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

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.

thanks! :yes:
 
Riley said M. Miller amnesty & J. Anthony trade were because of roster duplication & not to save $. Simply, LeBron didn't see it that way
I actually didn't have a problem with the Miller decision. he guy was playing something like 30odd games a year and had contemplated retirement the year before. Who the fuck foresaw him playing 82 games?

The all mighty Morey fucking up this year

First you could've had Parsons for 900K and now this?
I never agreed with that move. I understand his reasoning but it was a bad decision. That 900k was an asset.
 
Riley's acting like a preacher standing at the pearly gates on Judgement Day. He just KNEW he was getting in,.....until he found out that he wasn't. Now he's asking to return to earth to do one more food drive to help put him over the top.
 
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

Clock hasn't started ticking on Parsons yet homie. See below:





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.

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.

basically
 
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

No it wasn't

It was a ploy to get them to take another pay cut while the owner doesn't do what he promised to do.

It was him trying to test their manhood and calling them out for something and calling them to do something they already did and didn't need to do again.

Instead of him saying it's on me as the GM because I didn't put the right pieces around and the moves I made didn't work out

he said you guys need to do this or that. He talking bout his wife having a baby and shit.

Riley was completely WRONG

that wasn't no challenge man, anybody watching that knew it wasn't no challenge. that was a rant and a move to try to guilt them into doing the owner's bidding and it didn't work so far.
 
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.

Lebron is a bitch ass nigga Has always been a entitled baby. I love lebron but that is who he is. He has been catered to his entire life.

Pat is about discipline. Part of why he lost in Cleveland was his immaturity. When Lebron can't have his way he pouts.

Plenty of rich people are asses tho

I'm talking in terms of accomplishments but in regards to breaking the news about him and his wife expecting no I don't agree with

Like I said I understood what he was saying he went bout it wrong

He should've said we had a great run and hopefully we can come back and do it again and left it at that and talk about plans moving ahead to get back to the finals

Didn't he bail on the Knicks?
 
Didn't he bail on the Knicks?

Nope Dave chekettes was threatened by pat cause he wanted a front office gig and coach with the snicks

Chekettes made him a verbal promise and when they lost the finals to the rockets chekettes re-nig on the deal and took that shit back which made Riley furious

So riles resigned by fax lmaooo he didn't even tell the snicks in advice

Dudes on here posting tender ass reasoning on while THEY wouldn't go to Cleveland, keep bringing up Gilbert and what they wouldn't do and shit hoping LeBron paid his 15 bills and trips up over that shit, reads it and it 'sways' his decision! :lol:

Bosh has the potential to come out of this looking like a bitch nigga too, he all but put LeBron entire Jawn in his mouth talking about he'd rather stay in Miami and play with him than take bread, and if LeBron stalls his ass out until the Rockets have to make a decision, and Bosh loses out on that Max deal, he will be a fucking punchline for the next 30 years and shit!! LeBron be like 'Fuck Yo Loyalty Nicca, do you cuz I'm for damn sure doing me!'

And where has D Wade been during all this?!?!? *Nicca's at the the tMobile store getting his phone checked! Shit ain't ringing! :lol:
 
Let the roasting begin :lol:

Chris Sheridan Tricked By Fake Chris Broussard Account Confirming His LeBron James To Cleveland Report

Longtime NBA reporter Chris Sheridan reported on Wednesday night that NBA superstar LeBron James would be returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers after playing four seasons with the Miami Heat.

James notoriously left his home state of Ohio in 2010 to team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. He received heavy criticism for the way he handled his departure with “The Decision” to announce he was "taking [his] talents to South Beach."

Now he's a free agent for the second time in his career, and many have envisioned James returning to Cleveland with all transgressions forgiven.

Sheridan’s report, posted on his site Sheridan Hoops, said James informed Heat president Pat Riley during their meeting Wednesday that he would be returning to Cleveland, and called it one of the biggest days in the city's sports history.

Sheridan said James will return to the Cavs as a “successful, seasoned adult” hoping to bring the city its first pro championship in 50 years. He also said James would reveal his latest decision on his official website.

Sheridan’s contemporaries and former colleagues like Chris Broussard, however, countered soon after with reports saying James had not made a decision yet after his meeting with Riley.

Still, Sheridan was a bit too eager to further bolster his report, and retweeted a post from a fake Broussard Twitter account.

The retweet was quickly taken down from Sheridan’s Twitter timeline, but the damage was done, with fans calling him out for his mistake.

To be fair, the erroneous account’s handle was changed by one letter, and at quick glance it can easily be mistaken for Broussard’s real account, complete with the same yearbook picture.

There has been no solid confirmation that James is heading back to Cleveland. Meanwhile, free-agent speculation has run wild in recent days, with many NBA reporters eager to be the first to report where James and other stars will sign.

Earlier in the day, Frank Isola of the New York Daily News reported that Carmelo Anthony would be re-signing with the New York Knicks. Anthony's agent later denied that a deal was done.

Report: If LeBron James leaves Miami, Chris Bosh will sign with Rockets

ESPN reports that Miami Heat free agent forward Chris Bosh has decided to sign with the Houston Rockets if LeBron James decides to leave Miami. James met with Pat Riley on Wednesday but no decision has been reached thus far, nor is expected Wednesday.

If James does choose to leave the Heat, free agent Chris Bosh will sign with the Houston Rockets, sources said. James not rushing to make a choice could put a time squeeze on Bosh. Though he hopes to remain with the Heat along with James, sources said, Bosh has secured a backup offer for four years and $88 million from the Rockets.

The issue becomes more complicated after the Mavericks sign Chandler Parsons to a max offer sheet Wednesday night at 12:01 a.m. Thursday. From the moment the offer sheet is signed and delivered to the Rockets, Houston has three days to match the offer for their restricted free agent or lose him. Until they match, only Parson's $964,000 qualifying offer counts against their cap, but after they match, his max offer at roughly $12 million per year counts against them, eliminating the room for Bosh.

What does this mean? It means Chris Bosh has three days to figure out if James is coming back or not. If James takes until after midnight Sunday morning to decide to leave, Bosh may be stuck with Miami without James with an aging Dwyane Wade. If he signs before James does, he risks missing out on being a part of the Heat's Big 3 in Miami.

In short: this is pretty complicated.NBA.com disputes the report, on top of everything else.


James is unlikely to take that long. As well as the prospect of putting everyone in the northern hemisphere out of their misery waiting for him to make up his mind, James is unlikely to want to mess with Bosh's career like that. James will take the time he needs to make a decision, but will do so with the understanding that his decision directly impacts that of a teammate and friend's career. Leaving Dwyane Wade would be unavoidable. Giving Bosh the opportunity to find another contender to join would not be.

There had been speculation that Bosh could remain in Miami even if James left, based on how much he likes Miami and his reluctance to return to Texas. Bosh grew up in Dallas, and has spoken strongly of his love for Miami's culture.

Either way, the dominoes which everyone has been waiting for so long to fall are more closely connected than we thought. Everyone's just waiting for the push.

So why are people saying he bailed? Btw, thanks for that explanation. I never knew the whole story, outside of him quitting by fax.

Because of the fax… :smh:

Since he didn't call or quit in person, people say he bailed but Checketts fucked that up… :smh:

Not surprising considering that Checketts also mentored Scott Layden… :smh:
 
Bosh is a bitch.

You a grown man and you have your own family.

You call Lebron and ask what are you going to do. I'm not going to say shit, are you going to sign with the heat long term or not? If he says no or i don't know.

you call up the rockets and say I want the max
 
If these dudes waiting to try and freeze you out STILL go get the max and them dudes weren't your friends any way
