even worry bout that, Bosh is good with his self...
Bosh played in Toronto, of all places didn't bitch about anything just balled...
Was able to get to the playoffs a few times...
Came to grips with things, used his only option(free agency) and moved on.
Dude could've went to any other team and shit would've been kool(Amare didn't caught any flack for going to NY)!!!
Melo don't receive as much hate and he force his self outta Denver, Dwight gets clowned but not to this degree!!!
Bosh was the first to sign with Miami 2010
Bosh was the first to say, he wanted to remain in Miami...
(I kinda feel like dude would stay, regardless of what Wade and James did...
Dude was to first to say he'll take a cut in pay to remain in Miami and keep the Big 3 together!!!
I'm guessing some of us just like fucking with dude...

you read it wrong...it said 4 years starting @ 12 PER year...you read it as 12 for 4 years...in any event it's a rumor
Report: LeBron wants 1-2 year deal w/ Heat
LeBron James is seeking a maximum salary on a short-term contract with the Heat which would expire after 1-2 years, according to John Canzano of the Oregonian.
Such a deal would theoretically allow LBJ to play a few more years with Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade before their declining play closes the championship window, at which point he could seek his fortunes elsewhere as a free agent. He'd hit free agency again as a 31-year-old if he does sign a two-year deal, setting him up for another massive multi-year pact.

Well shit the Heat giving him 12
I bet a team like Houston or Golden State would give Bosh 15 a year
Safe to say he won't be retiring in Miami
Bosh and Wade gonna lock themselves in long term for those shaky deals and Lebron will eventually dip
bosh has to get out
McDermott Trade Costs Bulls Cap Space
By Joel Brigham | Senior NBA Writer
The Truth Behind the Doug McDermott Trade
When it was first announced on Thursday night that the Chicago Bulls had made a trade that would send the No. 16 and No. 19 picks in the draft for the rights to Creighton forward Doug McDermott, the initial response was pretty much this:
“Oh good. The Bulls traded two first-round picks for one so they can amass as much cap space as possible in a potential free agency push for Carmelo Anthony. Let all of us in Chicago rejoice!”
The truth, though, is something quite a bit different, and that truth became clear once it was made known that forward Anthony Randolph and his $1.825 million salary would also be coming to Chicago in the deal.
According to Mark Deeks of Sham Sports, by adding that money to McDermott’s $1.898 million cap hold as the 11th pick and a roster charge of over $500,000, the Bulls actually added money to the payroll in this deal rather than create more space for Anthony by consolidating picks. All told, Chicago has about $1 million less to offer Carmelo in free agency (assuming they amnesty Carlos Boozer) than they would have had they drafted Jusuf Nurkic and Gary Harris themselves.
So why make the trade, then? The way Gar Forman spoke at the introductory press conference, the deal was made because Chicago really, really liked McDermott. He’s been on their radar for years and is, quite frankly, a pretty perfect player for their team this year. He’s mature and accomplished enough to help right away, plus he can score the ball in a variety of situations, and putting up points was an area in which Chicago was dead-last in 2013-14.
Denver apparently sensed Forman’s desperation and moved the trade beyond just the No. 16 and No. 19 for the No. 11 and got Chicago to take back a dumb contract and send the Nuggets a future second-round pick. The answer to why the trade was made is pretty simple: the Bulls wanted him and were okay doing something silly in order to get him.
This doesn’t mean, however, that Randolph is in the team’s plans, and Forman has referred to him as a sign-and-trade piece despite the fact that Randolph already played in New York and they were so interested in him that they let him walk away to sign with Denver. Who traded him Chicago. Who now thinks there’s an outside chance that he can be used as part of a sign-and-trade package for Carmelo Anthony.
It doesn’t seem likely, and it’s even tougher when one considers that his contract cannot be aggregated with another player’s contract in trade for two months. Deeks has explained in depth that there is a sneaky way around this, and that Randolph could actually be included in a deal that would send him back to New York along with other Bulls players, but the hard part is dealing with New York’s perceived disinterest in Randolph (and Boozer, for that matter) more than it is about dealing with the money.
Randolph is a very small expiring contract, so unloading him shouldn’t be an entirely impossible task, and now that McDermott is on the roster, trading Mike Dunleavy, Jr. and his $3+ million salary next year is a little more palatable, as well. Amnesty Boozer and do something with Taj Gibson, and Chicago could have enough money to sign Carmelo outright.
If they can convince New York to do a sign-and-trade (if Chicago is where Anthony ultimately decides is the place for him), they probably lose the same players but then keep their mid-level exception, which could potentially be used on Euro-stud Nikola Mirotic.
Obviously, the sign-and-trade looks as though it would be the better deal for both teams, but it’s impossible to know how all of this will pan out. What we do know is that Chicago absolutely did not create cap space by pulling off the McDermott trade. Rather, they have $1 million fewer to offer Melo as a result, at least for now.

That's cool that way the heat can retool again
Smart man... Don't piss away the tail end of your prime years in Miami with Wade and his glass knees. 1 or 2 more title runs in Miami, then bolt to a better situation if that championship door is closed there..
Man, like I said, LeBron Deeboed them cats.
Made them sign long term deals to get the same $$$ they were going to make in two years then after 2 years, he'll hit them with the...
As I said before, any cat coming there better get that same opt out. Getting stuck in that place when Lebron dips is going to be the pits. The owner will have a fire sale.
Don't let the Cavs win 45 or more games in 2014-2015. He'll jump on that opportunity to leave the aging Heat and have his 'homecoming' tale -- especially if the Heat don't pull off the championship.
Man, like I said, LeBron Deeboed them cats.

You niggas changing your tones as the wind blows shit is comical
Man y'all tripping....
Wade - Heat fa life
Haslem - Heat fa life
Bosh - family love Miami life
Lebron's contract has to do with the owner and spending money!!!
Plus saying in control of the things he could...
Dude likely to be the top free agent in three different offseasons with max deal potential!!!

He's a sucka. He's really scared to lead a team as the #1 option and wants to hide behind Lebron to the point he'd take a pay cut to do it.
And to play for a coach who doesn't use him right
Bosh like playing the bitch
He getting paid to chuck up jump shots

Like I said, Wade could make 40Mil plus with his current deal. Instead he will make 24, Bron will Dream shake him and he will spend his last 2 years in a ghost city. Or, Bron will come to him like Lando in cloud city, tell him opt out again and take this juice bar voucher.
Make the owner pay the tax for 2 years. These is some ole Our Gang ass Ninjas. Pay as you exit and shit.
