Don't worry ninjas gonna be plea coppin on how the heat on some cheatin shit once the signings are done
Bosh is such a bitch. Fuck Lebron, take the money and provide for your family. Fuck he waiting on Lebron for? Truth is, if he leaves so will Lebron and vice versa. Wade is the only odd man out.
And meanwhile Heat fans, Shabazz Napier was getting his ass handed to him in the summer league today.
Dude stop he had a bad game
He dropped 8 pts in the fourth qt to round out 12 pts and don't say he got his ass bust by smart cause he only had 10 pts
Cat missed his first 8 shots. Had 8 turnovers, and was getting crossed the fuck up from what I saw.
I think they know Melo is staying in NY and the Rockets already moved on from Lebron. I think they are figuring out a Bosh pitch right now.
How about....
"the fuck is wrong with you? The writing is on the wall... Come get this money and form a dominate big three to compete with that Lebron/Irving/Love shit about to happen in Cleveland!!!"
Dammit jondoe, I admire somebody that rides for his squad..
Props homey
Until i hear the Heat beat writers (who are actually getting the real deal info) panic, Im confident.
Ethan j skolnick is my go to guy.
I think they know Melo is staying in NY and the Rockets already moved on from Lebron. I think they are figuring out a Bosh pitch right now.
How about....
Love? They can barely afford Lebron if he goes.
It's well known they have the pieces to get Love. The only reason they ain't doing it first is because Love said he won't sign up again unless Lebron is there.
Bosh just said he will re up with Miami so long as Bron does
Miami would rather close up shop of that's the case.
Was trying to stay away but I can't
And yet for all the machinations and fluidity of this complex dance, James holds the power to bring everything back together for the franchise. "Bosh is back in a second if LeBron commits," one league source involved in the dialogue told Yahoo Sports. Yahoo! Sport
ya I saw that already in this thread but BDR is saying that bosh himself "just said" it

LeBron James still has ability to keep Big Three in Miami as rivals hope for breakup
Yahoo Sports By Adrian Wojnarowski 1 hour ago
As LeBron James remains uncommitted and the Miami Heat work to solidify contract terms with Chris Bosh, there's a renewed hope throughout the NBA the franchise's Big Three could be jarred loose into seriously considering the free-agent market, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
And yet for all the machinations and fluidity of this complex dance, James holds the power to bring everything back together for the franchise.
"Bosh is back in a second if LeBron commits," one league source involved in the dialogue told Yahoo Sports.
Miami president Pat Riley and coach Erik Spoelstra have been crossing the country and meeting with free agents, but have remained unable to offer competitive market deals to top available players, sources said.
There had been suggestions the renegotiated contracts of James, Bosh and Dwyane Wade could leave the space for a $9 million-$10 million annual salary slot, but the figure that Miami has floated to prospective players is a first-year salary in the range of $5.5 million and hazy suggestions about sign-and-trades that would ultimately be difficult to execute, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
"A lot of hocus pocus," one high-profile agent told Yahoo Sports.
Barring Bosh and Wade caving on dramatic pay decreases, Miami's best offers still promise to be significantly below the market values of such free agents as Trevor Ariza, Luol Deng and Pau Gasol.
.
Riley and Spoelstra met with Deng on Saturday afternoon in Chicago, and pitched him on a free-agent deal with the Heat, sources said. Riley sold Deng on the Heat's ability to cultivate a player's personal brand through the winning of championships and how so many players stay connected to the organization for a lifetime, sources said. Spoelstra laid out a plan to use Deng's versatility to complement the Heat's Big Three, explaining how he'd use Deng in multiple offensive scenarios to make him the most efficient of his career.
Deng turned down a $10 million-a-year extension with Chicago before his trade to Cleveland in January, and so far he's been resolved to accept nothing less than that figure, sources said.
Riley and Spoelstra met with also Gasol and Ariza in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Miami has exuded confidence in meetings that it will retain James, Bosh and Wade, but teams continue to make moves hoping James and Bosh look seriously at the free-agent market.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are shopping Jarrett Jack's contract with a future draft pick to move closer to freeing a full maximum contract slot to offer James, league sources said. If the Cavaliers lose out on James, they're still considering a max-level offer sheet on Utah restricted free agent Gordon Hayward, sources said. The Cavaliers want to engage the Jazz on a sign-and-trade for Hayward, but Utah has shown no inclination to do anything with Cleveland but unblinkingly match an offer sheet and keep Hayward, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
The Phoenix Suns remain an intriguing dark horse for James because general manager Ryan McDonough could offer him something no one else outside Miami can now: a second max-salary slot to pick a co-star. The Suns can quickly shed $10 million more in contracts to pursue James and a second star – perhaps Bosh, if James wanted – and they'd still be able to keep the talented core of Eric Bledsoe, Goran Dragic and center Miles Plumlee.
James' agent Rich Paul represents Bledsoe and understands James' commitment to the Suns would almost guarantee he could get Bledsoe a max-contract extension with the Suns.
For now, Bosh has remained committed to finding a way to make things work in Miami, sources told Yahoo Sports, and continues to work with Heat management to find creative financial ways to upgrade the roster. As free agents start to leave the board and sign elsewhere, it could be come increasingly difficult for Riley to make a dramatic change to the roster. For now, the Heat president is on the clock and working desperately to find a way to keep it all together.

You over exaggerating. You make it sound like he was getting abused and lit up. He just shot 2 -13 and all were good shots
Man he was not getting crossed over.
Riley probably looking at Wade like" muthafucka this is all your fault".
He cant link his thoughts SoupNutz!
True. 2 for 13 (3 for 15 actually but who's counting) and 8 turnovers isn't that bad.
Shut up. He got crossed the fuck up and blown by the little point guard that came off the bench.
