~*~2014 NBA OffSeason Thread - Free Agency Starts - 7/1 12am ~*~

Why did Riley even bring up that she was pregnant and having a girl???

Was it a question or something I didn't catch the press conference
 
LBJ is gonna go back to Cleveland??....his best chance to win another title is with another rookie head coach?

The other side of the coin is,if he does go....we will find out how good of a coach Spo is:lol:
 
Bosh.... If you make me choose right now Parsons can walk at that price that's over paying if I've ever saw it.





Yeah that would SUCK!

I'm thinking we still do something in free agency though. If not then I hate saying this but there's always next year's class





Something is going on behind the scenes I think. Every indication was Parsons and his agent knew the deal. They knew Parsons was coveted by the rockets and they knew they'd match an offer sheet but they just needed him to stand pat and let them make their big splash in free agency. For this to happen something happened behind closed doors.

Dude wasted ZERO TIME signing that offer sheet! 11:01pm central time...... One minute after :lol:






Yeah man what would any of us do? You go from making $900k a year to $15 million a year by simply signing your name? That's one helluva raise!

Dude, if Los Angeles, Chicago, or New York offered me 900k, and Milwaukee offered me 15 mil...

...I'm going to motherfucker Milwaukee. I don't give a fuck how wack the city is. Shit, you're paid - you can travel. :lol:
 
It will because of the heat front office

Riley came out there and tried the ra ra speech about manhood and sacrifice to a dude who just sacrificed while the owner did not.

Riley is a fraud gm in this situation.
Yup.

Why did Riley even bring up that she was pregnant and having a girl???

Because he is a arrogant, entitled asshole who bought into the media hype of him as the "Godfather" who cant be refused or told no.
 
listening to ESPN Radio

Marc Stein said that Lebron didn't like that Pat Riley challenged him in the press conference. Also that his wife and Lebron was furious that Riley told the world she was pregnant and having a girl because it was people in their family they had not told yet alone what the sex of their child was and Lebron especially Savanna were furious that the news came out like that.

I will say this. This reminds me of 4 years ago how all these little bit of pieces are coming out that hinted why Lebron would leave Cleveland. Deja vu

So if Lebron leaves this will likely be because of the Heat front office?

Did that really happen? I never heard of Riley doing that

So basically Bron is a sucka if he goes back to either team

MIAMI — Pat Riley says LeBron James' home team is growing.

The Miami Heat president revealed Thursday that the four-time NBA MVP and his wife Savannah are expecting for a third time, their latest addition to be a girl.

No word yet on when the baby is arriving. James and his wife already have two sons.

Riley dropped the nugget during his season-ending meeting with reporters on Thursday, saying, "Savannah now is going to have a little baby girl to join her in the fight against the two boys and LeBron, which she needs."

James and his wife were married last summer, and have been together for more than a decade.

He said everything in the book. It was the equivalent of a drunk man who lost his woman and knew she was fucking his best friend crashing their engagement party and swinging wildly at everybody inside.
 
Right and i'm not putting my team in jeopardy because of it. You already traded Asik for nothing and to the Pelicans....who btw squad looking nice. Your front court is now Anthony Davis and Asik? You got Jrue Holiday, Eric Gordon, Tyreke Evans? Man........

ya NO was one of the teams I followed last year just to see how they were shaping up...they should make the playoffs this year...then again they're in the west so a lot of comp out there

crazy shit...pretty much everybody but heat "fans" knew that press conference from riley was a bad play
 
ya that sort of news shouldn't be coming from your GM...that's fucking odd as hell

Yup during that press conference I was like, "damn why he's said that"


Mickey don't do what he said he would do...
Spo being stubborn...
Riley dropping Lebron's news...
Mickey FINALLY opting to use the exceptions

I'm say this, if he leave it is what it is... I don't like the idea of him going back to the Cavs, just because of Dan Gilbert.
 
Because he is a arrogant, entitled asshole who bought into the media hype of him as the "Godfather" who cant be refused or told no.

I used to like pat til I read shaq's book...I never used to like to hear ppl compare NBA players to slaves but after the donald sterling event and reading about the iron fist riley used on players during his early days in miami as coach/GM I @ least understand the sentiment even tho I still don't fully agree w/ it
 
So two things:

Parsons' contract has not been finalized. We were under the impression that he had signed it last night but the paperwork hasn't been finalized and won't be finalized until later tonight. So the clock hasn't started ticking yet to match the offer sheet.

Now, why is that paperwork not in yet?

According to Eddie Sefko tweeted at 11:46am there is a potential sign n trade in the works. Pieces haven't been disclosed, but that's the hold up.

Is Morey stalling? :lol: that would be epic if it were. Offer a sign n trade to buy more time for your decision making in whether to match the offer sheet or not.

Asik trade isn't finalized tho

:lol:

The salary cap came in about $140k less than expected and now there are concerns that NO might not be able to clear the cap space to validate the trade.

Riley said M. Miller amnesty & J. Anthony trade were because of roster duplication & not to save $. Simply, LeBron didn't see it that way
 
New CBA needs to get rid of this fake free agency

Every team should be able to pay a equal amount for any player

U want to pay a player his MAX

Make space

Fuck this RFA shit

The all mighty Morey fucking up this year

First you could've had Parsons for 900K and now this?
 
At this point its still just a guy taking his time to make the best decision for himself personally and professionally. But after midnight, we will officially be two business weeks into the free agency period and he would have crossed into "ho ass nigga" territory. Dude needs to have a fucking decision and end this shit before the weekend comes.

Nah he already in it

All these niggas are hoe ass niggas
 
Did that really happen? I never heard of Riley doing that

So basically Bron is a sucka if he goes back to either team
Brian Windhorst said this was a bad year to opt out. Really no where to go, best option was to say in Miami for another year, then head to The Knicks in 2015...

Miami's front office handled James wrong
Cavs owner shitted on James


And we're wondering why dude have said where he's going
 
Bron gonna re-up with the heat for a 1 to 2 year opt out with the heat... I think he making riles sweat.

I actually just watched Riley press conference and yeah don't know why he said that

What he should have said was we had a great run and hopefully the core guys can come back to take another crack at the title.

This my whole thing about the Riley situation. How did he know Lebron was expecting but his own family members didn't know? All of it seems odd. When I read that shit above I thought it was a twitter account trying to be funny. That being said, that shit won't have no effect on whether Lebron leaves or not. But I know people gonna try and make it such.

ya NO was one of the teams I followed last year just to see how they were shaping up...they should make the playoffs this year...then again they're in the west so a lot of comp out there

Yea I thought Pelicans roster underachieved last year. I'm looking at them from top to bottom.....they had a squad last year too. Wouldn't shock me at all to see them make it this year. I almost expect them too.
 
what's the story there...I've heard a couple ppl say this...did the rockets try to do right and restructure his contract or what?

The rockets had a team option to pick up Parsons under his rookie deal which would have paid him around $900k. But that would have made him a unrestricted free agent in 2015 and the Morey didn't want to run that risk.

No he didn't Gilbert is a different animal

What riles said I agreed with in winning titles in 4 different decades... You can take it as a motivational speech or a personal challenge

Gilbert on the other had took direct personal shots at Lebron and saying he hope kids will be the opposite of him, called him a coward, a quitter etc

Sorry bruh riles conference don't compare to what Gilbert said and the. To add insult left that letter on the cavs website for 4 yrs..

What riles did ain't pseudo it was a challenge to the big 3 to accept the defeat and come back again for a rematch.. And I agree and see what he was trying to say he could have chose a better way to say it
 
Melo still mum...

Bosh got 3 days before the Houston offer is off the table? I think Bron will wait 4 more days lmaoooo

Don't know but this shit getting weird by the day
 
Melo having 2nd thoughts

Lebron played riley in Vegas at the flamingo :lol:

Riley bout to sign hella one year deals for that 2015 2016 cap space :lol:

Y'all might get durant
